About
Coeur d'Alene Campground offers a quiet backcountry experience in the heart of Alaska's Chugach National Forest. Situated in a remote valley surrounded by spruce and hemlock forest, the campground provides access to the historic Palmer Creek mining area and surrounding wilderness. The 6 walk-in tent sites are nestled along Granite Creek with views of the snow-capped Chugach Mountains. This is a primitive, no-services campground. Each site has a fire pit, picnic table, and access to vault toilets, but there is no potable water, no trash service, and no hookups. Bear-proof food storage lockers are provided. Campers should come fully prepared with drinking water and plan to pack out all garbage. Access requires driving 6 miles on narrow Palmer Creek Road, which features loose gravel and is not recommended for large RVs or trailers. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a 14-day stay limit. Its remote location makes it ideal for those seeking solitude and a launching point for exploring the surrounding forest and historic mining sites.
Directions
From Hope Highway at Milepost 16.2, head south along Resurrection Creek Road for 0.5 miles. Turn left onto Palmer Creek Road and continue 6 miles to the campground. Roads are narrow with loose gravel.
