About

Ohmer Creek Campground sits 22 miles south of Petersburg along the Mitkof Highway in the Tongass National Forest. This primitive camping area operates under a minimal maintenance schedule due to budget constraints and is available year-round for both day use and limited overnight camping at no cost. The campground offers a basic wilderness camping experience in Southeast Alaska's temperate rainforest. Facilities are extremely limited, with no potable water and minimal restroom infrastructure. Campers must be self-sufficient, packing out all trash and either using self-contained camping units or neighboring Forest Service facilities. The site provides access to Ohmer Creek for stream fishing and is near the Ohmer Creek Trail. This campground suits experienced campers seeking a remote, low-impact camping experience who are prepared for primitive conditions. The location offers access to the natural beauty of the Tongass National Forest with proximity to Petersburg for resupply if needed.
