Once run by the state but is now managed by VAA. The beautiful Blueberry Lake campground on Thompson Pass has spectacular 360-degree mountain views. 20 sites are available on a paved loop road near the lake. Vault toilets and a water pump are available for use. Several sites work well as group camping sites. There are no RV hookups or pull-throughs. The McAllister cabin, at the mouth of Shoup Bay Marine State Park, is best accessed by kayak or boat. There is a narrow, tide dependent channel that leads to the inner lagoon where Moraine and Kittiwake cabins are located. Kayaks recommended for access.

Blueberry Lake Camp Site 13

This is a Don’t Miss Campground!

This is one of the nicest Alaska State Campgrounds we have stayed in this summer. We have been camping in site’s throughout Alaska for the last 3 months! The sites were clean, bathrooms were clean without any odors and the lake was lovely as were the views. We liked it so much we stayed 4 days.

Shoup Bay - Kittiwake Cabin

I know stuff grows like crazy down there, but there needs to be some serious pruning done to restore the. view to the bay. We did quite a bit, as you couldn’t even see the bay or glacier from the cabin, but it needs more. Ran in one of the crews doing some trimming at the McAllister cabin, but sadly was very unimpressed with their work - stuff cut off two feet above ground, all trimmings left in trail, apparently volunteer labor and boat

Blueberry Lake Camp Site 8

Awesome campground. Outhouses are clean. We brought our own fireweed but lots of folks seeking wood (we shared ours). Might be good to either stock some onsite or make it clear on web site there us none at the camp. We stayed in Site 9 for part of our stay. Great site. But tough for folks to figure out where the trail starts with our rv blocking the sign that’s set back. A sign a bit removed from the site night help. Would also help to have a sign up the hill behind site 9 because many folks that go up trail wander back down right thru site 9.

Blueberry Lake Camp Site 15

Beautiful spot, campground was clean and bathrooms on point. Wish we could have fished, our neighbors landed a dozen trout. Someone nabbed our reserved site but the campground was undersubscribed so we slotted into another. No biggie , but not sure what we would have done with no host and no cell service.

Shoup Bay - Kittiwake Cabin

Good trip

This is the third time we have stated these cabins in Shoup Bay. We travel down from Fairbanks and enjoy a day or two in the Valdez area and then travel out to these cabins usually for two nights. We enjoy paddle boarding and zodiac-ing around in the bay in front of the cabins, we also hike over to the glacier and enjoy watching all of the waterfalls come down the mountain behind the cabins. we found the cabins to be comfortable and dry. We found the trail in between the cabins had been recently cleared about 8 to 10 feet wide. Just remember to bring a couple of gallons of diesel fuel for the drip stoves. Or kerosene. A wonderful In state cabin trip. Will be back to do it again.
