Remote 350 square foot cabin with Jotul woodstove and loft, with a review of Warm Springs Bay.
The cabin is a quarter mile from the forest warm springs, and 100 yards down the boardwalk from the baths. Fully equipped with bathroom and cold water, a kayak, fishing rods, a generator and solar. There is a covered deck we use as a kitchen. Please be advised: access only by hiking, floatplane, or boat. Propane lights give heat and illumination. Great fishing for salmon in bay and cutthroat in lake. This is about as remote as it gets! There are no stores, no gas, and brown bears are a concern. Welcome to the most beautiful place on earth.

Baranof warm springs is a treat. It’s a special little boardwalk escape. The falls are loud and powerful. The natural springs are stunning and all the visitors we interacted with were lovely. We want to come back again. The cabin was the perfect little spot to relax, read a book, have coffee and enjoy.

The property is beautiful! It's convenient location and attention to detail makes this place a great stay. Jessica is super kind and has amazing attention to detail with the decor, beauty, and great flow of the property she designed for guests! We were able to take our dog there with lots of space to enjoy walks in a gorgeous woods setting right on the lake! The amenities are off the charts, the sites are spacious and private and we really enjoyed our short stay! We checked in late and left early and it was easy to use the app. She even has a la carte options like a propane fireplace, sauna, hot tub and kayaks available to all guests....absolutely incredible, highly recommend and we will stay again!

Beautiful campground! Large lots with picnic tables with umbrella, large community fire pit, super clean restrooms & shower areas. We did a hot tub and a sauna add on - both were great, but I would especially recommend the hot tub! We also enjoyed kayaking on the lake! Everything was perfectly thought out and the host was so friendly and helpful.. We would definitely rent here again.

We had such a fantastic time here! The hot tub and sauna, along with the outdoor showers, were so nice after traveling. The campground is well laid out and felt safe, and the spots were relatively private. We really wish we had had time to take advantage of the kayaks at the lake! It was very picturesque though.
I also really appreciated the well stocked common area with some items for sale. Jessica and her family were also super nice and helpful! They had great recommendations.

We camped during the late summer in our sprinter van. They don’t have electric yet but they will very soon. It’s a lovely place tucked away but close enough to town. They have truly put love, blood sweat and tears into making this a lovely place to stay. Jessica is a charming host! They have some beautiful and even hilly hiking trails right around the place that could keep you busy for a while. The kayaks are fun paddle to around the lake. The hot tub was such a lovely bonus addition. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Tough to give the description as needed without pictures and the feel of a fresh warm breeze coupled with the constant sound of one of the most impressive water falls in SE AK.. The cabin is small but efficient. Easily accessible from the float dock. The hot springs surpassed our expectations and were the best we have experienced in SE and we have enjoyed most all of them!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this campground with our RV. We felt safe and enjoyed plenty of privacy. Although it’s a newer campground and not all amenities (power/water) were yet available, we still had a fantastic time kayaking on the lake and truly appreciated the warm hospitality of our host.

The RV sites were spacious, unlike most private RV camps in Alaska, which is a very nice thing. They include a picnic table with umbrella. In the near future there will be 50/30/20 amp service, also unusual for a Hipcamp. An outhouse and outdoor shower are nearby, along with a communal fire pit with comfy chairs surrounding it. A short walk away is the clubhouse with flush toilet and shower. All kinds of reasonably priced items (smores, coffee, coffee mugs, ball caps, etc.) are for sale in the clubhouse. For an additional fee, time in a sauna or a hot tub is available. The property is a adjacent to a small lake, and the camp includes free use of a rowboat, canoe or kayaks to paddle around the lake. All in all quite a beautiful place. There may be some road noise, but it didn't bother us.

This is a lovely campground not far from town. Jessica is a wonderful host and you can see the work that is going into making the property even better. The sites are a good size with gas fire pits. The lake is lovely for a paddle and a swim and the extra little bits like the hot tub, sauna and club house make it a great stay.

Brendan’s place is absolutely wonderful. I loved being able to walk to the springs then come back to the cabin and start a cozy fire on the wood stove. I felt very much at peace and at home here. He has a great little selection of books in the cabin, and a nice spot on the deck that overlooks the harbor. I didn’t want to leave and hope to be back again. Thank you Brendan!

Don't miss this sweet little retreat in Talkeetna Alaska. A family owned and operated business, it is tucked in the trees beside a lake surrounded by the beauty of Alaskan nature. We appreciated all the little touches and ammendeties such as an outside toilet, showers, changing rooms and wash up station that made our stay easy and enjoyable. As campers with a little teardrop trailer, we spent a large part of our time outdoors and loved the umbrella topped picnic table and propane operated fire pit that were great in sun and rain. The hosts were more than gracious and gave us great support as needed. This little gem is a great place for individuals and families with plenty of little areas to relax in comfy chairs, kayak while listening to the loons on the lake, or take off for a jaunt to the nearby town of Talkeetna. There is a grocery store and gas station less than a mile away which was so convenient. Probably our favorite amendity was the hot tub where we relaxed while overlooking the lake. Though we did not use the sauna, it was great to know it was there especially when the weather turned nippy.

I absolutely loved it here! Thank you Brendan for listing your cabin on hipcamp. The Dasha cabin is in a perfect location for a visit to the springs - you can easily walk to the tubs or springs from the connected boardwalk. I really enjoyed soaking in the tub then coming “home” to a warm fire. The cabin smelled like cedar, something that brings a smile to my face. The outdoor deck was perfect for watching the sunset, or coffee in the morning. I enjoyed reading his books, especially the Alaska Bird book, apparently I’m a plover sandpiper that “runs short distances then stops” at least that’s the page I opened up to. Really peaceful gem of a cabin. I highly recommend!

The best camping in Alaska with hot tubs guide
Where to go
Bristol Bay
Bristol Bay is an expansive region with massive lakes, huge ocean bays and wild rivers. It’s known for abundant salmon runs that draw anglers and wildlife enthusiasts from around the world. Visit Katmai National Park and Preserve to watch bears catch salmon on Brooks Falls or fish for salmon and giant rainbow trout on the mighty Kvichak River. Lake Iliamna and the rivers in this area offer incredible fishing, sightseeing and boating.
Kenai Peninsula
Some areas in Alaska are road accessible, making them perfect for camping and exploring at your own pace. The Kenai Peninsula is one of those special places where you can experience the best of Alaska from RV sites and tent camping areas at private and public campgrounds in places like Soldotna. Go fishing on the mighty Kenai River for salmon and trout, take a cruise through the Kenai Fjords National Park, take a dog sledding tour or go hiking on the many miles of trails on this wild peninsula.
Southeast Alaska
The rugged Southeast coastline is dotted with small communities, many of which are isolated from any highway systems. Ketchikan and Juneau are two hubs to visit for access to the expansive Tongass National Forest. Prince of Wales Island has limited services but rental vehicles and island roads allow for access to go fishing and hunting in this remote area.
Denali National Park
Accessible by road system, Denali National Park leads many visitors to fly into Anchorage and rent a vehicle or RV to visit. The incredible peak is more than 20,000-feet high and the surrounding Alaska Range is absolutely stunning. If you want an unforgettable view, consider flightseeing tours to gain elevation and really get into the mountains. Moose and bear sightings are common and the trails offer a range of hiking options for visitors. This park is fantastic and is accessible for a wide range of budgets and camping styles.
Alaska is a two-season state where it’s either feeling like summer or winter. In summer, the days are long, leaving plenty of time to explore and very little darkness to help you sleep. The inverse is true during the winter months. The first snowfall, also called termination dust, typically arrives sometime in September and it coincides with rapid color changes and shorter days. Most visitors arrive during summer when the salmon are running and bush flights operate in places like Bristol Bay on regular flight schedules. Although summer is ideal for most campers, winter does have special events like dog sledding races and views of the northern lights.
