Tents & Rates

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 sit on raised platforms with sweeping views of the Wrangell Mountains and Kennicott Valley. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable queen bed (queen + twin in Spruce Camp) dressed in premium linens and a warm down comforter, along with a small table and chairs and a portable propane heater for cool Alaska evenings. Step onto your private covered deck to watch the midnight sun or spot wildlife in the valley below.
