The best dog-friendly campgrounds in Alaska

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.

As a Heli-Ski Guide in the Chugach, I found my slice of Heaven.  I am excited to share it with you! Learn more about this land:Stunningly beautiful location in the heart of the Chugach Mountains ~45 miles east of Valdez, Alaska. Snow capped and glaciated mountains with active waterfalls surround this quaint valley known as the "Serendipity Homestead." Google search Mt. Billy Mitchell, Alaska, and you'll see what your campsite view will be, as this location is literally at the base of this gorgeous mountain. 2 rivers, the Tsina and Tiekel, and Stewart Creek (All glacially fed...) converge in this valley. Listen to the waterfalls cascading from the Mt. Billy Mitchell Glacier, or rapids of the 3 waterways, as you doze off to sleep. Thanks, Host, Robb Maris

Weekend Trip to The Raven's Den of the Chugach

Sweet camp site. Well stocked. Private. I felt quite safe letting my dog roam off leash. Parking IS tight. Follow Robb’s advice and walk the drive into site to make sure you can get your rig in and out with no fuss. I loved hearing the river off in the distance and all the birds singing. As I said a sweet campsite.

Weekend Trip to Nauti Otter Inn and Yurt Village

The Lumberjack Shack was a great stay! Clean, surprisingly roomy, and very adorably Alaskan. Nauti Otter staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The shared spaces (kitchen, bathrooms, living room) were also spotless. Highly recommend for a stay in Steward!

Weekend Trip to The Raven's Den of the Chugach

Amazing campsite! Beautiful mountain views, a nice firepit with some logs to sit on, and a picnic bench! Also, NICEST outhouse I’ve ever seen!! So clean, great cross-ventilation (= NO smell!!), and a great view of the trees! There is some road noise but the nearby river and birds make it hardly noticeable.
