Along the Tanana River east of Tok, this dispersed camping area functions primarily as a roadside rest stop rather than a developed campground. The site provides pit toilets, picnic tables, and trash service, with access requiring a short walk from the parking area. Big rigs can navigate the access road without difficulty.
One recent visitor clarifies that this location serves day-use purposes, noting the presence of picnic tables and restrooms but no designated camping facilities. The area sits roughly 10 miles northwest of Moon Lake State Recreational Site, which offers more traditional camping amenities. Travelers using this spot should plan accordingly, as it lacks the infrastructure typically associated with overnight camping areas.
