Jack Bay Cabin is located at the east end of Jack Bay in the Chugach National Forest. Visitors to the cabin will find many opportunities for recreation and relaxation in the vicinity. Access to the site is by float plane or boat only. The flight is typically 15 minutes from Valdez or 30 minutes from Cordova. It is 20 miles from Valdez by boat and 70 miles from Cordova. Tides affect access to this cabin, so it is important to check local tide information. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Anglers will find good pink salmon fishing steps away from the cabin's front door. Coho fishing is good later in the year in nearby creeks. Razor clams, eel and crabs can be found while beachcombing at low tide. Boating is the most efficient way to explore Jack Bay. Otherwise, viewing harbor seals and sea otters from the front deck is a fantastic pastime. Hunters can take advantage of a long hunting season in the surrounding national forest. Bear season occurs during spring and fall, while deer season begins in late summer and lasts through late fall.
Jack Bay is located southeast of the Valdez Narrows, hemmed in by steep mountains. The cabin sits at the edge of a grassy clearing overlooking the bay. A thick temperate rainforest of spruce and hemlock backs up to the cabin, with an understory of shrubs, fern and moss-covered logs. From mountains rising from shoreline, waterfalls surge from ice fields and glaciers. Wildlife in the area abounds, including Sitka black-tailed deer, mountain goat and brown bear (learn more about bear safety).
Jack Bay State Marine Park is located 15 miles from Valdez, southeast of the Valdez Narrows. The uplands of the park consist of alder, muskeg, salt marsh and old-growth forest of spruce and hemlock. The northern arm of Jack Bay within the marine park becomes shallow a quarter-mile out and caution is recommended. Although the bay can be used as a fair weather anchorage, it is not protected. Access to the area is by boat.

Power Creek Cabin, in the Chugach National Forest, is located 4.2 miles from Power Creek Trailhead, which is located approximately 6.9 miles north of Cordova, Alaska on the Power Creek road. The trail provides scenic terrain for hikers. Access to the cabin is by hiking only. It is a 4.2-mile hike along Power Creek Trail. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Power Creek Valley is a great spot for hikers. Both Power Creek Trail and Crater Lake Trail begin just outside Cordova and can be hiked separately, or as part of a 12.5-mile loop. The trail meanders through spruce-hemlock forests, traverses a difficult exposed ridge and treats hikers to scenic views of Orca Inlet, Eyak Lake and the Delta. Time spent at Crater Lake is worth the effort. From Cordova, mountain bikers will find a relatively flat ride that follows the northern shore of Eyak Lake, then parallels the creek through a rainforest setting past several waterfalls, heading toward the coastal Chugach Mountain Range. The southern exposure of the mountains and the amount of wildlife on the trail makes it a fantastic ride. During the summer and fall when there are salmon in the lake and creek, it is a popular bear feeding area. Hunters can take advantage of a long hunting season in the surrounding national forest. Bear season occurs during spring and fall, while deer season begins in late summer and lasts through late fall. There isn't much fishing in the cabin's vicinity, however some small Dolly Varden can be found in the stream near the cabin.
Dense forests, glacier-fed streams, valleys and rocky peaks define the landscape around the cabin, providing habitat for an abundance of wildlife. At an elevation of 500 feet, Power Creek Cabin is nestled in a spruce-hemlock forest above Power Creek Valley, where visitors can view wildflowers and wildlife. Steep mountains rise from the valley floor. Mountain goats, brown bear, black bear, moose and waterfowl are all found in the area. The closest town to Power Creek Cabin is Cordova. Located at the base of glacier-capped peaks and facing Prince William Sound, Cordova is a commercial fishing community, home to the world famous Copper River Wild Salmon. The town is a treasure, steeped with natural features and cultural history.

Double Bay Cabin offers guests a remote lodging experience in the Chugach National Forest. Situated on the east side of Double Bay on Hinchinbrook Island, the cabin offers guests year-round recreation and relaxation. Fishing, hunting, kayaking and wildlife viewing are available within the area. Access to the cabin is by float plane (20 minutes from Cordova) or boat (35 miles from Cordova) at high tide. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Anglers will find several creeks flowing into the bay. In mid-July, pink and chum salmon enter the bay to spawn in the creeks, with the coho salmon arriving in mid-August. Halibut can be found in the saltwater near the mouth of the bay and in the Sound. Although these creeks can be accessed from shore, the hike can be difficult at high tide when the creeks are flooded and deep, or at low tide when the mud flats are exposed (local tide tables). It is best to bring a small inflatable boat and motor to get around the bay to the creeks, and to fish the bay at low tide. Hunters can take advantage of a long hunting season on the island and in the surrounding national forest. Bear season occurs during spring and fall, while deer season begins in late summer and lasts through late fall.
Hinchinbrook Island is in the Gulf of Alaska at the entrance to Prince William Sound. The Double Bay cabin is located on a narrow peninsula with Double Bay on one side and Prince William Sound on the other. It sits near a tidal lagoon that transitions to low, rolling hillsides defined by muskeg and a patchy forest of mature spruce and hemlock. Wildlife in the area abounds, including migratory waterfowl, Sitka black-tailed deer and brown bear (learn more about bear safety). The beaches on the Prince William Sound shoreline offer views of the Sound and the surrounding mountains. Occasionally, humpback and killer whales can be seen spouting offshore.
Located on the southwest end of Hinchinbrook Island, Cape Hinchinbrook Lighthouse is a fantastic historical site that has proved invaluable at directing vessels to and from Prince William Sound. Though no longer used as a primary navigational aid, the beacon still serves as a reassuring presence along the rugged Alaskan coast.

The price of $44 for a non-hookup tent site had us apprehensive at first, but after one night at a not so great site down the road we decided to give it a try and we were overall impressed. The campground WiFi was top notch, the showers were free with your stay and were clean with hot water, there’s laundry on site (takes quarters, $3 for wash, 2 for dry). Overall a very pleasant stay.
GuideValdez KOA has super friendly staff and they’ve gone above and beyond to make accommodations for our party which includes an rv family and a cabin family. Very pretty spot with some space to walk the dogs and a fantastic bike/walking trail (also very helpful with walking dogs). We’ve seen plenty of bears (black mostly and one grizzly on a hike). You do need a car to get to Valdez or to some of the waterfalls/hiking as the campground is about 8 miles outside of town.
ScoutWe were there two days the end of May 2021. We had reservations and arrived after hours. We had an issue connecting properly to the water. I alerted management(Lori) via text. She responded with urgency and quickly solved the issue and compensated us for our trouble. Quite frankly, I was taken aback by how concerned she was with making sure we left feeling great about our stay there. Oh, and the bathrooms and showers are CLEAN! Thanks so much, Lori and KOA staff.

From a previous scouting trip my parents stayed here one night and LOVED it. We recommend that they stay in a parking lot area after our Bugpocalypse a few weeks prior. They reported no bugs here. The spot was reserved it in advance and the reservation requests the side the RVs slides are on. You are greeted by a golf cart on arrival they show you to your spot and directed you in so that they would have no issues using their slides. The views of Valdez are amazing no matter where you go. There is a tent area in the center and this park is close to everything. These are full hook ups and if you remember a cable you can get cable TV too. There is a huge area to walk your furry travel buddies as well. If you are staying Valdez this is an excellent choice. Cell Service: Yes Internet: Yes 2020 Cost: $41-$61 RVs Distance from Anchorage: 308 miles Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 1
TravelerGreat campground and will be going back the next time I am in Valdez. Buildings are kept very clean and supplies always filled. Stayed at a tent site and enjoyed being able to set up under the trees. Not a lot of noise at the site even when the kids were playing on the playground. Also an area for dogs to run around is nice.
LegendRemember there are two seasons in Alaska. Winter and construction. Plan for extra travel time.
Amazing views. Better than the parking lot RV parks in town. Well maintained and centrally located. If you are looking for hook ups this is the place to go. Camp in the wilderness but still get your emails.
So close to so many side trips. Bridal falls, Robe lake, Solomon Gulch hatchery, and so many others.
LegendThis is a parking lot and the spots are tight. However the city is set in such a beautiful place it’s hard to complain.
Close to all the amenities you could want. Make sure to enjoy the waterfalls on the way in.
LegendWith cabins, tent sites, Rv sites this KOA has it all. There is a playground for the human kiddos and even another for the fur babies in your life. Store on site, firewood for purchase and dump. Sites along the paved bike trail but a bit outside downtown for riding in for us out of shapers. Sites 38-44 our favorites for privacy and trees and across from a small pond. There are sites of all variety for hookups but a nice campground all around.
LegendAfter checking out all the campgrounds for RV's in Valdez this would be ranked as #3 for us. Tight spots, awning to awning, make it lack privacy and being a large gravel area has it lacking in charm. There are full hookups and ut backs up against the gas station and grocery store so convenient in that way. All the RV campgrounds in town are within walking distance to the docks so choose wisely.
TravelerWe only planned on staying here a few days but ended up staying a week. They have full hook up sites. Walking distance to town and grocery store . They were very friendly and clean & safe camping. They keep the bears out and provide free coffee .
TravelerGreat place to stay and fish! Waterfalls, bears, sea lions, kayaking, Visitors Center and Hatchery Tour. Valdez, Ak
LegendThis campground was exactly what we were looking for. It is conveniently located in town within walking distance of the grocery stores, restaurants, and harbor. Surrounded by gorgeous mountains you will wake up with beautiful views of the sunrise over the mountains. There were not many campers here when we stayed, but I think this place fills up during the tourist season and fishing season. There is also a station to clean the fish you caught. Showers are available as part of the expenses. We opted for tent camping in the green in the middle of the rv park, but they also have cabins for rent and hookups for rvs.
