Absolutely beautiful and secluded campgrounds by the lake

We just stayed here one night, But they were beautiful wooded campgrounds right next to the lake. We were there during a weekday and there was only one other camper at the campground so it felt very secluded.

Great campground fills up fast

It is a bumpy road to get to this campground. Skilak road is spotty on maintenance. The decimation from the swan lake fire is still very apparent.

If you can find a spot take it.

Road out here is not well maintained

This is a great campground but you have to go slow in an RV. There are two sides of the road you can come from and either is rough. I highly recommend walking around the lake. It is huge and beautiful and plenty to do if you have watercraft of any kind.
