Stays are limited to 14 days

Reservation Details

Reservation Info: No reservations. Campground is first-come, first-served. Campers are required to attend a camper orientation to register for a site.

Regulations Overview: The campground is located about 1/4 mile by trail from the main dock in Bartlett Cove. It has specific sites, a warming shelter, outhouses, and food caches. Campground Permits and a camper orientation are required for camping in the campground. Group camping is permitted in the group camping area for groups of 12 or more. Camping outside of the campground is prohibited within one mile of Bartlett Cove. Water and garbage cans are located outside the Visitor Information Station. There are three food caches where all scented items are required to be stored. Cooking and eating are only allowed in the intertidal zone (the area on the beach between the high and low tide lines). Never leave food unattended, even when shuttling gear.

  • adaInfo= The Bartlett Cove Campground is accessible by foot traffic only. Paths through the campground are well-compacted soil and level. There are no wheelchair-accessible outhouses in the campground, but at the nearby Visitor Information Station (1/4 mile), there are two modern restrooms that are fully accessible. Nearby you will find a few short trails, a public dock, campground, and Glacier Bay Lodge. Pathways in Bartlett Cove are not paved, and may have exposed roots and rocks present. While navigable by many new wheelchairs, not all trails meet ADA standards. An exception is the beautiful wooden boardwalk that provides access to a viewing deck overlooking a serene pond. This 1/2-mile section of the Forest Trail is accessible and easy to negotiate.
