Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Grizzly Lake Campground located in Alaska?

Grizzly Lake Campground is located within Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska. The campground sits in a remote wilderness area, providing access to Grizzly Lake and surrounding backcountry. As part of America's largest national park, this campground offers visitors an authentic Alaskan wilderness experience far from urban amenities. The park itself spans over 13 million acres in south-central Alaska. For exact directions to the campground, contact the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park Visitor Center as access routes may vary seasonally.

What amenities are available at Grizzly Lake Campground?

Grizzly Lake Campground offers a primitive wilderness camping experience with minimal amenities. The campground is undeveloped, meaning there is no running water, electricity, or restroom facilities available. Campers must be self-sufficient and practice Leave No Trace principles. Bear-aware camping is essential in this area - proper food storage is crucial for safety. Be prepared to filter water from natural sources and pack out all trash. The lack of facilities is balanced by the pristine natural setting and solitude this remote location provides.

How much does it cost to camp at Grizzly Lake Campground?

Camping at Grizzly Lake Campground is typically free of charge, following the backcountry camping guidelines of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. While there is no fee for camping, visitors should check with the National Park Service about any potential backcountry permits that might be required for overnight stays. Always verify current fee information directly with the park before your trip.
