Operated by the military on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Upper Otter Lake Campground sits on a designated loon sanctuary in Fort Richardson, Alaska. Access requires base credentials. RV sites face the lake directly, and tent sites, RV spots, and cabins each come with a firepit, picnic table, and access to shared floating docks. A boathouse on-site rents paddle boats and kayaks. Waterfowl are common; moose and bear have also been reported. The nearby Otter Lake campground and Black Spruce RV Park provide alternatives for those without base access. This campground works best for military-affiliated campers who want direct lake access and wildlife in an Alaska setting.
Description
Otter Lake has 17 no hook up RV spaces and 7 tent spaces. The listed info above is not correct. The RV spaces are about three times larger than most RV sites and the space between each site is huge. Even if the park was full each RVer would have tons of room.
