Williwaw Campground, located in Alaska’s stunning Portage Valley, provides a serene retreat framed by glaciated peaks, lush forest, and rich wildlife. Its prime setting near Williwaw Creek offers campers exceptional privacy, a peaceful atmosphere, and access to iconic attractions like the nearby Portage Glacier and the salmon-filled creek visible from the on-site fish viewing platform.

The campground features 60 well-separated sites suitable for both tent and RV campers, each equipped with picnic tables and fire pits. Essential amenities include hand-pump drinking water and vault toilets, with no electric hookups available. A hub for outdoor adventurers, the area connects to the Trail of Blue Ice for hiking and biking, and offers nearby angling opportunities, glacier views, and wildlife such as bears, moose, mountain goats, and bald eagles.
