You can camp at the campgrounds near the lake, but the mountain sheep herds at the top, plus this view...it's worth the effort to hike up.

Eklutna Lake Campground

Eklutna Lake Campground will, of course, give you access to Eklutna Lake

Kyoko the adventure dog agrees...set the tent up at the top.  Look at this view!

Memorial Day weekend.  Photo from the first bench.

Past the second bench, Kyoko is scoping out her next adventure.

The campsite is just to the right of the beach, just beyond some the trees.  That's what you want because the winds coming off Eklutna Glacier is chilly and fast in the afternoons.  While kayaking, it feels like we're sea kayaking!  Fun, but challenging.

Darell B.’s Magical Mountain

Sleepy Bear cabin was built as a retreat for my father here in Alaska. Our 1st year listed on Hipcamp our cabin came in second in best places to stay in Alaska with Hipcamp. The last 2 years we were still mentioned in the top 10 with some pretty stiff competition. 

Eagle River South Fork trail with stunning views of Eagle and Symphony lakes is a short bike ride away.

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.
