About

Upper Salamander Creek Campsite is a free, fully ADA-accessible primitive campsite located on Wrangell Island in southeastern Alaska's Tongass National Forest. This single-occupancy site sits along a 700-foot gravel path from the parking area, positioned to overlook Salamander Creek. The campsite offers basic amenities including an outhouse. Potable water is not available, so campers must bring an adequate supply. The remote setting provides access to stream fishing along Salamander Creek and the opportunity to experience the temperate rainforest environment of the Tongass. Access is via Zimovia Highway and Forest Road 6265, approximately 17 miles southeast of Wrangell. The accessible trail design makes this one of the few barrier-free backcountry camping options in the Wrangell Ranger District.
