For a fee of $15 per night, you have access to basic amenities such as flush toilets, water, picnic tables, and a dump station. Although the amenities are not first class, the views and surrounding wildlife more than make up for it.
Chilkoot Lake State Recreation Site
This 80-site campground is located within the Chilkoot State Park, and rests at the outlet of the Chilkoot Lake into the Chilkoot River. Because of its location, from June until October this campground offers some of the best salmon fishing in Alaska. With the large amount of salmon also come large amounts of bears; so be sure to brush up on your bear behavior before booking a stay here.

Kachemak Bay State Park
Holding the record for being the first state park in Alaska the Kachecmak Bay State Park is also the only wilderness park in the state. Home to many marine life creatures, visitors can often observe otters, seals, and whales, as well as land animals like moose, bears, and wolves. Camping is allowed in most areas of the state park, and although there is not a strict campground location, there are areas with fireplaces, outhouses, tent platforms, and information set up throughout the area.
Cabins are available for rent in several locations of the park as well, and come equipped with quite a few amenities at prices ranging from $50-$65 nightly. With its roving wildlife and beautiful land this state park’s camping locations offer campers opportunities for hiking, fishing, and boating.
Alaska is a mysterious land that has been largely untouched in this modern world. While staying at Alaska’s campgrounds within state parks you get to experience the best that this beautiful area has to offer, at a reasonable price, and in a convenient location.
