Fishing, kayaking, and swimming draw campers to this dispersed site along the Knik River outside Palmer, Alaska. The river serves as both the water source and the main draw. Recent visitors have flagged a persistent litter problem, including trash, beer cans, and human waste scattered across the area, and privacy for basic needs is limited. The site accommodates RVs up to 45 feet and allows campfires, making it a functional base for anglers and paddlers who come prepared and can tolerate a heavily used, unmanaged spot.
