Historic Wharfsite at Sunrise AK

10 sites ¡ Tents10 acres ¡ Sunrise, AK
Learn more about this land: Sixmile Creek empties into Turnagain Arm next to this picturesque area. River rafting and fishing is nearby as well as the goldrush town of Hope just eight miles away. High tides twice a day can turn this into an island if they are over 29 feet. This property is about a half mile walk down a gold-rush era road to the wharf site of the gold rush town of Sunrise City. The buildings and tents of the approximately 10,000 miners who lived in this area are long gone. But the scenic views, peacefulness and quiet of this rugged area of south central Alaska are not soon forgotten. There are no paved trails or boardwalks. No crowds or hot dog vendors. Imagine fishing without crowds--catching pink and silver salmon or trout with awesome views of the Chugach National Forest. Don't expect amenities. This is camping outdoors in Alaska. There is a communal firepit with a portable firepit and grill that can be moved to whereever you set up your tent. Usually your group will be alone on your adventure here. There is nothing like this location anywhere else along Turnagain Arm.

Darell B.’s Magical Mountain

3 sites ¡ Lodging3 acres ¡ Anchorage, AK
Sleepy Bear cabin was built as a retreat for my father here in Alaska. Our 1st year listed on Hipcamp our cabin came in second in best places to stay in Alaska with Hipcamp. The last 2 years we were still mentioned in the top 10 with some pretty stiff competition. Eagle River South Fork trail with stunning views of Eagle and Symphony lakes is a short bike ride away. Breathtaking Barbara Falls is in our valley 10mins away. You hike up to the falls and feels its breath. Our Mountain views at 2000' elevation in the alpine forest with the 7000' snow covered peaks at the back of the valley will awe you. Morning coffee on your private deck alone is worth the trip. We know you will love our little mountain get away. I came to Alaska in the 90's with the Coast Guard. It was always my dream to come back. Alaska has a hold on you no other place possesses. Since our move back almost 6 years ago, our family has blossomed. We love living here and want to share our love of Alaska with others.

Overview

About

Boater’s paradise! Ziegler Cove State Marine Park is along waters of Prince William Sound, at the Northern side of Pigot Bay. The park is covered with second-growth forest, offering shelter and privacy to campers. There is protected anchorage at the cove, so bring along your boat. The icy waters of Prince William Sound are protected from the rough seas by islands, and bordered by mountains and glaciers. Yep, it gets pretty chilly, but the natural barriers provide calm waters perfect for kayaking. Head to the tiny town of Whittier to pick up some supplies, or take a break from roughing it with a hot meal at a restaurant in Anchorage. Don’t leave the park before capturing images of the stunning, icy green landscape. Share your best shots with us!
