Love love love this campground. Every site has space. We didn’t use the restrooms but someone told me they were clean. Peaceful. I would go back.
Sarah H ★ 5 · Sep 2025
It was my husband's dream to spend the night above the Artic Circle, so we did. This campground is very easy to located but you have to drive back a ways to located the actual camping spaces. Sites are spacious and the vistas were awesome. A black bear greeted us when we drove in, such a treat! Of the 20 or so spaces available, it was us and one other camper.
