Tent 3 - River Camp

Sleeps 2 | Queen Bed | From $150/night

River Camp is tucked along the forested bluff line with peaceful views across the Kennicott River Valley to the Wrangell Mountains. Set slightly apart from the other tents, it offers a quieter, more secluded feel while remaining just a short walk from the shared Pavilion.

Inside, you’ll find a comfortable queen bed dressed in premium linens and a warm down comforter, bedside tables, and a small table with chairs. A portable propane heater provides warmth on cool Alaska evenings, and hot water bottles are available for added comfort on chilly nights. Your tent is a peaceful retreat; meals, coffee, and gathering take place in the shared Pavilion nearby.
