Just find a spot big enough for your rig or tent and pull off. There are many regularly used sites that have rock fire rings already made."

Waterfront camping receives consistently high ratings from visitors, with many campgrounds situated along lakes, rivers, or coastal areas. Mendenhall Lake Campground offers views of the famous Mendenhall Glacier, while Seward City Campgrounds provides oceanside RV sites with proximity to boat excursions and restaurants. Several visitors mentioned wildlife viewing as a highlight of their camping experience. According to one review, "Bears frequent this area and sometimes wolves too. If you are looking for that wild Alaska experience you can have it here." Campgrounds near popular fishing areas like the Kenai River tend to fill quickly during salmon runs, when both anglers and bears are attracted to the waterways. Public lands throughout Alaska also support dispersed camping options for those seeking more solitude and a primitive outdoor experience.
