    Well maintained campground near hike to WWII fort

    Although we didn't camp here overnight, we ended up staying in the campground for a couple hours waiting out the rain. The vault toilets and covered group cooking/eating areas were in great shape and stayed dry.

    From the campground, we hiked up to explore the abandoned WWII fort, Fort McGilvray. Super interesting and much bigger than I expected! See the full hiking route here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/alaska/caines-head-trail

    You have two options for getting here: 

    • 1. Hiking in, which we did on the way in. It is very important to check the tides, and it is recommended to avoid hiking along the beach once the tide reaches+3. See tide tables here: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaatidepredictions.html?id=9455090&legacy=1 
    • 2. Water taxi, which we did on the way back. The water taxi that we took was priced was$50 one-way. Rainy weather is common here, but fortunately there are covered areas for cooking/eating.

    Not as advertised.

    I made a reservation for the glamour tent. I showed up at 2:45pm and then waited until 3:30pm for someone to come and do the‘check in’. There was a girl that showed me where the showers were. Then she took me to an angry man who said he was willing to put me up in a hotel, they did not have any glamour tents, and then he offered me a cabin room but said there would be no curtains. And then he got mad at me for making reservations the day before and not allowing him to be prepared.. They then said they would give me a refund but charged me a cancellation fee of$183.34. I had to find a new place to stay and howling wolf resort have been dodging my phone calls and my emails. Worst customer service I have ever had. Super shady and unprofessional.

    Decent Campground

    There were several nice spots in amongst the trees for tent camping, but for the RV spots, you would want a spot along the beach or next to the bath house. We stayed in the spot named “Amy” next to the bath house. It was flat, but could be difficult to back in to if adjacent spots were full. We will stay in the North Annex next year, a place ran by the same owners.

    Totally Worth the Effort to Get Here!

    To celebrate our 10th nomadiversary and 22nd wedding anniversary, we sea kayaked into this incredible campground about 5 miles from the boat launch point at Lowell Point, and found the most perfect tent platform just off the beach.  This may be one of the most spectacular campsites we’ve ever enjoyed that is just a few miles from shore.  Making a camp fire on the pebble beach to cook our dinner and watch the sun go down couldn’t have been a better way to end the day!

    A short walk up a trail, there’s a picnic shelter with food storage lockers, and a fire rig. 

    A few more yards toward the ranger cabin you’ll find the two vault toilets (rustic, yet clean), but don’t forget to bring your own toilet paper.  This place is a paddlers dream, with easy beach access and a sheltered cove. Paddle around the headland to the south beach and you’ll find sheer rocky cliffs and sea arches -- in good weather this is simply stunning. 

    If the weather is too harsh for paddling, there’s a great hiking trail leading between the two camping areas with a side trail up to the remains of Fort McGilvray, a World War II era fort. Truly beautiful hike, gorgeous views, and very interesting history.  

    Resurrection Bay, and Seward AK, is one of the most visited areas of the Kenai Peninsula. Visitors can access this area by boat, cruise ship, plane, train, motor vehicle, bicycle, or on foot.  But, getting to Caines Head SRA is a bit of a logistical challenge, but totally worth the effort. The parking area is limited, with only a few spots for RV’s of any length, in the upper lot. But the experience is so worth it. There are a couple of cabins that are reservable through the DNR scattered throughout the Caines Head area.  These are accessible via boat or at very low tide.

    Bird Creek Campground - Chugach State Park

    Beautiful Location Close to Anchorage & Girdwood

    This is a great little campground between Anchorage and Girdwood, right along the Turnagain Arm inlet and Seward Hwy.  While the road noise from the nearby (and busy highway), could be loud at times, things mostly quieted down during the nighttime hours.  This first come-first served campground is popular on weekends because of the proximity to Anchorage, where folks usually rent RV’s to explore the Kenai Peninsula – so plan ahead. 

    The campsites are spacious, but only about half of the sites can accommodate larger RV’s; the rest can only manage a small van or travel trailer.  There is plenty of space in each site to set up a tent, if that’s how you’re going to roll. The sites were clean, as were the vault toilets.  Water is available in a few spigots distributed throughout the park, but they recommended boiling the water to be safe.  Bring your solar panels, as these sites don't have electrical hookups!

    There is a beautiful nature trail leading to the Bird to Gird (biking/walking path) for the young and old alike. Biking the path along the old railroad line is a great way to spend the afternoon.  Bike all the way to Girdwood and reward yourself with some of their famous Blueberry fritters at Alpine Cafe and Bakery, which is right off the path at the intersection of the Seward and Alyeska Hwy.  

    Two other awesome natural features of the area are Byron Glacier (easy hike) and the bore tide. During certain times of the month, the incoming tide creates an incoming wave of water that is large enough to surf.  Be sure to look for the tidal information online or in park's posted materials.  Warning!  Do not wade out into the water, the tidal mud is like quicksand and many a casual visitor has become entrapped. Heed the warnings of the locals, don’t wade out into the mud flats!

    Girdwood has many services, including gas, the aforementioned fritters, laundry and showers, groceries, bakeries, restaurants, golf course, and a ski mountain. Might we also recommend the Girdwood Brewery with its food trucks!

    Wedding Reception at Uncle Steve’s Cabin

    Perfect spot for a small wedding reception! The bon fire pit and grill gave an fun and cozy vibe while the cabin had comfortable beds and a warm stove while it was rainy. The stove would fog up the one of the big windows, but the window next it to was fine.

    Beautiful Campground on Turnagain Arm.

    Love this campground, camped here a few times 18-20 years ago. Take a day trip to Portage Glacier, ride the tram at Alyeska, take the tunnel to Whittier. Or venture further to Homer or Seward. Whales frequent Turnagain Arm as the Tide comes in. Beautiful area.

    Nothing Fancy but Cheap!

    20, 30, 50 Amp hookups and H2O. As others have said, quite tight against your neighbors and generally full during summer months. Bath house is nice and clean which is great considering there’s no sewer at the sites. Dump site on site so one can make do. A bit unorganized at check in because they don’t reserve sites until you arrive. If you’re in a big rig like I am you could find yourself SOL should the 45’ spots all be full. Overall, not a bad place because the price is right!

    First come, first serve

    This campground has 22 sites and 2 public use cabins. There’s bathrooms but no showers. Each campsite has a fire ring and picnic table and there are trails within walking distance of your campsite.

    We stayed during the off season so we ended up in the camp host site accidentally since it was one of the few that wasn’t still covered in snow. You definitely get some noise from Highway traffic but it’s not terrible. There’s a gas station right across the street for fuel and maybe some other last minute supplies you may need?

    Clean and organized

    Resort area is well organized. RV sites are well-priced, though you won’t get the views that the state sites in town have along the shore. Like many hook-up campgrounds, the RV sites are sterile-feeling (standard parking lot style). Okay if you plan to be out & about all day but not ideal for hanging out around the RV. Campfires only allowed off to the side in a picnic area.

    Bathrooms very clean and warm.

    Yurts would be my go-to if I were to come again or recommend to family. Fun experience. Fire pits nearby.

    Tent sites are really just a patch of grass between the row of Yurts and the playground/bathroom. You could find much more scenic spots not too far unless you’re just looking for a place to lay your head.

Guide to Moose Pass

Camping near Moose Pass, Alaska, offers a unique blend of stunning landscapes and outdoor adventures. Whether you’re looking to fish, hike, or just relax in nature, there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

What to do:

  • Fishing: The area is known for great fishing spots. One camper mentioned, “My family loved our weekend away at the Russian River Campground. It was super easy to make a reservation online, and our loop was a short walk to the boardwalk to get down to the river.”
  • Hiking: Explore the beautiful trails nearby. A reviewer at Exit Glacier Campground said, “The campground was having a problem with bears in the area, but the hiking trails were fantastic and the views were breathtaking.”
  • Wildlife Viewing: Keep an eye out for local wildlife. One visitor at Granite Creek noted, “Great place to spot mountain goats too.”

What campers like:

  • Scenic Views: Campers rave about the views. A review for Bird Creek Campground highlights, “This is a great little campground... The campsites are spacious, and the views are stunning.”
  • Convenience: Many appreciate the proximity to amenities. A camper at Seward City Campgrounds shared, “It’s close to the marina and easy walking distance to several shops.”
  • Quiet Atmosphere: Campers often mention the peacefulness of the sites. One reviewer at Trail River said, “The sites are fairly private. Quiet. Lots of families.”

What you should know:

  • Limited Services: Some campgrounds have limited amenities. A visitor at Miller's Landing pointed out, “Camping is nice with some charming location under trees or next to the bay. However, staff is not really friendly and some sites are not so great.”
  • Mosquitoes: Be prepared for bugs, especially in warmer months. A camper at Porcupine Campground warned, “The mosquitoes are big and hungry even late into the season.”
  • First-Come, First-Serve: Many campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. A reviewer at Williwaw Campground mentioned, “Always full each weekend of summer so get here early or better yet make a reservation.”

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Sizes: Make sure your RV fits the site. A reviewer at Granite Creek mentioned, “The sites are smaller and it was a challenge to fit our 30-foot camper in one of the biggest sites.”
