Best Dispersed Camping near Whittier, AK

A 5 mile paddle from Whittier, AK. Watch the weather waves can build up quickly. A number of tent platforms, 2 toilets and a few bear proof boxes. From this camp ground it is time to "decide" which way you want to go as the sound really opens up to you. There is fresh water but boil or filter it first. I think I must have camped here at least 30 or 40 times, most of it before tent platforms, toilets or bear containers. I've camped here May June July August

Moose Pass Trailhead

As with most BLM trailheads, zut services. Big area, some shaded mostly unshaded but big enough to have your own space

Seaplanes take off from lake during the day - pretty awesome

No onsite services. Seward offers free dump and potable water - near their RV parks

Starlink, Visible/Verizon and Cricket/Att all good

The road after the sign is rough and a good 4 X 4 or ATV is recommended. This 7-mile hiking trail will take you to Lost Lake. After a 2-mile incline hike the trail opens up and levels off half way in.

The Forest service recommends that you camp on Lost Lake at designated campsites. This is bear country and some of the camp sites have bear boxes. There are also pit toilets but always pack your own TP. The Forest service ask that backpackers are strongly encouraged not to camp on the Lost Lake peninsulas so that tundra can grow back a reminder that FIRES ARE PROHIBITED in alpine areas.

Cell Service: at sign Internet: no 2020 Cost: free Distance from Anchorage: 110 miles Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 4-8 depends on weather

We happened across this spot when taking a wrong turn. We loved it! Beach access through a short trail so we were able to explore and not a lot of road noise.

Saw two seaplanes take off from the lake (take the Southern spot for this).

Hwy is loud but manageable, train as well.

Recommendable overnight position on the way to SEWARD.
