Sauna
A little haven of warmth and relaxation.
We have owned this property since 1996 and have found it to be a special healing place and have now decided to share it with other special people. It is approximately 6 acres on the Chilkat river, with about 1200 feet of river frontage. The Cathedral Peaks are directly across the river from the property, which has southern exposure and each campsite has sunset views. All the salmon species swim up the river. The subject property has nursery streams for the salmon. They do not spawn here, but the fry come from upstream spawning grounds to grow up a bit before heading out to the ocean. Swans nest in a nearby pond and sometimes play in the river out front. Evenings and nights are quite and peaceful

OK spot for the night, close to highway but not too much road noise. Our space (4) was basically just a parking spot but the view was great and worked for us.

Absolutely beautiful location right on the river!! Super cool newly constructed sauna with a fun cold plunge just outside in the creek. Really nice host Roger was so welcoming. We ended staying two nights instead of our planned one night because we just didn’t want to leave! Would definitely stay here again.

Loved "Roughing it easy" at HRC!
Haines River Camp is a gem. Roger has gifted visitors an unparalleled opportunity to spend time on the beautiful Chilkat river with amazing views of the Cathedral peaks as a center piece for a peaceful and reinvigorating experience. The sauna is amazing and has a wonderful fragrance from the freshly cut yellow cedar it is made from. Plan for experiencing a innovative composting toilet (each one shared between two sites) which takes a little effort to make sure we are being good stewards of the space (#1 and #2 in their own place, cover with saw dust...). It's different, but very doable. Per Roger, the temporary tent shelters are planning to be replaced with more permanent structures, but even as is, they provided good extra cover for our tents and the picnic table structures performed very well too. I highly recommend treating yourself to "roughing it easy" at Haines River Camp!

I really enjoyed camping at Haines River camp! The view was beautiful, and Roger was very hospitable. It was close to everything I needed (hiking trails, coffee shops, and downtown) but out of town enough to provide an incredible and peaceful experience right under the mountain! The campground was quiet, clean, and had everything I needed!

Off Grid Glamour!
Nothing wrong with “living in a van down by the river”. Actually, we slept in our tent next to the river with awesome scenery all around and a few raindrops coming down. Roger’s tent sites are covered with putting green floors - dry and comfy. The covered picnic table - useful. The composting toilet - practical. Roger, Roger!
