Kenai Fjords National Park Cabins

About

Kenai Fjords National Park operates two rustic summer cabins deep within Aialik Bay. Holgate Cabin sits on a small bluff above a cobble beach with stunning views of Holgate Glacier, while Aialik Bay Cabin is located in Abra Cove across from Aialik Glacier. Both provide an immersive wilderness experience in one of Alaska's most dramatic coastal landscapes, surrounded by calving glaciers, marine mammals, seabirds, and black bears. The cabins are primitive by design. Each has wooden bunks, a propane heater with fuel provided, a table and chairs, and waste disposal bags for human waste (the original pit toilets were sealed in 2011). There is no electricity, running water, cell service, or mooring buoys. Guests must bring their own drinking water or treatment supplies, bedding, cook stove, food, and emergency gear. A marine radio or satellite communicator is strongly recommended. Holgate Cabin sleeps up to six on three bunks, while Aialik Bay Cabin sleeps four to six on two bunks. Reservations are limited to three nights per group per cabin per calendar year. Campfires are allowed only below the high tide line, and pets are prohibited except for service animals.
