BLM Galbraith Lake Recreation Site

Along the Dalton Highway in northern Alaska, BLM Galbraith Lake Recreation Site provides drive-in camping on Bureau of Land Management land from June through September. The campground features widely dispersed sites that give campers substantial space between neighbors, with one latrine serving the entire area depending on your chosen spot's distance from the facility.

Campers need to bring their own firewood since none is available on-site. The area receives minimal traffic, with sounds limited to wind, birds, and the nearby river. Wildlife including wolves and bears inhabit the region, so proper food storage precautions apply. Cell service varies by location within the campground, with some spots receiving satellite radio reception. For additional options, see campsites near BLM Land — Central Yukon Field Office.

Beautiful camping on the Alaskan Tundra

Large camping site with camp spots widely dispersed so you are not camping on top of each other.

It was very quiet here only the sound of some birds , the wind and the river.

There is one latrine for the site and depending on your site you could have a long walk to it.

If you want a fire you will have to bring wood. Having driven without XM reception since getting to Alaska we just happened on a spot where we had perfect XM reception.

We arrived in the pouring rain and just as I got the awning deployed the sun came out and treated us with a beautiful rainbow.

A camper saw a wolf in the campground and bears do live this far North .
