    Moose Pass

    Calm, large and free campsite at a lake.

    Saw two seaplanes take off from the lake (take the Southern spot for this).

    Hwy is loud but manageable, train as well.

    Recommendable overnight position on the way to SEWARD.

    Moose Pass

    Large open area, approx 25 miles from Seward

    Moose Pass Trailhead

    As with most BLM trailheads, zut services. Big area, some shaded mostly unshaded but big enough to have your own space

    Seaplanes take off from lake during the day - pretty awesome

    No onsite services. Seward offers free dump and potable water - near their RV parks

    Starlink, Visible/Verizon and Cricket/Att all good

    Decision Point Dispersed Camping

    About a 5 mile ocean kayaking trip from Whittier, Alaska, tent platforms

    A 5 mile paddle from Whittier, AK. Watch the weather waves can build up quickly. A number of tent platforms, 2 toilets and a few bear proof boxes. From this camp ground it is time to "decide" which way you want to go as the sound really opens up to you. There is fresh water but boil or filter it first. I think I must have camped here at least 30 or 40 times, most of it before tent platforms, toilets or bear containers. I've camped here May June July August
