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.

Cell Service: yes Internet: Yes 3G 2020 Cost: $10-$20 Operates: April to October depending on snow clearance Distance from Anchorage: 58 miles Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 3
