About this campground
Nestled on the pristine shores of Wrangell Island, this thoughtfully designed single-occupancy campsite offers an intimate wilderness experience with full accessibility features. Here, solitude meets convenience as you immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of Southeast Alaska, where every amenity has been crafted to ensure all visitors can embrace the magic of the Tongass.
The Three Sisters Overlook Campsite offers basic camping accommodations suitable for solo campers.
Historical SignificanceWrangell Island holds centuries of stories within its ancient forests and coastal waters. This land has been home to the Tlingit people for thousands of years, and their rich cultural heritage is woven into every inlet and mountain peak. The surrounding waters once bustled with fur traders and gold seekers, leaving behind a tapestry of human history against the backdrop of timeless wilderness.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dynamic maritime climate of Southeast Alaska, where misty mornings give way to sun-dappled afternoons and the ever-changing weather paints the landscape in dramatic hues. Summer brings long days perfect for wildlife watching, while spring and fall showcase nature's transitions with migrating birds and spawning salmon.
ElevationPerched at sea level along the dramatic coastline, the campsite offers effortless access to both forest and shore. The gentle terrain makes exploration comfortable while still providing those breathtaking vantage points that make Alaska's Inside Passage legendary.
Natural Features and SceneryWake up to panoramic vistas across Zimovia Strait, where jagged peaks rise like ancient sentinels from the emerald waters. This front-row seat to Alaska's natural theater offers ever-changing scenes: eagles soaring overhead, seals playing in the kelp beds below, and distant mountains wreathed in clouds. The surrounding old-growth forest creates a natural amphitheater of towering Sitka spruce and western hemlock.
Geological RegionSet within the vast Tongass National Forest—America's largest national forest—this Wrangell Island gem overlooks the pristine waters of Zimovia Strait. This temperate rainforest ecosystem represents one of the last intact old-growth forests on Earth, where glacially carved fjords meet ancient trees in a landscape sculpted by ice, time, and the relentless Pacific storms.
