Beautiful spot. We were able to set up a tent in a small flat area below the parking but above the beach, out of view of the road.

Great spot on the water with a fantastic view for morning coffee. Pit toilets, tables, fire rings, and trash cans. No signs prohibiting overnights. 2 miles from the ferry terminal.

Free, with beautiful views of the fjords, close to the lake where are many many bears catching salmon. We slept here for 4 nights. Pit toilet and picnic tables. Good reception AT&T.

As described. The perfect spot to sleep. Wonderful view, quiet at night, toilets, picnic tables, flat paved parking... No big vehicle, you have to fit in a parking spot. Stayed 2 nights. Perfect.

We stayed just on a spot just before you get to the rest stop. Just in front of a picnic table and the beach. Great location, but a bit tough to level the trailer as it’s on an a grade. Beautiful spot watching the boats fish for salmon.

Perfect when getting out if ferry at night like us. Stayed two nights. We were 4 the first night and 2 the second. Clean pit toilets and garbage cans. Ocean and mountain view. I prefer this spot over pullouts.

The guy at the info center was happy to tell me (we were talking about something else) that we could « camp » for free anywhere along this road as long as there’s no sign forbidding it. So there you go !

Paved parking lot, directly at the street, but no traffic at night. Great view over the lake and good to see the northern lights. Two fire pits, two pit toilets. Mobile reception with AT&T. Stayed three nights without any problem.

Rest area on North side of town with views of the inlet. Pit toilets. Two tables and fire pits. Several small campers stayed here. We stayed three nights. Convenient to see the town and the bears! No RVs or Big Rigs.
