Port Chalmers Cabin

Port Chalmers Cabin offers a truly unique and remote wilderness experience located on the rugged shores of Montague Island in southcentral Alaska. Set at an elevation of just two feet, this federal site provides visitors with an authentic taste of the Alaskan backcountry, surrounded by stunning coastal scenery that is perfect for those seeking solitude and a deep connection with nature. Whether you are looking to spend your days fishing, hiking through local trails, or simply observing the diverse regional wildlife, this location serves as a premier basecamp for adventure.

This USFS-managed site provides basic amenities including vault toilets and access to firewood for your stay. Because the location is accessible only by float plane or boat from towns like Cordova, Seward, or Whittier, visitors must be self-sufficient and prepared to manage their own travel arrangements and safety. Please note that there are no hookups available at this site.

This destination is best suited for experienced outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers who are comfortable with remote, off-the-grid living. While the cabin provides a rustic roof over your head, guests should come fully prepared with all necessary supplies for their stay. It is an ideal getaway for those looking to escape the crowds and immerse themselves in the pristine beauty of the Alaskan coast.
