The best camping near Valdez with fishing

·

In Valdez, fishing draws travellers to over 30 campsites where the water stays cold and the salmon run thick. Anglers set up along the bay, cast lines into mountain streams, and swap stories back at camp over fires—campfires are allowed at most spots. You’ll find options with toilets, pet-friendly rules, and access to more than just the water: climbing, hiking, and swimming are all within easy reach. Average nightly rates sit at $27, with several sites hitting that low mark. Locals swear by Valdez Adventure Alliance (189 reviews) for its central location and reliable fishing, while The Raven's Den of the Chugach (10 reviews) offers a quieter spot tucked against the mountains. Bring your rod, boots, and an appetite for wild Alaska—these campsites keep it simple and close to the action.

21mi from Valdez · 27 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Once run by the state but is now managed by VAA. The beautiful Blueberry Lake campground on Thompson Pass has spectacular 360-degree mountain views. 21 sites are available (1-17 on a paved loop road) near the lake. Vault toilets and a water pump are available for use. Several sites work well as group camping sites. There are no RV hookups or pull-throughs. Pets and generators are allowed. Bring your own firewood. The McAllister cabin, at the mouth of Shoup Bay Marine State Park, is best accessed by kayak or boat. There is a narrow, tide dependent channel that leads to the inner lagoon where Moraine and Kittiwake cabins are located. Kayaks recommended for access.

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
