Remote Camps
Remote Camps: Imagine casting dry flies to rising grayling and into the shimmer of the midnight sunset. Imagine a peaceful morning of sipping coffee in a remote setting of wild Alaska and then hooking into majestic king salmon, full of rod-bending power. Ahh, the stories you’ll have to tell when you return home. Crystal Creek Lodge offers two exclusive remote camps options for your next Alaskan adventure. Set between snow-peaked mountains, boreal forests, vast tundra, and the sea, our remote bush camps offer unique opportunities to experience intimate fishing in the untouched wilderness of Alaska. So, if you love the outdoors and the feeling of being closer to nature, let us know how we can fit a remote camp into your schedule.
Guests may experience one of two remote camp destinations during their visit. NOTE: visits to these camps are by advance guest request only and should be considered only by those who desire a hardy wilderness experience and can bear leaving the lodge’s luxury for a night. All camps have BASIC comforts. Camps are limited to four persons per destination per night and on a first-request basis.
