Anchorage Alaska Campgrounds & RV Parks

Bird Creek Campground south of Anchorage along the Seward Highway has undergone a complete transformation from the traditional campsites to a more open design. We last visited this campground on July 06, 2014 and were totally impressed.

Bird Creek Campground, Anchorage Alaska

The Bird Creek Campground rehabilitation project has been completed and what an amazing transformation it has been. Once a bit difficult to negotiate with a larger RV, today the Bird Creek Campground is open, overhanging branches are gone and maneuverability is no longer an issue.

Bird Creek Campground near Indian is popular with fishermen and families alike. The close proximity to Anchorage, easy access off of the Seward Highway and loads of trails for hiking and a bike path too, Bird Creek Campground is a top destination in the Anchorage bowl. Backed up to Chugach State Park while overlooking the waters of Turnagain Arm lends the campground to a very tranquil outing that is affordable for just about everyone.
