The roads inside the campground were worse than four-wheel drive roads we were there for almost 4 days and the holes were never filled in. If you stay there make sure you have good suspension.

The glamp site was amazing - the bed was super cozy and warm. The amenities in the office were really nice - washer/dryer, bathrooms, showers, coffee, information, and games. We spent a week here and can't picture visiting Juneau any other way. There were campfire and cooking facilities right by the glamp site. Everything was peaceful, beautiful, comfy, and just perfect!

I stayed in the tiny home tenakee and loved everything about it! Very cozy and clean, and the campground was very nice and a great location. I would definitely stay there again!

My gf and I stayed at one of the tiny homes on the grounds and it exceeded expectations! The home is tastefully furnished, functional, and had everything we needed. It was a perfect place to recharge between hikes and adventuring. 10/10.

Wow, the Tenakee tiny home is so lovely! We had the most peaceful weekend there - it was such a beautiful and cozy space to stay amongst the lush rainforest campground. The campground team, Jean, Onnalee, and Becky were so welcoming when we arrived. Then, the home far exceeded our expectations—even the bed was so comfortable! We will definitely be recommending this spot to all Juneau adventurers. Thank you, Glacier Nalu!
