Lake Camping in Alaska: Best Lake Campsites 2025

With miles of glacier-fringed coastline, rambling fjords and rivers, and a staggering 3 million lakes—more than any other state—campers won't have to look far to find a lakeside pitch in Alaska. Cruise into Lake Clark National Park and Preserve to hike, fish, and paddle, before snagging one of the first-come, first-served campsites, or bring your boat or kayak to the primitive campgrounds at Kenai Lake in Chugach National Forest. Late May through September provides the best weather for lake camping in Alaska, and this is prime fishing season, too. Head to Wonder Lake within the Denali National Park & Preserve, Eklutna Lake at Chugach State Park, or Iliamna Lake, Alaska's largest lake, to catch your fill of trout, salmon, and halibut. In winter, check into a cozy cabin by Mendenhall Lake and enjoy glacier hikes, dog sled rides, and ice fishing in the Tongass National Forest.

Just 30 minutes away from the South Entrance to Denali National Park! This is one of the BEST private camping cabins on the Parks Highway! Strategically located on a secluded homestead from the 1960s, you'll be able to see Mount McKinley on a clear day! The nearby Summit Lake is perfect for fly fishing and local hiking trails are accessible right from the front door. We've got a couple kayaks for rent if you'd like to explore the local lake. Experience a TRUE Alaskan living experience in this DRY cabin with Modern touches. Since there's no interior running water or septic system, we encourage our guests to bring a couple gallons of water and some water bottles for drinking/washing hands. We do provide a camping toilet (5 gallon bucket with seat and trash bags) but you'll have to haul the bags out with you when you leave - along with your trash. Electricity is provided via a Generator that we provide - but you will be responsible for refilling the fuel you use (Vitus Gas station 5 minutes from the cabin). There is heat provided via a Fuel Oil stove. To save costs on cleaning fees - you'll be responsible to leave the cabin in as good - if not better condition than you find it when you arrive. We practice "Leave No Trace" principles. Since we don't charge a cleaning fee, you'll also need to bring your own bedding (recommend a sleeping bag) and linens/towels etc. If you're flying in to Anchorage we recommend you stop in at the local Walmart and buy a cheap sleeping bag to carry with you on your journey throughout the state. The cost of a cheap sleeping bag and/or linen set is less than a typical cleaning fee. Trust us, the extra work to enjoy this cabin is worth it! It has the most INCREDIBLE scenery! Bring some dry firewood for S'mores at the fire pit and enjoy an Alaskan experience at Denali's Doorstep!

You can walk them off leash in our woods, though keep in mind there are lots of squirrels, bunnies, and other wildlife that live there, and we ask you keep them on leash if walking within our neighborhood.

This was an excellent camp site! Even though we had folks on both sides, it felt private because of all the trees and bushes. Bathrooms were clean and accessible, nearby water spout, and the grounds were beautiful to walk through. We even had our very people-shy dog with us without incident because it felt so secluded. Great tent spot with a firepit and picnic table. 10/10 would recommend!

We were able to take our dog there with lots of space to enjoy walks in a gorgeous woods setting right on the lake!
