We had fun exploring the cute garden statues and birdhouses around the grounds. The kids liked the tennis Courtney and small play structure near the entrance. It was such a lovely and memorable weekend!

GORGEOUS National Park campground. When people imagine camping, this is probably what most people…read morethink of. These campsites are all of a gracious size and some of them have spectacular views of Porcupine Creek in Resurrection Bay. Be sure to make reservations (online or over the phone) ahead of time or you will probably not get a spot and end up and the Seaview RV Park instead. Porcupine Campground is nicely wooded and many of the spots give a real sense of privacy which is surprisingly hard to find in a lot of campgrounds in South Central Alaska. They seem to think that since the state is so big we must all like to be crammed together like sardines (safety in numbers?) Thankfully, Porcupine Campground allows plenty of room so you can stretch out and relax. Tent spots are $15 per night, plus a $9 booking fee if you book ahead. Pay the booking fee or take a HUGE chance there won't be any spots for you. You can check online first before you take the drive if you don't have a reservation.

I like this campground if I want to stay close to Anchorage because it has typical amenities. It is…read moreclose to a great trail, views of the inlet, camp area with a fire pit and picnic table, and there is bathrooms and water if needed. I like to camp on the spots to the right so I can have a view of the inlet, but a lot of the camp spaces are decently situated to feel private enough from the next camper. There is a camp host in the summer that will sell wood and collect camp fees. Will come to camp again.

The location does not have electric hook ups and no water hookups. During the season there is a host on site and the pit toilets are well maintained. This spot is in the heart of nature and you'll find yourself among all the critters of Alaska. Reservations can be made on recreation.gov and there are 25+ first come first serve sites available. If you're looking for the a 5 star hotel this isn't it, this is the wild and absolutely worth the stop!

The Seaview Cafe happens to own most of downtown Hope where everyone fishes, and as such, they've…read moregot all the most centrally located campsites for tents, RV's and cabins. If you want to be on top of the fish in Hope and right on the river, then Seaview campsites are what you want. These campsites have ZERO privacy except for seagrass. The tent campsites also aren't really marked very well, so it's pretty much a free for all. The RV hookup spots are clearly marked, but those spots are uglier than hell to be honest. There area FEW tent campsites that are actually cute and have trees, but that's only maybe 3 or 4 of them. Most of them are right on the inlet, depending on which direction you're facing you have a beautiful view of inlet and nature OR alternately you can have a few of cruddy portapotties and RV's. This is definitely a PARTYING campground and not the best locale for people who want solitude. Since the campground is right there in town, the live music from the restaurants reverberates through whole area, which creates a real festive atmosphere. The port a pots at the campground are an absolute nightmare, but the Hope public restroom is a short walk and worth walking to. No showers, so welcome to stinkdom! The Seaview is some of the most inexpensive camping I've seen anywhere in Alaska, so if you're on a budget, this is your spot. Tent spots are only 6 bucks! RV spots are $20 with electric or $15 without. Serious bargain!

Black Bear Campground is a very small, 10 site campground located in the Chugach National Forest…read moredown the road from Portage Glacier. The sites are spacious and open, so they do not afford much privacy. Each space has a fire ring, a parking spot, a picnic table and enough room for several average sized tents. The campground is in a conifer forest, so there's plenty of trees to attach tarps and whatnot to, which would be wise given there is LOTS of light, but persistent precipitation in this part of Alaska. Although this campground is located in valley, you really can't see the mountains or glaciers that ring the location because of the abundance of trees. Despite that, I personally think these campsites are prettier than those located over at Williwaw Campground. There are bear dumpsters on site, hand pumps for potable water and outhouses. There is no firewood or campsite host here; however, the campsite host is located less than 1 mile down the road at Williwaw. Black Bear Campground is located along the Trail of Blue Ice: http://www.alyeskaresort.com/Alyeska/SiteAssets/files/mountain/Trail%20of%20Blue%20Ice.pdf . The campsites with the highest numbers (8,9, 10) are closest to the river, so keep this in mind if you have small children. The sites are big enough to accomodate a RV, but the Williwaw campsites are set up more with RV's in mind. Black Bear Campground certainly isn't the best campground in the area, and for $18 a day, I'd probably stay somewhere else. However, that being said, if you plan to spend time hiking the very easy, very family friendly Trail of Blue Ice, or plan to spend a day in Whittier or Portage, this is a very convinient location to make base camp for a day or two. After that you will have exhausted the activities in the area. To reserve a spot in advance log on to: http://www.recreation.gov/. In addition to the $18 they charge a booking fee of $9. Otherwise the campsites are first come-first served. During July, without a reservation you run the risk of arriving and finding all the campsites taken.
