Within Tongass National Forest, Hyder Gravel Pit provides dispersed camping for those comfortable with primitive conditions. This US Forest Service site requires drive-in access but lacks developed amenities like restrooms or potable water. The gravel pit setting means campers should prepare for basic ground conditions and pack all necessary supplies.
Located less than a mile from the small border town of Hyder, the campground serves as a convenient base for exploring Alaska's southeastern wilderness. Visitors planning extended stays in the region can find campgrounds around Hyder for comparison. Self-sufficient campers who prefer undeveloped sites over established campgrounds will find this dispersed option meets their needs.
