Chugach / Tenderfoot Creek

"The campground is on the left side of the Seward Highway when headed toward Seward from Anchorage. Start to watch for the signs after milepost 46. There is a blue camping sign 1500 feet before the turnoff, and a small U.S. Forest service sign at the turnoff. The turnoff is just before Summit Lake Lodge so if you pass the lodge, you have gone too far.There are 27 sites with picnic tables, fire pits and place to pitch a tent. The soil was rocky in our spot so we were not able to stake down. Luckily we have a tent that does not need to have stakes set. There are toilets, a water pump and a boat launch area on the lake. Several of the campsites are pull-through and some are located right on the edge of the lake. A site in this federal campground costs $10 per night. "
