Although Not Extremely Well Maintained Dry Creek Is Open And Pretty Clean. Water Source Available Toilets Are Clean And Functional, Price Is Now $25 A Night As Of August 2024. Bugs Weren’t Bad This Time of Year. We Had An Enjoyable Overnight Stay
Dump station is not functional.

We stayed here for one night 8/22. Very few mosquitoes during the day, more at night as to be expected. We were the only campers until about 5pm, a handful of others rolled in.

We stayed here for one night 8/22. Very few mosquitoes during the day, more at night as to be expected. We were the only campers until about 5pm, a handful of others rolled in. Plenty of sites, many don’t look like they’ve been used for the season. Dry camping- there appeared to be a small water tank to fill up jugs but that was it. Half of the vault toilets were locked. Quite a few potholes on the road in. $20 seems a bit high for what you get…does not appear to be well maintained. But it met our needs and was quiet and right off the highway.

August 3, 2023 - Arrived late from Whittier-Valdez Ferry.. Just needed to sleep for the night. Sites were Not maintained.. One to two foot high grasses, so many Mosquitoes that we couldn’t even open the doors without them literally flooding into the vehicle. Getting to the vault toilet was uncomfortable even with bug spray on.. Bugs were so bad we didn’t go to the Fee station to pay the fee before we Bedded down- In the morning we consider If E we should Even pay as we Left at 5:30 Am But We Did and the mosquitoes Filled the vehicle again In the morning but we did pay Because that is the right thing to do.

Campground nice enough, larger, private sites and pull-thrus are to the right. Quiet. But the bugs were worst we’ve ever experienced traveling all over Canada and Alaska.

I often stay here when in Alaska to break up what would otherwise be a long drive. It is fairly secluded and quiet.

I often stay here when in Alaska to break up what would otherwise be a long drive. It is fairly secluded and quiet. There are several pull-through spots for the larger rigs and several smaller back-in spots for the smaller rigs. Also there is a separate area which seems to be designed for ‘group campers’. The camping spots are in a wooded area and there is no noise from the main highway.

We drove through and considered staying here. It’s not a bad spot, just mediocre. It has cell service and is reasonably secluded. Not bad.

“Closed when we tried to stay here June 11, 2023”
noted 6/12/2023
The gate was closed. When we asked at the visitor's center in town they didn't know why it was closed. Said that because the State of Alaska has contracted out managing the campgrounds to different businesses, there's no central place to get information anymore.
