Glacier View Campground

Perched on ancient glacial moraine near the historic town of McCarthy, Glacier View Campground offers an unparalleled combination of rugged Alaskan beauty, sweeping glacier vistas, and a touch of rustic charm. With its proximity to the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the campground serves as a gateway to one of the wildest and most remote regions in Alaska, blending solitude with a sense of adventure.

The campground features 22 well-spaced campsites suitable for both tents and RVs, ensuring privacy and a tranquil atmosphere. Campers can enjoy basic amenities, including drinking water, outhouses, and a simple shower. A standout feature is the Glacier View Grill, an open-air café famous for its hearty “Glacier Burger” and other delicious grilled delights, complimented by beer and wine, making post-adventure meals a highlight. Wildlife sightings are common, and the peaceful sounds of nearby waters add to the serene experience.

Located just a short walk from the Kennecott River pedestrian bridge, the campground offers convenient access to McCarthy and the historic Kennecott Mines, both steeped in Alaskan heritage. Guests can hike, explore the stunning glaciers, or simply bask in the untamed beauty of this remote wilderness. Whether for a weekend escape or an extended stay, Glacier View Campground invites you to immerse yourself in the raw splendor of Alaska’s backcountry.
