We offer sites with tables and fire rings. Additionally, there's an "Open Camping Area" at the back, suitable for larger groups.

Please bring your own water and keep your camp tidy. Follow simple and common camping rules.
Pinochle Trail extends north into the backcountry for about 12 miles, connecting with other trails.
Pinochle Trail is part of the historic Knik - Nelchina Trail, used by natives, trappers, miners, and hunters for centuries. It follows the natural route from the Matanuska Valley over the mountain range into Copper River country.
Hicks was one of the early guides who had a cabin at Hicks Creek. Along with U.S. Army Lieutenant Joseph Castner, he helped blaze a trail northwest for Captain Glenn in 1898. Described in his journal as a "Tale of Hardship and Suffering," they ended up eating their mules and shoes before reaching their distant goal to the north. Today, we use these trails with relative ease compared to the early explorers, but the scenery and mud holes still remind us of what they endured.

The property at this location is very special to us because my grandfather homesteaded here in the 60s and it’s still in the family. This location was his and his wife’s main home of living where they made this homestead and rented cabins and had a little store to produce extra income to raise their family.

Anchorage, AK · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
🌿 Welcome to Playful Arts Camp: Tiny House Sanctuary!
Nestled on just over an acre of wild land on the edge of Anchorage in the Chugach Mountains, this peaceful retreat offers a blend of wilderness and creativity. The property is within walking distance—or a short drive—from the Chugach National Forest, part of the second-largest national forest in the United States, known for its breathtaking shorelines, glaciers, forests, and rivers.
Your adventure begins down a narrow, winding driveway best suited for vans or Class B RVs under 20 feet. You’ll park near a cozy tiny house surrounded by natural beauty and the sounds of Alaska’s wildlife. There are no hookups or showers. An outhouse is available for campers, and a small stream runs most of the summer. You may also have access to a hand-pump well, though the water has a high iron content.
Depending on your arrival time, you’ll have a couple of parking options. The easiest is to pull just past the tiny house and park near the garden area. Multi-day stays are welcome.
Your host spent 20 years working as a river and wilderness guide, leading guests through some of Alaska’s most remote and beautiful places. When available, he enjoys sharing stories, music, and local travel tips on the porch.
Today, he teaches music—guitar, banjo, mandolin, and ukulele—and offers Feldenkrais classes and sessions at his Anchorage studio, Playful Arts. This work is rooted in a vision of healing, wellness, and human connection.
RV parking and camping are offered as a way to meet travelers on their Alaskan journeys and to share this special piece of wild land with kindred spirits.

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

A few things that make my place unique:
My 5 acres is part of the famous 620-acre Kilcher Homestead, as seen on “Alaska the Last Frontier” TV show. I am the 7th of the 8 children; Atz and Otto are my brothers. There is a special feeling here vibrating in the land, and why our parents picked this spot. Full outdoor kitchen with all you need to cook and wash up; BBQ, hotplate, pure drinking water, spices, pots/pans/dishes etc. The atmosphere feels so pure, so silent, so wild yet comfortable. Drive-in access sometimes, or have to walk 15 minutes, and no issues with mosquitoes!!! You get to meet me and maybe other family members as you cruise around. Homer is 35 minutes away, with oodles of things to do there: great restaurants, a lap pool, fun shopping, etc. We have quite good cell reception here. Lots of options to enjoy your stay!

Homer, AK · 9 sites · Tents, RVs
Twin Rivers Wilderness is a 520-acre private wilderness area, uniquely situated as a private inholding within the Fritz Creek/Anchor River Critical Habitat Area. It offers an exceptionally private and remote wilderness experience despite being only 8 miles, as the crow flies, from downtown Homer—about a 30-minute drive along a beautiful scenic route. AWD or four-wheel drive is recommended, especially during rainy conditions, as access requires traveling 3.3 miles on a dirt road. No RVs, please.
We have miles of trails, including both maintained and game trails, that wind through extensive moose habitat. Wildlife commonly seen on the property includes moose, bears, lynx, porcupines, birds, and many other species.
The communal areas are still under development as of June 2026, and some construction activity is taking place near the basecamp yurt and several of the unique clear polycarbonate domes. As a result, we are currently welcoming adventurous travelers who enjoy rustic camping experiences and do not require luxury accommodations. While our infrastructure is still limited, we do provide water, power, and Wi-Fi near our runway hangar camping area, which is suitable for tent and car camping.
The property is located on the toe of a ridge above the confluence of the Anchor River and Twitter Creek. Beyond the rivers, we are surrounded by thousands of acres of pristine, undeveloped public wilderness. Enjoy spectacular views of the volcanoes across Cook Inlet to the west and the Kenai Mountains across Kachemak Bay to the south. Our nearest neighbors are miles away. The landscape includes wetlands, meadows, forests, steep valleys, streams, and creeks.
In addition to our extensive trail network, we offer guided hikes, guided e-bike tours, and unique packrafting day trips on the Anchor River. At our sister property, located nearby, we also offer ATV tours of the surrounding countryside.

Cantwell, AK · 1 site
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!

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.

Second time staying at Stump Creek. Joe is a fantastic host and the campground is quiet, cozy, secluded and welcoming. I highly recommend this stay for anyone passing through, looking to escape from Anchorage or just to go somewhere quiet. There’s also a cabin apartment you can rent, as well as another smaller cabin. Joe is actively working on more cabins.

As we drove up the road toward the campground, I remember saying, “How cool would it be if we had a view of Matanuska Glacier?” Then we pulled in and realized that many of the sites had incredible views. We were fortunate to get a spot right along the edge of the campground with an amazing view of the glacier and surrounding mountains.
The camp hosts came over to greet us soon after we arrived. They were incredibly friendly and even pointed out a few other sites we might like, although we were very happy where we were. They also gave us helpful recommendations on the best tour options for getting out and walking on Matanuska Glacier.
The campground itself was quiet and peaceful, with only a few neighbors around us. It really felt like a hidden gem. The hosts were lovely and seemed to genuinely love this place and enjoy sharing it with others. It ended up being one of those places that felt special from the moment we arrived.

What an amazing hideaway this little campsite is! It was a little bit of a tight squeeze for our one slide out, but we made it work. We felt enveloped by the alders and berries, very private. Having water/electric hookups was so convenient we hardly wanted to leave each day. The view took our breath away, especially while having a fire in the fire ring. Pete and Lenore even provide wood for fire building and a bucket for dousing the fire. This was our first time using Hipcamp and we highly recommend Glacier View RV spot!

If you show up at low tide you will have difficulty getting to the cabin, but it’s easy at high tide. Great kerosene stove, clean, well constructed.
