Fantastic views, huge slots (many are pull through), clean/well kept, and certain slots you can get 3g internet. Easy to drop boat in…

Stayed here prior to floating the Gulkana. Lots of spots. Nice volunteer hosts. Easy launching at the lake.

Probably the last best campground in the interior of Alaska. For some reason it is still funded and maintained. We had a great time.
