Pinochle Trail Campground

9 sites ¡ RVs, Tents2 acres ¡ Sutton Alpine, AK
Flat, gravel spaces at Pinochle Trailhead in Glacier View, Alaska. Great hiking, biking, ATV or snow machine on historic trail. Tents, trucks, cars, campers, RVs, dogsleds .... whatever you can fit is welcome. 8 spaces with tables and fire rings. There is also an "Open Camping Area" in back that larger groups may like. Although a number may be assigned at booking, just pick the best available camp space that works for you on arrivial. You'll need to bring your own water and keep a clean camp. Pinochle Trail goes north into the backcountry for around 12 miles and joins other trails. Pinochle trail is a section of the ancient Knik - Nelchina Trail used by natives, trappers, miners and hunters for eons. It traverses the natural route from the Matanuska Valley up and over the mountain range into Copper River country. Hicks was one of the early guides who had a cabin at Hicks Creek and served with U.S. Army Lieutenant Joseph Castner to brushwack a trail northwest for Captain Glenn in 1898. Described in his journal as at "Tale of Hardship and Suffering" they ended up eating their mules and shoes before reaching their goal far to the north. Today we use these trails with relative ease compared to the old timers but the scenery and mud holes remind us of what they went through.

Dog-friendly camping in Alaska guide

Overview

Whether you're hopping between rugged beaches and dramatic viewpoints along the Glacier Highway, tackling an epic mountain hike in Denali National Park & Preserve, or escaping to the backcountry in Wrangell-St Elias National Park—Alaska is brimming with outdoor adventures. Four-legged campers are welcome to tag along, and many Alaska national parks and state parks allow pets at campgrounds and recreation areas. Hitting the trail with your dog is possible, but with bears, wolves, and other wildlife around every corner, it's imperative to keep your pooch leashed at all times. Check into a pet-friendly campground or RV park near Juneau, Fairbanks, or Homer; make the most of the off-leash areas at Caines Head State Recreation Area; or bring your fishing tackle, paddleboard, and dog to the lakeside campground at Bear Lake.
