Several visitors mentioned the importance of being prepared for Alaska's unique camping conditions. One camper noted, "This is a great, smaller campground to choose when the popular nearby spots fill up with anglers," highlighting the value of having backup options during peak fishing seasons when many campgrounds reach capacity.
