About this campground
Jack Bay State Marine Park is located 15 miles from Valdez, southeast of Valdez Narrows. The uplands of the park consist of alder, muskeg, salt marsh and old growth forest of spruce and hemlock. The northern arm of Jack Bay within the marine park becomes shallow one-quarter mile out and caution is recommended. Although the bay can be used as a fair weather anchorage, it is not protected.
What campers say
Jack Bay State Marine Park offers a small, well-equipped cabin in a scenic, wildlife-rich bay. The cabin has a reliable kerosene heater — bring fuel and a small transfer pump, as refilling the storage tank can be awkward. There’s an air mattress but visitors may prefer to bring sleeping pads for extra comfort. The shoreline is shallow, so plan to use a raft or small skiff to reach larger boats; the bay is generally calm and suits small craft with easy anchoring at high tide. Cell service has been reported at the cabin, making it a peaceful, convenient getaway.
