Glamping in the Heart of Wrangell-St. Elias
"Our stay at Camp McCarthy was fantastic. I'd call it a luxury glamping experience. The property is huge and felt private with amazing views all around." — Barron, Google Review
The Tents
Four spacious safari-style canvas tents are set on raised platforms with sweeping views of the Wrangell Mountains and Kennicott Valley. Inside, each tent features a comfortable queen bed (queen + twin in Spruce Camp) with premium linens, a warm down comforter, and hot water bottles for added coziness, along with a small table and chairs and a portable propane heater for cool Alaska evenings. Step onto your private covered deck to take in the midnight sun or watch for wildlife in the valley below.
