    Moser Island Cabin

    Love this place! True Alaskan experience

    I've stayed at this cabin twice and absolutely love going here. It is perfect place to camp with the family or make it a boys trip. Easiest way to get to the cabin is from Sitka, takes little under 2 hours by boat. Near the cabin, there is great crabbing across the bay and decent shrimping within a 10 minute boat ride. There is one mooring buoy to tie up to so bring a raft to get to shore. Outside the cabin, there is a couple benches around the fire pit and a rope swing. There is some pre-cut wood alongside the cabin, otherwise you can always scavenge for more wood. I would bring an ax. There is also a tire swing next to the fire pit. Inside the cabin, it is small but easily slept all of us (5 guys). Bring all your own camping gear. There is also a little wood stove inside the cabin to help warm it up at night. Only warning, be on the lookout for bears, there was multiple signs of them so don't leave anything outside

    Allan Point Cabin

    Wonderful getaway!

    This is a very secluded cabin, accessible by boat or float plane and only a few miles from Sitka, AK. Located on the inside waters so it typically is very calm. There is really great crabbing and fishing near by. The cabin itself is spacious, but bring all your own gear including diesel fuel for the for the heater. Great cabin to stay in for the true Alaskan experience

    Starrigavan Creek Cabin

    Easy access rustic cabin

    This is a great little cabin to get away from town for a couple days, without being too far away. Locals use it for birthday parties and company retreats. Best to reserve well in advance, especially during the summer and the weekends.

    The cabin is located within Starrigavan Creek Campground, which is within walking distance of the Forest & Muskeg trail, Estuary Loop trail, Mosquito Cove trail, Old Sitka, Old Sitka boat launch, and the shooting range. It’s just a few feet further to the ferry terminal.

    The cabin has a view of the creek, and wildlife abounds. You will see ravens and bald eagles, and you could see bears. Bird watchers love the Estuary Loop trail and its bird watching station. There is an onsite outdoor bear proof food locker, a fire ring, and a picnic table. The cabin is large and comfortable even in bad weather. Pit toilets and potable water are just across the gravel road, and there’s an artesian well a short walk away.

    Starrigavan Campsites

    Best campground in Sitka

    This is our hometown campground and we love it. It’s just a few miles from town, and within walking distance from the ferry terminal. Cell service is limited, so you can feel like you’re away from it all but still go in to work in the morning, or pick up some extra supplies.

    Our favorite sites are the three “walk in” sites on the ocean side. We love to have birthday parties with a couple other families out there. The walk isn’t far at all, but the bathroom is just a bit further.

    Our next favorite sites are the hike-in sites in the estuary side. These are a bit longer walk, but there’s a great little shared shelter with picnic tables, and the sites are so pretty and rustic feeling. There’s lots of trees but plenty of level sites, and they aren’t used much. Only bummer is that a new road is being built just behind this area, it’s hard to tell how disruptive that will be.

    Regular drive in sites are fine, there are a couple pull-through but most are pull-in. Each site has a fire ring and a picnic table, and they’re all pretty good and a short walk to water and pit toilets. There are also a couple of group sites with shelters that are great for bad weather camping.

    The campground is within walking distance of several nice, short trails, Old Sitka historical site & boat launch, and the shooting range and ATV trails. It’s pretty quiet and there is lots of wildlife- you have to keep your food abc other smelly things locked in your car or in the bear proof food lockers. You’ll definitely see bald eagles, and please don’t feed the ravens. Pink salmon run up the creek in August, you can catch them at the mouth.
