Camping at Harris River Campground near Craig

Public campground · Craig · 14 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Harris River is a good base for day hikes and angling, and wildlife viewing is a regular draw expect to see bald eagles, salmon during runs, and the kinds of mammals common to Southeast Alaska's temperate rain forest. The Harris River Trail and the Twentymile Spur Trail pass along the river; the Twentymile Spur terminates at a cluster of beaver ponds, and about two miles east an interpretive trail outlines recent river restoration work and habitat experiments.
