Haines River Camp

4 sites ¡ Tents6 acres ¡ Haines, AK
We have owned this property since 1996 and have found it to be a special healing place and have now decided to share it with other special people. It is approximately 6 acres on the Chilkat river, with about 1200 feet of river frontage. The Cathedral Peaks are directly across the river from the property, which has southern exposure and each campsite has sunset views. All the salmon species swim up the river. The subject property has nursery streams for the salmon. They do not spawn here, but the fry come from upstream spawning grounds to grow up a bit before heading out to the ocean. Swans nest in a nearby pond and sometimes play in the river out front. Evenings and nights are quite and peaceful

Overview

About

What would you do for a Klondike trip? Well if you are a history buff or rockhound, then probably a whole lot! Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park is your chance to relive a bygone era which bred a different kind of person. Thousands of wild, rugged, adventurous, and fearless people dropped everything and flocked to this corner of Alaska during the late 1800’s gold rush trying to get rich quick. Visit now and see the remnants of these boomtowns and take a guided tour of the historic sites. Then hit the trails to explore some wild Alaskan land. Bring the camera to capture picturesque spots like Smugglers Cove, where stopping for a picnic is a must do. Designated camping and backcountry wilderness camping is available so you can get away and reminisce about the days gone by from the comfort of your modern ultralight tent.

When to go

The best time to visit Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is most favorable for outdoor activities. Winter can be harsh and challenging, making some parts of the park less accessible.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's website for current conditions and alerts before your visit.
  • Remember to dress in layers, as the weather can change rapidly in Alaska.
  • Accessibility varies across the park, so inquire ahead if you have specific needs.
  • While exploring, keep a safe distance from any wildlife you encounter.
  • Plan your visit to include the park's ranger-led programs for an enriching experience.
