The camp is a mile or two back from the main Richardson highway. Gravel road to the sites. Site trees need to be trimmed up a bit to make it a bit brighter at the sites not to mention to see your surroundings. No hookups but very clean. If you want to feel that you are camping in the middle of Alaska woods this is the place. Be mindful of wildlife.

Great place to take out a raft after floating the Gulkana river. Nice ramp. Lots of trash receptacles. Lots of parking for vehicles with trailers.
