Jack Bay State Marine Park

How does the idea of camping in a remote wilderness, accessible only by boat or plane, sound to you? Jack Bay State Marine Park Campground offers precisely that—a secluded Alaskan adventure where rugged beauty meets tranquility. Located approximately 15 miles southeast of Valdez, this 811-acre park features steep mountain backdrops, old-growth spruce and hemlock forests, and diverse ecosystems of muskeg and salt marsh, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and solitude seekers.

Camping at Jack Bay is as primitive as it gets, with only a rustic 12x14 cabin that accommodates up to six people. The lack of road access enhances the feeling of remoteness, while activities like fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing ensure you’re immersed in Alaska’s untamed beauty. This campground is ideal for adventurers seeking an authentic wilderness experience, perfect for weekend getaways or longer stays to truly disconnect and explore.
