    Buskin River State Rec Area

    Camping with the Bears

    I can't believe town is so close. You feel like you are miles from no where especially when a 9 foot brown bear walks into your camp site. Close to world famous Salmon fishing and close to the city of Kodiak.

    I stayed here on a fishing trip and loved how close to the fishing I was. The campground is steps away from world class salmon fishing. Please make sure not to keep food in your tent because yes it is BEAR COUNTRY. As you can see from my pictures I saw lots of bears and lots of eagles. The fishing is amazing.

    Pasagshak State Recreation Site

    Beautiful yet primitive campground

    The view of the bay here is beautiful, but come prepared beforehand as the only convenience here is outhouses. Theses may not be open in the fall or winter because people usually only camp here in the summer.
