About

Whittier Parking and Camping offers supervised vehicle and vessel trailer parking and a separate campground facility in the heart of Whittier, Alaska. Our friendly staff monitors operations during extended business hours, 7-days per week, during spring, summer and fall--usually from mid-April to late October. We are found across the railroad tracks along Whittier Street, a short walk south of the local small boat harbor, private marina, cruise dock and day-cruise facilities.

    Parking and camping operations are available at reasonable rates to support visitors who recreate in Western Prince William Sound during the six-month summer season.   We accept cash, checks and most major credit cards (Visa, Discover and Master Card).

Serves a purpose

Very basic and full of mosquitos in July especially if you're tucked in close to the foliage. But this is a great place to stay if you're chartering from Whittier. Everything is within walking distance and there are some great hikes and fishing too.

It's just not pretty. Very muddy if it's raining too. It is quiet except for the white noise of the glacier run off just feet from the sites.

If you are in a tent camping stay here

This campground features 50 camping sites some are along the creek side. Make sure you plan ahead since the tunnel runs one way once an hour. Check your departures times. The tunnel is always a fun trip.

The cost is good at $20 an RV and $10-$20 for a car and tent depending on the number of people in the party. With level spots and little other tent camping choices these spots can fill up. There are no reservations and sites are first come first serve. There is plenty to do in Whitter, the drive, the tunnel, and the price make this a great option to stay.

Always plan for rain.

Directions

When arriving in town, turn right across the railroad tracks off the main access road from the Whittier Tunnel (after passing the cruise dock), then right again on the driveway to the parking lot. The campground is located further south on Parkside Road, extending to Glacier Avenue, as noted in the map, with many sites along Whittier Creek with views of the nearby mountains and wilderness.
