Come and be our guests this summer at Glacier View Campground. We are open Memorial Day weekend through mid September with July and August being the most popular months of travel. Be prepared for hot days and cool nights as temperatures can easily vary 40 degrees. Layered clothing is recommended and don't forget the bug dope. The town of McCarthy is a one mile walk from camp across Kennicott River foot bridges. The mining town of Kennicott is five miles further up the hill and is accessible by Van Service, Bicycles, or on Foot. Activities in the area include Glacier Hiking, Flight Seeing, Rafting, and Wildlife Viewing. Look for our sign at mile 59 and we'll see you where the road ends and the adventure begins!

Local bluegrass band "Midget Ridge" performs in McCarthy on weekends.

The foot bridge replaced the hand pulled Tram across the river in 1995

The Kennicott River floods once a summer in late July when the "Ice Damn" on Hidden Lake Breaks!

The McCarthy Road has undergone several upgrades in past years and can be driven safely in a little over two hours.
