Fish Bush
Fun little campground with a nice boat launch. Beach is mainly 3” +\- rocks and the outhouses are some of the best retro I’ve seen in South Central AK. About 10 tent sites along the beach that are very easy to walk to on a well maintained/Paved path

I was at the lake several times over the last summer. I love this place. Storms can come up suddenly so make sure you don’t get caught on the lake if it starts to get bad. Absolutely stunning beauty.

12 to 15 RV sites, 12 walk in tent sites. Two pit toilets side by side in the RV camp area. Two pit toilets in parking lot of walk in tent sites.

Very quiet, clean. Beautiful lake with nice scenery. The dirt road in was about 8.5 miles and has some rough spots. Saw black and grizzly bears. Had a fire pit. I would stay here again.
Stanley Thronas
15 campsites, can be noisy when full. About 5 sites on lake. Cool bird rookery just offshore.

Would highly recommend to friends. Beautiful surroundings by the lake. Enjoyed it very much- camping spots were not too close together & camp host very friendly.

Clean bathrooms, quiet camping spots. Bring bug spray and bear spray.

As soon as we pulled up, there was a mama bear and her two cubs playing in the grass. Avoid the bathroom - it’s pretty nasty and best to go in the woods. The lake was stunning and plenty of hikes to check out. Get a boat tour if you can to explore nearby ranges.

Back Country. Few people. Seen Alaskan state trooper in a un marked Truck. Lots of Hiking and Boating. The Dragon Fly Size mosquito are no joke. Preparing for them is best not something you should get
