With just 10 sites accessible via a sharp turn off the main road near Chitina, Liberty Falls State Recreation Site operates on a first-come, first-serve basis for $20 per night. The campground accommodates RVs up to 50 feet, though only a few sites work for larger rigs. Most camping happens directly alongside the creek with the waterfall as a backdrop.
Four sites include tent platforms, while others offer level ground for tent setup. The single pit toilet serves all campers, and a hand-pump well provides drinking water during the main season. Bear-proof trash receptacles and fire rings with picnic tables equip each site. "Spots are small but the waterfall is amazing," notes Tanya B., highlighting the trade-off between space and proximity to the falls.
The waterfall creates a swimming hole at its base where campers can wade during warmer months. A short trail begins about 100 yards up the road for those wanting to explore further. Cell reception proves spotty throughout the area. The campground's location within Wrangell-St. Elias National Park provides access to campgrounds around Wrangell - St Elias National Park & Preserve for those planning extended stays in the region.
Campers seeking more developed facilities can consider Copper River Campground — Wrangell-St. Elias National Park eight miles southeast.
