About
Upper Salamander Creek Campsite is a fully accessible, single occupancy camping site located on Wrangell Island in the Tongass National Forest. Positioned 17 miles southeast of Wrangell, the site is reached via Zimovia Highway and Forest Road 6265, with a 700-foot gravel path leading from the parking area to the campsite. The site overlooks Salamander Creek and provides a peaceful setting for tent camping with basic amenities including an outhouse and picnic facilities. The location offers good stream fishing opportunities in Salamander Creek. This is a primitive camping experience with no potable water available, so visitors must bring their own drinking water. The accessible gravel path makes this site suitable for visitors with mobility needs. The campsite operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation system and no camping fees. As with all Tongass National Forest sites, visitors should be prepared for bear country and practice proper food storage and safety protocols.
Directions
From Wrangell, drive 17 miles southeast on Zimovia Highway to Forest Road 6265. The campsite is accessed via a 700-foot gravel path from the parking area.
