When you camp at Porcupine Campground brace yourself for some eye-popping views.

Don’t forget your binocs and camera, climb up to the scenic overlook, and then try to spot beluga whales doing their thing in the bay. You will at least get a glimpse of windsurfers being badasses in the water while you wait. Then hit the multi-use Gull Rock Trail for a spectacular 5-mile hike or ride along the shore. Afterwards you can settle into your cozy RV and tent friendly campsite surrounded by birch forest and get all warm and fuzzy about the outdoors.

Portage Island Glacier

23 sites · RVs, Tents90 acres · Portage, AK
Alaska's city of Portage was nearly destroyed in the 1964 earthquake; only 20 cabins remain on the 90 acres, privately owned by H. Tomingas, that divides The Portage River. During high enough tides, "Portage" is totally surrounded by water making it into an island. In other words, it's the only place that actually has a tide regulated moat!Learn more about this land:Private property overlooking Potter's Marsh just outside of Anchorage with a view that's unreal.

Historic Wharfsite at Sunrise AK

10 sites · Tents10 acres · Sunrise, AK
Learn more about this land: Sixmile Creek empties into Turnagain Arm next to this picturesque area. River rafting and fishing is nearby as well as the goldrush town of Hope just eight miles away. High tides twice a day can turn this into an island if they are over 29 feet. This property is about a half mile walk down a gold-rush era road to the wharf site of the gold rush town of Sunrise City. The buildings and tents of the approximately 10,000 miners who lived in this area are long gone. But the scenic views, peacefulness and quiet of this rugged area of south central Alaska are not soon forgotten. There are no paved trails or boardwalks. No crowds or hot dog vendors. Imagine fishing without crowds--catching pink and silver salmon or trout with awesome views of the Chugach National Forest. Don't expect amenities. This is camping outdoors in Alaska. There is a communal firepit with a portable firepit and grill that can be moved to whereever you set up your tent. Usually your group will be alone on your adventure here. There is nothing like this location anywhere else along Turnagain Arm.
