Overview
<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>
About the campground
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.
Seasons & access
Open May 1 through September 30.
RV information
The parking aprons are gravel.
