This undeveloped campground includes roughly 12 campsites, bearproof garbage cans, and one vault toilet. Flowing water is available at a nearby creek, but must be filtered or treated before consumption. Although the campground sits about a mile away from the lake itself ___ a remnant of a large glacial lake that once occupied the entire Atigun Valley ___ it affords spectacular views of the lake and Brooks Range, with Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve to the west and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to the east. The campground is open approximately May-September.__

Camping in the middle of nowhere

Drove up the Dalton Highway with a 37 foot 5th wheel. We camped here for two nights. Drive slow you will be ok. It was beautiful.

Great views and free

We came just after a snow and the views were amazing and the animal sightings many. A little primitive but really a welcome surprise up so far north.
