7 months agoWe parked and car camped here. Campsites with a picnic table and a fire ring are available for $15. It was a nice, quiet location nestled in Hatcher's Pass, with the sound of a rushing stream behind the campsites. Typical outhouse facilities are provided, along with a potable water pump.
