RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
(NOTE: A reservation MUST be made to stay at this campground.)
DIRECTIONS:
NOTE: Access to most campgrounds in the Tongass National Forest
is initially by plane or boat. These directions assume access is by
ferry, specifically via either the Alaska Marine Highway System or
Inter-Island Ferry Authority. For a price, any size RV can be
transported by the ferry systems.
From the Alaska Marine Hwy. ferry terminal in Juneau, AK, turn
left onto Glacier Hwy. and go 0.8 miles to campground sign. Turn
left after sign and go 0.9 miles to another campground sign.
Bear left at sign into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 45 ft.
The campground has two overlapping loops on Auke Bay in a stand
of hemlock and Sitka spruce. The small parking aprons discourage
large motorhomes and travel trailers and give the campground a
pleasant tent campground feel. Located on Auke Bay, which flows
into Lynne Channel, which flows eventually to the Gulf of Alaska,
the campground can serve as a resting point for sea kayakers.
The dense vegetation provides only limited views of Auke Bay.
This is bear country; practise safe food storage techniques.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 290 ft.
This delightful campground is a single loop between Harris River
and Hollis/Klawock Hwy. around a muskeg bog. Especially pretty
when spring flowers are in bloom, the open space provided by the
bog permits viewing of Harris Peak and other surrounding
mountains. Privacy between campsites is fair to good. Expect
bear and eagle sightings along access roads. A shed is stocked with
wood near entrance to campground. The walk to picnic area across
wooden bridge, provides visitors with a good view of roaring
"shute" of Harris River. The nearest gas station and groceries
are in Klawock, 11.6 miles west of campground on the
Hollis/Klawock Hwy. An excellent day trip is visiting the Haida
People's "totem pole park" in Kasaan (53 miles north and east of
campground). It is a short walk from the "town center," which
has no store or gas. Ask for directions.

with a more tranquil atmosphere. The 134-acre Ward Lake
offers boating (no motors), bird watching and additional fishing
opportunities. Ketchikan offers a variety of sights for day

is gated in the off-season. The campground wanders through a
muskeg-bog environment with Sitka spruce and hemlock providing

forest experience. Outstanding birdwatching, fishing and day

The campground, located north of the Alaskan Marine Hwy ferry

Backpacker, and Estuary. Estuary Loop has two loops and sites
that will accommodate both RVs and tent campers. Large mature
Sitka spruce and hemlock provide ample shade and good privacy.
The Backpacker Loop has only walk-in tent sites with a communal
cook shelter. Bayside Loop has three campsites that are walk-in
or boat/kayak-in only which have views of Starrigavan Bay and the
ferry's coming and going. Bayside Loop's campsites are very
popular - reservations for these sites are recommend. The
campground also has two tent-only group areas, not included in this
review; contact the Ranger District office for more information.
Starrigavan is Russian for "old harbor." The campground is said to
be adjacent to the Old Sitka Historic Site, the location used by the
retreating Russians after the Tlingit attack on Redoubt Saint Michael
in 1802.
Possible day trips from campground are: Alaska Raptor Center,
