PTARMIGAN CREEK

About this campground

<h2>Overview</h2> Ptarmigan Creek is a small, peaceful campground with incredible views of the Chugach Mountains. Nestled beside Ptarmigan Creek and a short walk from Kenai Lake, the campground creates an ideal location for avid wildlife enthusiasts, hikers and anglers. <br/><br/> Miles of hiking and biking trails weave throughout the area, and moose, brown and black bear, sheep and goats can be found across a large part of the forest.<h2>Recreation</h2> From late August to early September campers can view red salmon spawning in the creek from Ptarmigan Creek's fish viewing platform. <br/><br/> Fishing is a popular pastime, and Dolly Varden and rainbow trout are frequent catches. <br/><br/> The Ptarmigan Lake Trail takes hikers along the shore of the turquoise lake and inclines up through meadows, brush and forest.<h2>Facilities</h2> Campground amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, picnic tables, campfire rings and dumpsters. No RV hookups are available but firewood is sold on-site. Parking aprons are gravel.<h2>Natural Features</h2> The campground sits in a wooded area at 470 feet elevation along Ptarmigan Creek. Campsites are shaded by spruce and paper birch, and mountain views are all around. <br/><br/> The campground is part of the Kenai Peninsula in the western part of Chugach National Forest. A largely alpine region with miles of fishing streams and remote mountain peaks, Chugach extends across more than 5 million acres of arid tundra wilderness, rugged mountains, deep fjords and the Prince William Sound. <h2>Contact Info</h2> For local information, please call (907) 522-8368 or call (907) 288-3178 for general information. <h2>Nearby Attractions</h2> National Historic Iditarod Trail.
