A great camping option close to Wasilla or Palmer, this lakeside campground fills up on the weekend with Alaskans. The lake is a great place for kids to learn to fish; there are plenty of arctic char, rainbow trout, and grayling in the waters.

There are 10 sites here, good for RVs or tents. They all overlook the lake, which is open to canoes, kayaks, and fishing. You can rent a boat here, or mountain bike/hike the trails, which connect to the Matanuska Greenbelt system.
