Hidden Lake Campground

Hidden Lake Campground, managed by the USFWS, offers a rugged and authentic Alaskan experience within the spectacular Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Known as Alaska in miniature, the surrounding landscape features a unique blend of boreal forest and coastal rainforest, providing a rich habitat for diverse wildlife including moose and brown bears. At an elevation of 229 feet, this site offers campers a chance to immerse themselves in the pristine natural beauty of the Yaghanen, or the good land.

This federal campground is designed for those seeking a back-to-basics outdoor retreat. Facilities on-site include a convenient boat ramp for water access, a dump station, and picnic tables for outdoor dining. While the site provides water hookups, it is a dry camping experience with no electric or sewer hookups available, making it ideal for self-sufficient campers. The grounds are accessible year-round, accommodating both tent and RV campers looking to explore the nearby hiking trails.

With a modest fee of $10, Hidden Lake is best suited for outdoor enthusiasts and moderate-level campers who appreciate a quiet, natural environment. Whether you are launching a boat onto the lake or trekking through the diverse terrain, this campground serves as a perfect home base for exploring the wild heart of the Kenai Peninsula.
