Words are hard to find to describe the beauty and serenity of Wrangell Mountain Lodge. If you are…read morelooking for a true Alaska experience, this is the place to find it along the McCarthy road (Wrangell Saint Elias National park). The cabins are beautiful and the Hosts, James and Christina are best in class. Such nice, warm and friendly people . The breakfast is one of the highlights of our entire Alaskan adventure, great food , and the breakfast conversation with James and Christina was fun and very educational. They have lived a very adventurous life and had some great stories to tell. I also want to compliment James on sending us some top-notch information ahead of time on what to expect on an Alaskan adventure and how to prepare for the trip. Thank you James and Christina for a stay that we will never forget! Don and Chris - Aurora Ohio

I don't even know where to begin! We had the best time at Wrangell Mountain Lodge. McCarthy Road…read morewas not as rough as everyone makes it sound. Just take it easy and your tires will be fine! Don't let the partially paved/partially dirt road stop you from staying here! We stayed in the Bear Cabin and our friends stayed in the Fishing Cabin. Both cabins were incredibly comfortable. The cabins had rustic wilderness decor with comfortable beds. Every morning started with an incredible breakfast cooked by hosts James and Cristina. We enjoyed huge home cooked breakfasts and great conversation with them. The property is beautiful and surrounded by mountains. Wrangell Mountain Lodge is the perfect place to experience the quiet serenity of Wrangell-St. Elias with modern comfort and conveniences. We didn't want to leave!!

There are not many amenities (there is an outhouse with some hilarious/awesome things on the wall to read while you...do your thing), but the views are incredible. Bring your own water, food, etc. They do sell firewood here for $10 though. I love being about to walk 1/2 mile into town and I love being able to hear the rushing sound of the river. The attendants are always warm and friendly people too. If you have a low clearance vehicle, you need to be careful driving around on the right/south side of the camping areas, there are some mighty big rocks!

This place offers cabins with a self selection dining cabin that provides a great breakfast and also allows you to cook and most importantly make a decent cuppa tea!

We booked a full day private glacier hike for our family of 4 (13 yo daughter and 10 yo son) and…read morethoroughly enjoyed our trip with Emelina. She is an all around incredible human with so many life experiences under her belt at a very young age. She knows glaciers! And we all got such an education from her. She was super patient with our kids (and their parents hahaha!) the entire (very long) day. She structured the day completely around our pace and our interests. The glacier is, of course, spectacularly beautiful and we got to see quite a bit of it. The hike in and out is also incredibly beautiful! We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend both KWG and Emelina!

Wendy was a good guide and we felt safe the entire time. We did the half day hike…read more However I would say the hike is not completely as advertised. The photo on their website shows a beautiful blue lake which we did not go to. You just go wherever the guides take you that day. Personally I felt like we were hardly even on the glacier for very long, we went maybe 200 yards on it, the rest is just a normal Alaska hike you can do anywhere. Honestly we could've just rented the crampons and done it ourselves.

My first stay here was Labor Day weekend, 2016. I arrived with no reservation but was able to…read moresecure a campsite with a great view of the glacier. It didn't have a picnic table as they were taken by all of those with reservations. Side note, that site does have a picnic table as of today. This year, I made sure to make a reservation 2 weeks in advance and I was extremely pleased by the large, private site provided to us. Great customer service as always. This is McCarthy, which is very remote, so understandably there isn't any trash service and you have to take your trash back home you with. No big deal. Make sure to keep your trash and food secured in your vehicle as not to attract squirrels and bears. (Especially the squirrels, they are quick little buggers and jumped in my SUV while I was setting up camp.) There is only one outhouse for the whole campground at the entrance which is slightly inconvenient. This is no frills camping which is how camping should be. Each site has a fire ring and flat surface for a tent, most have a picnic table. It's only $15 a night which is cheap. A short, 10-15 minute walk to the footbridge. It's wooded and private, which is important to me. I want to feel like I'm camping by in the woods by myself, not exposed with strangers. I plan to return here every year.

They messed up our reservation, not the friendliest staff, the grounds were mostly cobble stone. Most of the picnic tables were in bad shape. The view of the glacier is from the entry way, not at the campsites. One star is for the fire pits made out of the cobble stone.
