!Description of image
After getting flooded out year after year at our camps by the bridge, we secured a permanent home in Chitina in 2019. We have since been developing our campground and currently offer 12 sites for either a tent or RV. We also offer 4 premium outfitted tent sites for those who don't want the hassle of packing and setting up their own equipment. Camp is within walking distance to our food truck (The Grubstake), country store and Uncle Tom's tavern. Our camp is ideally situated for fishing the Copper and as a base for travels down the McCarthy Road to Kennicott and McCarthy inside Wrangell-St Elias National Park!
Each RV/Tent site is equipped with the following amenities:
Wi-Fi 15amp Power Water Charcoal Grill Fire Pit Picnic Table
