Best Cabin Camping near Sutton, AK

Cabin accommodations near Sutton, Alaska range from rustic to modern with several options for overnight stays. Eklutna Lake Public Use Cabins in Chugach State Park provide electric hookups and allow pets, while the Tiny Trapper Cabin offers a more intimate setting with just two sites. Fox Run Lodge & RV Campground maintains cabins with year-round availability and full amenities. "Wonderful place to stop off and catch your breath. Pavillion with fire pit, two grills so you dont have to unpack yours, and hammocks to laze away the day," notes one visitor about the Anchorage N KOA Journey, which features cabin rentals with access to laundry facilities and showers.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Hatcher Pass Lodge offers cabin-only accommodations with drinking water and toilet facilities in a spectacular mountain setting. Toad Lake Bunkhouse provides a single cabin with electricity, showers, and drinking water in a private setting where "moose wander through the property," according to reviews. Most cabins require reservations, particularly during the May to September peak season. Pet policies vary by location, with many sites like Eagle River Campground and Eklutna Lake welcoming pets but requiring them to remain leashed.

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between properties—some offer electric hookups while others provide only fire rings and picnic tables. The Anchorage N KOA Journey includes propane availability on-site, and Fox Run Lodge maintains a small store for essential supplies. Firewood is available for purchase at many locations, including South Rolly Lake Campground where it sells for "$8 or 2 for $15" according to visitor reports. Locations like Eklutna Lake Campground include bear-proof food storage, an important consideration when planning cabin stays in Alaska.

    This is not a campground

    This is a cabin rental out in Willow. If you are looking at taking an Alaska trip or need a getaway with out having to pack all your gear this place in an option.

    Eagle River Campground — Chugach State Park

    Close to home camping

    Great spot close to our home of Anchorage for when we don't want to go too far. Large pavillion great for get-togethers right along the river and includes it's own bathroom. Semi-seclude sites give privacy with large open areas at your fire pits, great for groups. Some double sites perfect for camping with friends. Pet friendly just please keep the leashed and clean up after them. Watch for bear activity and make sure to keep all food and enticing items locked up.

    Anchorage N KOA Journey

    Great Family Park

    We booked a one night stay here as a trial run with our brand new travel trailer. Our daughter loved it so much that she begged to stay another night. Luck was on our side as there was a last minute cancellation and we were able to extend our stay 1 more night. The park had helpful and friendly staff, clean bathrooms, a nice laundry facility, and even a playground with a communal pavilion for people to gather round together. We would stay here again. There was a bit of road noise from the nearby highway but our family wasn't bothered at all by it as we are used to living on a base with lots of jet noise. Pet friendly and Wi-Fi is available and free! Propane, water fill, and dump station are available at this park.

    Eklutna Lake Campground — Chugach State Park

    No nonsense campground next to a beautiful lake and hiking trail.

    While there are pit toilets, bear lockers and water spigots, there's not much else besides a plot of land to put your tent, a fire ring and a picnic table. Which for me is plenty! If you get there at the right time, there are a few sites with a view of the lake thru the trees. Requires a very short hike to get lakeside but the view is worth it. With access to several hiking trails, including the beautiful Eklutna Lakeside trail, bike and kayak rentals across the parking lot, and multiple geocaches, you just can't go wrong.

    Eklutna Lake Campground — Chugach State Park

    Epic Campground

    This campground really has everything when it comes to a state campground. You want water access on a glacial lake? How about numerous hiking, biking skiing and horse trails? Are you looking for updated amenities including a table and fire pit, onsite bathrooms, bear proof dumpster, bear proof food storage, and a well for fresh water (no showers though) and even kayak rentals on site? Do you need large campsites with a reasonable amount of privacy instead of setting up your tent on top of someone else's? Eklutna is the spot. It is technically located within the Municipality of Anchorage about 30 minutes from down town. There is no cell service out there, so you can say goodbye to the rest of the world on your way up the mountain road. In addition, there are forest service cabins for rent that are located down one of the major trails, for even more privacy, and a different kind of adventure. Just a mile from the campground is a cute little ice cream shop for a sweet treat on hot summer days.

    Eklutna Lake Campground — Chugach State Park

    Pristine

    Pristine campground. There are lovely wooded campsites nestled between several beautiful mountains. Bathrooms close, with showers, laundry, and ice cream down the road a little ways. There’s bike and kayak rentals. There is also 4 different public use cabins along the hiking trail you can reserve, and one with wheelchair access (I’ve heard.) there are opportunities for several different hikes along the main trail.
