Summary
Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings, pit toilets, and hand-pumped water. RVs are welcome, but there are no hookups; sites are first-come, first-served—no reservations or permits needed. There is a small nightly fee. The campground provides a quiet, scenic base for fishing, wildlife viewing, and exploring nearby trails or the dramatic Matanuska Glacier. Best visited from late May to early September, the area offers a peaceful, rustic camping experience beneath the towering King Mountain.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
