If you are looking for a newly renovated campground that is close to the city of Anchorage, then the Bird Creek Campground is a great place to check out. The campground is only 20 miles from the city, and there are many attractions nearby to visit with the whole family.
This small and tranquil campground allows you to take in the serene atmosphere of the park as well as see animals in their natural habitat. Fishing is great in this area, so anglers looking to catch some salmon or rainbow trout may want to stay here. There are also a lot of trails to go hiking, so even though the campground is not that large, you can easily explore the surrounding area. You can also go whale watching nearby, making this one of the best Anchorage campsites for marine life enthusiasts.
“Loved sitting above Turnagain Arm watching the tides come and go while reading and relaxing… our smores over the campfire never tasted better as we relaxed and enjoyed the evening.” – Stan, TripAdvisor Reviews
