Hatcher Pass – Fishhook lot

Walk-in tent sites only at this state-managed lot at the base of Marmot Mountain in Hatcher Pass. No cell service. Sites require a short hike from the parking area, and higher elevation means temperatures drop noticeably, so warm layers are worth packing even in summer. Pets are welcome. At $5 per night, it works best for tent campers who want access to alpine terrain and don't mind going off-grid. Campers exploring places to camp near Palmer will find this one among the more physically engaging options in the corridor.

Best Tent Camping

If you are a tent camper and up for a little hike this is the spot for you. It does get cooler at the higher altitude so bring warm gear or a cuddly friend (human or dog) and hike up. These are walk up tent sites only but nestled against the mountains it is so worth it. Year around use this parking lot is located at the base of Marmot Mountain
