Healy Overlook

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Managed by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Healy Overlook sits on state patented land with direct views of Mt. Healy and Sugarloaf Mountain. Access requires a rough road, so high-clearance vehicles are advisable. The site has no formal infrastructure beyond a makeshift fire pit, and occasional traffic passes through from a nearby road serving other local campgrounds. Camping is free, and campfires, pets, and alcohol are all permitted. Campers who appreciate places to camp near Healy with minimal development will find this worth the drive.

Beautiful local overlook spot

This is an area that locals like to keep somewhat a secret. A beautiful overlook point that you can be camping right across from Mt. Healy with wonderful views of Sugarloaf mountain. The road is a bit patchy so rental cars or delicate cars probably shouldn’t be taken out there. Just a makeshift fire pit and a spectacular view out there but it is worth it. This particular spot is right next to one of the roads to other local campgrounds so be prepared for other cars to drive by occasionally. Because it’s a local spot we must ensure it is kept clean!
