James P ★ 4 · Jul 2025Camping sites appear to get little use. Over all, our stay was comfortable, but the pull-in were very muddy, the grate over the fire pit was bent so badly it was unuseable, and the picnic table had moss growing in all of the gaps, causing it to hold moisture instead of drain between the slats. The trails were nice, restrooms were clean, good water available.
Barbara W ★ 4 · Jun 2025Beautiful campground!! Very friendly and helpful host:) Convenient location to town with a beautiful drive. The estuary boardwalk trail is a must do, as is the drive up Harbor Mountain. Our site was located near the artesian well which was frequented by locals getting drinking water. This and the estuary in general generated a lot of campground traffic. We were glad the gates were closed overnight to cut down the traffic. There was no garbage collection available, so each day we "donated" to a different public day use site garbage. The RV campground down the road offered showers with a donation.
Stephanie P ★ 5 · Jun 2024Stayed at this campground in mid June 2024 and loved it! Current campground host was wonderful, helpful, and kept grounds in great, clean shape. Campsites offer lots of vegetation for privacy from other visitors. Gates closed at 9p, reopened at 7a to help keep campground quiet without "drive throughs" all night. Host shares gate code upon check-in so campers can get in and out if needed. Artisan well with potable water accessible throughout campground. Along with bear proof food storage boxes. Multiple clean vault restrooms throughout as well. Firewood sold at host site for a very reasonable price! Beautiful place and cannot wait to go back!! Thank you, USFS!!

Starrigavan Campsites sit at the end of Halibut Point Road about seven miles northeast of downtown Sitka, roughly a three-quarter-mile (about a two-minute) drive from the Alaska Marine Highway ferry terminal; because Sitka has no road connections to the road system, access to the island is by ferry or plane. The primitive but fully accessible campground contains 34 campsites in all: 19 sites set up to accommodate both RVs and tents and 15 tent-only sites. Individual campsites have gravel tent pads and parking spurs (one site is pull-through), picnic tables and campfire rings, and several sites look out over Starrigavan Bay while others sit closer to Starrigavan Creek. Two small group tent sites hold up to 20 people each and include covered cooking shelters with two picnic tables, a large grill and a fire ring with two log benches. Vault toilets, drinking water, bear-proof food lockers and seasonal trash collection are provided; firewood is available for a small fee and the maximum RV length accommodated is 38 feet. A dump station is located in Sitka, seven miles away, and the Starrigavan Creek Cabin is listed separately for cabin rentals. The recreation area around the campsites spreads across temperate rainforest, estuary and marine shoreline, with hemlock and spruce canopy, salmonberry thickets and mossy understory. Trails from the campground include the Estuary Life Boardwalk, the Forest and Muskeg Trail and the Mosquito Cove Trail, plus a network of interconnecting paths and service roads that make the area good for short hikes, birding and photography. Saltwater and freshwater fishing opportunities exist nearby check Alaska Department of Fish and Game for seasons and permits and paddlers frequently launch for half- or full-day trips to Katlian Bay and the Siginaka Islands; wildlife you might encounter ranges from bald eagles and river otters to spawning coho and pink salmon, Sitka black-tailed deer and, seasonally, brown bear. Because some services are seasonal (trash collection) and certain sites and the cabin are managed through Forest Service and Recreation.gov channels, check the Tongass National Forest or Recreation.gov for current fees, reservation rules and seasonal availability before you go; bring rain gear and bear-aware food storage practices appropriate to a coastal Alaskan rainforest.
