A visitor commented, "Once the salmon start running you can walk on the man made walkway next to the creek and watch bears catch salmon to feed their cubs! Truly an amazing experience!"

Many campgrounds feature well-maintained facilities, though amenities vary widely between developed and primitive sites. The region's campgrounds serve as excellent bases for exploring nearby hiking trails, fishing spots, and wildlife viewing areas, with several reviewers noting the convenience of campgrounds located near popular attractions like Exit Glacier and the Alaska Sea Life Center.
