Great little fishing/relaxed camping spot
Best place we stayed on our 900 mile round trip starting from Fairbanks. Fishing was good. Took us about an hour to land 4 sockeyes. Owners came down, gave us tips and offered to loan some gear we hadn't realized we needed. Bald eagles were playing, and flying around all day. The campsite we picked was by the river, plenty of room, picnic table, fire pit and a spot for our car.
This place is truly local and supports local. We were treated like locals even though we were 2000 miles from home and never been to Alaska before. I'm looking forward to coming back next year.
I definitely recommend this place for anyone who isn't impressed by people being herded from national parks into resorts, funnelled into gift shops reselling Walmart apparel and overpriced "dinner theatres".

Kennicott Riverside Campground
Primitive & Secluded
This campground is only suitable for those with their own transportation as it is a considerable drive from the footbridge, but the trek is worth it. Nice level tent sites near the river with a picnic table and stone fire ring. Outhouse and showers are a short walk away. Guides for river rafting trips live in walled tents nearby if you need anything. Breeze near the river keeps insects at bay and some greenery between sites provide privacy. A nice place to camp away from the hubbub at the end of the road.

Great people and place
The campsites are decently sized. The people working, visiting and in the area were all great. Very respectful of each other, helping newer fishers with techniques and how to tips. we had many great encounters with people on this adventure. Caught lots of reds and exchanged some great receipts with others. We took the car and gear without any problems. The shop had firewood for sale along with basic necessities.

Right on the river
Well maintained campground. Kind of like a folk festival. Very friendly staff. If you are looking for a great place to camp here it is.
Call and make reservations! 907-822-3991 or kscharters@gmail.com
Prices are a little high for tent camping but pretty standard for RVs. Pets are welcome but drive slowly. Not a ton of room between spots.

If you are into fishing then maybe
This is a place to stay if all you want is fishing. Not a family campground. I tried reserving their cabin but it was no longer for rent.
If you are looking to just stop somewhere there are plenty of pull offs on the side of the road.
This campground is right on the river but for $20 a day you can go to a state campground for $5 more and have a better experience.

Roughing it even with hookups
We drove through wanting to stay but were seriously grossed out. We got the impression that some sites had full time tenants. It was dirty, the bathrooms were stinky nasty outhouses with seats hanging on the wall. Trash just laying on the ground right next to the bins. Most sites were rough and wide open. A lot of did not have picnic tables or fire rings. Would not recommend unless you bring all your own amenities. Nothing but fishing so if that is what your looking for you may find it more acceptable than we did.

Amazing campground
I would stay here all summer long! This was a great campground with a beautiful waterfall. Our campsite had a short walk to a waterfall the family and I played in. It was an amazing experience. The showers/bathrooms here weren’t terrible. We filled up our camper with water and dumped our camper at this site with ease. I would 100% stay here again.

Must stay!
We love coming back to this campground! If you have time for the trip, it's worth it. Very casual with no defined spots. Plenty of room, but arrive early on busy weekends to get the best space. No defined sites. Listen to running water at night and view the glacire from your tent

Nice cabins to rent if you don't want to take a tent or RV! Watch out for wildlife. Check out a cool old mining town or just get out of your busy life and relax. Beautiful view, clean air, and quiet!

Beautiful views close to McCarthy's walking bridge. Picnic Benches. Very friendly host. Must try the Roadside Potatohead! It was about a 10 minute walk from our campsite.
