About this campground

Fred's Creek Cabin sits on the southeastern shore of Kruzof Island about 10 miles west of Sitka, with the cabin's front facing Sitka Sound and Fred's Creek emptying into saltwater just north of the structure. The surrounding terrain is fairly flat and cloaked in spruce and hemlock, and the shoreline is a mix of pumice and volcanic rock shaped by steady surf.

“We love this cabin! The creek next to it always flourishes with wildlife. The trailhead to edgecumbe is right behind and the fire wood is stocked well and there is lots of beach combing to be done. ”

Brooke R 5 · Jul 2024 · Recreation.gov

“There is plenty of wood! If you would like to cross the creek, hip waders are recommended, makes it a lot easier! Enjoyed our stay so much. Very peaceful and plenty of places to hike and walk along the beaches! ENJOY! ”

How far ahead to book Freds Creek Cabin

Past reservation timing is guidance for when to look — it does not mean a site is open or closed today.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (871 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
