Customer Reviews
If you are into camping and don’t need electric or sewer hookups this is an absolute gem! Plenty of serene, picturesque scenery. You can watch the ships going in and out of the harbor at Skagway from the campground. Walking out onto the tidal flats was peaceful and you can also see the tide come in and go out. Learning of the gold rush and the cemetery when the people that were buried during the avalanche and being able to walk the streets where the town was very cool.
Free! Donations highly recommended. River nearby. No potable water source so boil it first. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Really nice actually. Still can't believe it was free (I did donate). Managed by City of Skagway. You can take the Dyea NPS walking tour from the campground which was a nice way to end the day.
Nice and quite place to visit and enjoy, either with an excursion or on your own, just be aware of the wildlife. Always be prepared or go with someone else.
Wow, what a cool campground! Being right by the river, you can definitely see why so many bears are in the area. You can't beat the nightly price of FREE! During the summer months, even $10 a night is a steal of a deal here. Definitely recommend this campground. The day use is awesome too. I even saw a red fox on my way in!
Nice to get away from the crowds of Skagway to a nice quiet campground. The campgrounds in Skagway are not the best for tents. Just have to take it easy on the rough narrow road into Dyea. The story of Dyea is quite interesting and I recommend walking through the townsite. $10CAD a night cannot be beat!
