Crescent Creek

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Creek access and wildlife viewing draw campers to this remote US Forest Service campground in Chugach National Forest. Crescent Creek operates from mid-May through mid-September with nine sites designed primarily for tent camping, though small RVs under 20 feet can manage the rough access road and compact sites.

The approach requires crossing three single-lane bridges with a 10-ton weight limit, and the gravel road shows significant wear with numerous potholes. Sites sit well back from the road with substantial spacing between them. Site 4 provides direct creek views, while sites 7 and 9 also receive positive mentions from visitors. All sites include food lockers, picnic tables, and fire rings, though campers must bring their own firewood as no host is present. Recent bear sign has been reported in the area, making proper food storage essential.

Great Hiking and Bears!

This place is secluded, and magical. Tent camping works best here, sites are pretty small for anything bigger than a sprinter van.

Very beautiful

Into the Woods

Small campground only 9 sites, no host so pack in your wood. This poor campground needs some road work, lots of pot holes and short sites so large rigs won't fit here. You pass over three one lane bridges with a max of 10 tons allowed. Set far back tons of privacy. #4 has a creek view, #9 and #7 were both also nice sites. Large sites great for tents however with food lockers. Watch for bear activity as we saw fresh Scat. If you want to get away from people this canpground is for you.
