WILAWAW CAMPGROUND

Some of the reviews are not for this campground. These are walk in tent sites. There are no spots for RVs or trailers. Firewood is a fun place and not too far from Anchorage. 

Make sure if you are coming from Anchorage you stop off at Potters Marsh and check out the boardwalk. So many hiking trails no matter what way you go.

Great, beautiful spot. Cool walking trail with 17 camp sites. River access, walkable to town, and very quiet. Stayed on a perfect night out. Porta-potties at the park entrance and the camp host is right out front. Worth the $10!
