<p>Near a scenic beach, the campground was once a village site for the Auk Tlingit Natives. There are 11 camping sites and each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring; most meet accessibility standards. There are water faucets and one accessible vault toilet in the campground. It is 15 miles Northwest of Juneau on Glacier Highway.</p>
The elevation is 45 ft. The campground has two overlapping loops on Auke Bay in a stand of hemlock and Sitka spruce. The small parking aprons discourage large motorhomes and travel trailers and give the campground a pleasant tent campground feel. Located on Auke Bay, which flows into Lynne Channel, which flows eventually to the Gulf of Alaska, the campground can serve as a resting point for sea kayakers. The dense vegetation provides only limited views of Auke Bay. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
Open May 1 through September 30.
The parking aprons are gravel.
NOTE: Access to most campgrounds in the Tongass National Forest is initially by plane or boat. These directions assume access is by ferry, specifically via either the Alaska Marine Highway System or Inter-Island Ferry Authority. For a price, any size RV can be transported by the ferry systems. From the Alaska Marine Hwy. ferry terminal in Juneau, AK, turn left onto Glacier Hwy. and go 0.8 miles to campground sign. Turn left after sign and go 0.9 miles to another campground sign. Bear left at sign into campground.

Summer offers the best combination of accessible services, long daylight, and peak outdoor activity—expect daytime highs typically between about 50–65°F (10–18°C) with frequent coastal showers that keep the forest lush. This is prime time for hiking, boating, ferry connections from Auke Bay, fishing, and whale/humpback viewing; salmon runs and abundant wildlife make shoreline and glacier trips especially rewarding. Crowds are highest in July and early August but the campground’s intimate size, a Peak months: July, August, June, September Avoid: October, November, December, January
Open May–Sep; summer gives best access, services and peak wildlife viewing despite crowds.
