Common questions

How do I book a National Forest campground in Alaska?

Of the 66 National Forest campgrounds on record, 35 book through Recreation.gov and 31 are first-come, first-served with no reservations.

What is the stay limit at National Forest campgrounds in Alaska?

Where the agency states one: 14 consecutive nights (1 campground). Check each campground's page for its own rule.

Does the interagency pass work at National Forest campgrounds?

The pass itself covers entrance and day-use fees on National Forest land, not the nightly camping fee; the Senior Pass may give 50 percent off some amenity fees, camping among them (nps.gov, read 2026-09-26).
