Settler's Cove Public Use Cabin — Settler's Cove State Recreation Site

Kayakers and hikers gain direct access to Ketchikan's coastal recreation from this state-managed cabin site. The forested location provides electric, water, and sewer hookups for RVs, along with standard campfire rings and picnic tables. Access requires navigating rough roads to reach the drive-in site.

The facility sits within Alaska's state recreation system and allows pets throughout the grounds. Campers can explore hiking trails that branch from the immediate area or launch kayaks into nearby waters. Swimming opportunities exist for those prepared for Alaska's coastal temperatures. At $60 per night, reservations help secure this full-hookup spot that serves as a base for campgrounds around Ward Cove exploration.
