Healy Overlook

Alaska's Department of Natural Resources manages Healy Overlook, a free camping area positioned across from Mt. Healy with views toward Sugarloaf Mountain. The access road has rough patches that may challenge rental cars or low-clearance vehicles. Campers find a makeshift fire pit at this overlook point, though the spot sits adjacent to a road used by other camping areas outside Healy, so occasional vehicle traffic passes through. Local campers emphasize keeping the area clean to preserve access to this elevated vantage point.

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!
