Camping near Lake Louise

·

Head to the Copper River Valley to set up camp in the Lake Louise area. This charming Alaskan town welcomes hikers in summer, skiers in winter, and anglers year-round. Lake Louise campgrounds typically feature amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, and access to a boat launch, while private cabin rentals nearby may offer bunk beds, linens, and access to restrooms and showers. Start off easy with a hike along the lake’s 45-minute interpretive trail, which starts from Lake Louise State Recreation Area. Anglers will enjoy reeling in lake trout and arctic grayling from the crisp water, while others might want to explore the Nelchina Public Use Area, right beside Lake Louise, for more hiking as well as opportunities for ATVing and snowmobiling. (Keep an eye out for the Nelchina caribou herd!) RV parks and tent campsites await just outside the boundary with full hookups, dump stations, firepits, hot showers, and wifi. Cabins also come with fully stocked kitchens, multiple bedrooms, and bathrooms. As night falls, winter campers may get the chance to watch a vibrant display of the northern lights.

This is a 10-acre property along the edge of the north bank of the Klutina River--a major king salmon-fishing stream that flows into the famous Copper River just one half mile downriver. That part of the property used for camping along the river is 3 acres. This is a SEASONAL location: Memorial Weekend through Labor Day Weekend with NEW LOWER prices. At this time only the riverside sites (south side of the river dike that one drives across) are available for camping or RV parking. We have no power or other hook-ups on the riverside except that water is available on site through a series of new DEC-approved pipe and spigets, along with more fire pits and more picnic tables. Showers are extra @ $5.00 a person; Laundry tokens: $3.00 per washer load or 40 minute dryer load. Bar on site. Food service coming later THIS 2024 season. WIFI is only on the north side of the dike near any of the overnight rooms or the bar. We recommend no RVs to exceed 28 feet on the river side of the dike. Very private sites and spread out--far more so than other nearby locations. The public restroom is on the north side of the dike. AND we have several budget rooms available on the north side of the dike as well. In 2024, these go for about $100/night. These all have Dish Net, WIFI, and coffee in the rooms. This property is undergoing development. There is still a fire pit on the river side, as we have considerable brush to burn (not during the camping season, but brush is typically piled on the site about the time we open). Just to the east, across the Copper River, is the 12 million acre Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Our property is conveniently located in driving time almost exactly halfway between Anchorage and McCarthy-Kennecott. It is about 3 1/2 hours in either direction. At the Klutina you can charter a sight-seeing river boat or you can white-water raft from a point several miles up a historic trail that follows the river to its source--Klutina Lake and Klutina Glacier. You can obtain a visitors' license and fish here for salmon. You can also hike along the dike or numerous trails in the area.
