This was not the most well thought out campground I've been to. Fire rings 5ft away from tent bases (tents and sparks dont mix) maps in the wrong orientation, most sites are TINY campsites you can barely fit a vehicle into let alone a tent. Only the walk in sites have access to the lake... I thought this was a lake campground? BUGS BUGS BUGS and more BUGS. Fishing is tomorrow (since there's no access from camp). Which also means I have to pack everything up, and drive 3/4 of a mile down to the boat launch... Fishing was a bust. Tons of fish down at the south end but no bites. Went to the north end as well, but no action. Checked this spot off the always wanted to try list, but I don't think we'll be back.

Nice quiet campground. Sites are pretty level, no water yet but that wasn't a big deal for us. It is available nearby. Pit toilets are clean and stocked. Would stay again.

Great place to hang out for a few days. Cheap enough and you can dump your RV if you pay to stay. The water still wasn't fixed but you can go 30 miles to another campground and get water if you need it. You are in the woods by the water in Alaska so expect mosquitos by the millions.

Clean bathrooms, ATT coverage decent. The spot we were in was on a hill and very difficult to get it level. Was not very busy while we were there with campers, but there was a lot of trucks pulling empty boat trailers around.

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.

LOVED this campground. Yes, the bugs are bad. You can see that when you pull in and you have the decision to leave if you don’t like it! The lake access they have is beautiful and peaceful. The campground host was sweet and helpful to us. I think this is a perfect place to spend the night when you’re in the middle of nowhere. And the bathrooms were super clean!
