This hidden gem sits alongside the Alaska Highway between Fort Nelson and Watson Lake, offering 15 sites tucked into mature spruce forest. The real draw is the natural hot springs just a short walk from camp — perfect for soaking road-weary bones after long highway miles. Sites are spacious with fire rings and picnic tables, though facilities are basic with pit toilets and no showers.
Access is directly off the Alaska Highway via a short gravel spur. Open May through September, though the springs flow year-round. No reservations taken — it’s first-come, first-served. Gets busy with Alaska Highway travelers during July and August.
