Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights10 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Eagles Nest Campground sits on the shore of Balls Lake on Prince of Wales Island, surrounded by muskeg and the deep green of the Tongass temperate rainforest. The site looks across water toward the foothills and the Thorne Mountains, and an interpretive lakeside trail runs about 1,800 feet with places to pause and watch for wildlife.



Length limits vary by campsite.

Barbara W ★ 3 · Jun 2025There is NO RV DUMP here nor potable water, even though the website and map indicates there is. We were able to get water, and take showers, in Thorne Bay at the city offices, and the harbor. The site itself was shorter than expected because the picnic table had been moved into the parking area and was too heavy for us to move. It also was a bit overgrown which made it narrow. Since it was rainy while we were there, and we were generally out and about, this didn't impact us too much. The boardwalk along the lake is very pleasant; we shared it with a doe very a brief distance:) The campground is well located for exploring the island, both north and south. It is a bit of a drive back to the ferry for an early departure.
