Just west of Tok Alaska on the Alcan this easy to get to state park/state rec. site is set along a nice lake. There is a small beach area with grills and tables. Also a simple boat launch. The campground has about 15 dry sites, many against the lake shore. The access road from the Alcan was between 1/4 and 1/2 mile long down a small hill. The campground is split into 2 lanes going each way along the shoreline. There is one pit toilet which was very clean. There is a camp host cabin and campsite, but from the overgrowth around it, I'm assuming it has not been used in some time. Some of the sites are ones you can just pull up to along the lake shore, while others are cut into the trees as back in sites. The one camping book has it listed with fresh water available, but I cant remember seeing any water outlets. Really not a bad place to spend the night for $15. Looking out over the lake, or jumping in your kayak for a paddle is very easy from the water front sites that sit level with the waters edge.
