Best campgrounds near Juneau, AK
Campgrounds near Juneau
Juneau sits on Alaska's Panhandle, ringed by the Tongass National Forest, the Coast Mountains, and the waters of the Inside Passage. The city has only 45 miles of road and can only be reached by ferry or by plane, with no direct road connection. RVs and travel trailers arrive via the Alaska Marine Highway ferry from Haines, Skagway, Prince Rupert, or Bellingham. Once on the road system, campers have roughly 45 miles of Glacier Highway to work with, running north from downtown past the airport, Auke Bay, and up toward Echo Cove.
Options are limited but distinct. Glacier Nalu Campground Resort, on Mendenhall Loop Road in Juneau, offers full-service RV sites on 12.5 acres surrounded by Sitka spruce, alder, and natural wetland vegetation, on the city bus route and near the ferry terminal. Farther north along Glacier Highway, Eagle Beach State Recreation Site is a 590-acre park about 27 miles north of Juneau along Lynn Canal, with sweeping views of the Chilkat and Juneau Mountains and Eagle River running through the property.
The two together cover the practical range: full-service basecamp near the glacier, or a quieter primitive stay closer to the water.
Things to do around Juneau
Mendenhall Glacier is the anchor attraction. The Forest Service visitor center, Nugget Falls Trail, and West Glacier Trail all sit within a few miles of Glacier Nalu Campground Resort, and the park is on the City Bus route for campers who prefer to leave the rig parked.
North of town, Eagle Beach State Recreation Site opens onto Lynn Canal with views of the Chilkat and Juneau Mountains, and wildlife enthusiasts may spot whales, sea lions, and seals in the adjacent waters. Trails from the central day-use area connect to longer US Forest Service routes that extend up the valley about 6 miles toward Eagle Glacier.
In town, day-trip options include the Mount Roberts Tramway, whale-watching charters out of Auke Bay, the Alaska State Museum, and bear-viewing flights to Admiralty Island or Pack Creek.

Juneau's practical RV season runs mid-May through mid-September. The Eagle Beach campground gate is closed seasonally from October 1st through May 1st, and access to the campground, group camping area, Berry Patch Cabin, and Marten Cabin is walk-in only outside that window. Most private RV parks, including Glacier Nalu Campground Resort, focus on the summer visitor season, though winter RV and boat storage is available on-site at Glacier Nalu, along with long-term stays.
Summer brings the mildest weather and the longest days, with sunset well past 10 p.m. around the solstice. It is also the busiest period: cruise ships dock daily, tour operators book out early, and campground sites fill weeks ahead. Late May and early September are quieter shoulder windows with cooler temperatures and shorter waits.
Fall is the wettest season in Southeast Alaska, and large Pacific storms steer abundant precipitation into the Alaska Panhandle and can be associated with damaging winds. Winter sees snow at sea level, freezing nights, and limited services for road travelers.
How to book a campsite
Glacier Nalu Campground Resort offers back-in RV sites with full hookups and 30-amp service, and takes reservations directly through its website and front office. Summer sites and tiny homes book out well in advance, so travelers targeting July and August should reserve early.
Eagle Beach State Recreation Site is managed by Alaska State Parks. The campground's 16 primitive forested sites are first-come, first-served, with a 7-day stay limit and a 35-foot RV size limit, while the two reservable cabins, Berry Patch and Marten, offer an alternative to tent camping. Reservable elements can be booked through the Alaska State Parks system on ReserveAmerica up to 7 months in advance. Cancellations must be made at least 3 calendar days prior to arrival date for a full refund.
RV travelers should also plan Alaska Marine Highway ferry bookings months in advance, since vehicle deck space for the Juneau routes is limited.
What to expect on the ground
Juneau lies in the heart of the Pacific coastal temperate rainforest, characterized by persistent cloud cover, abundant annual precipitation, and little annual temperature variability. Expect wet days even in July, muddy trailheads, and gear that never fully dries out. Layers, waterproof boots, and rain shells matter more than sun protection.
Glacier Nalu features restrooms, hot showers, coin-operated laundry, complimentary Wi-Fi, common areas with gazebos and propane fire pits, and access to a sauna. It is about 10 miles from downtown Juneau and 3 miles from the Mendenhall Visitor Center, and on the city bus route. Eagle Beach is a different experience: 16 primitive sites, vault toilets, a 35-foot RV length limit, no dump site and no cell service, and active black bear presence. Water is available but under a boil direction.
Bear-aware food storage, bug spray for early summer, and cash or offline maps for the north end of Glacier Highway are all worth packing.
