With 50 sites accessible via the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, Whitter Parking and Camping operates on a first-come, first-serve basis from April through October. The campground charges $10-20 per night depending on party size and offers basic amenities including restrooms, drinking water, and picnic tables. Some sites sit alongside the creek, providing the constant sound of glacier runoff just feet away.
The tunnel's one-way hourly schedule requires careful departure planning, as campers must time their exit with the scheduled openings. Sites can fill quickly due to limited tent camping alternatives in the area, and the location puts fishing opportunities and charter services within walking distance. Nearby City of Whittier Campground - Whittier Bay provides another option for campers seeking different amenities.
Description
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).
