About this campground

Galbraith Lake - Dalton Hwy

Galbraith Lake Campground, off the Dalton Highway in Alaska’s Arctic region, offers free, first-come, first-served primitive camping with both established campsites and dispersed options. No reservations or permits are needed. Amenities are minimal: vault toilets available, but no potable water, fire rings, or picnic tables. RVs can access the area, but there are no hookups. Set in a stark, stunning tundra landscape near the Brooks Range, the scenery is wide-open alpine with views of Galbraith Lake and dramatic mountain backdrops. Great for solitude, wildlife viewing, and accessing the nearby Atigun Pass and Gates of the Arctic. Best visited June–August when roads are passable and weather is milder.
