Clean bathrooms. A covered place to eat by the creek. Dogs howling at the midnight sun. Fly fishing. Excuse me, but what else could a man want? If you need it, it’s in Anchorage.

The camp host met us at the entrance in the down pouring rain and answered all of our questions. Super nice. We stayed one night and it was a nice clean campground. I was hoping to fish but the river was to high.
