Kenicott: Glacier View Bar & Grill (August 2008)

Come and be our guests this summer at Glacier View Campground. We are open from June through mid September with July and August being the most popular months of travel. Be prepared for hot days and cool nights as temperatures can easily vary 40 degrees. Layered clothing is recommended and don't forget the bug dope. The town of McCarthy is a one mile walk from camp across Kennicott River foot bridges. The mining town of Kennicott is five miles further up the hill and is accessible by Van Service, Bicycles, or on Foot. Activities in the area include Glacier Hiking, Flight Seeing, Rafting, and Wildlife Viewing. Look for our sign at mile 59 and we'll see you where the road ends and the adventure begins!


Glacier View Campground is located approximately 300 miles East of Anchorage in The Wrangell St. Elias National Park near the historic mining towns of Kennicott and McCarthy Alaska. The campground is accessed by driving to the end of The McCarthy Road. The McCarthy Road is a gravel spur road that runs from the end of the Edgerton Highway in Chitina, Alaska, to about 1 mile outside of the "Must Visit Destination" of McCarthy, Alaska. It is a totally unique Alaskan Campground that also offers cozy cabins located near the end of the McCarthy Road in the heart of the Wrangell St. Elias National Park.
