Welcome to Camp Redington

Alaskan Lifestyle Tours, Hostel, Campground & Showers

Are you the kind of traveler who likes to meet the people who live in the places where you travel? Do you enjoy eating the local food, walking the local paths and listening to the local lore?

If you're looking for an authentic Alaskan experience, then Camp Redington is the place for you. Your host, Tim Redington, is an Alaskan Sourdough with a lifetime of stories about surviving in the last Frontier. His camground is his home, and in true Alaskan hospitality, his visitors are all welcomed into his place like family.

Camp Redington itself is only ten acres, but it's less than a mile from the great Copper River and borders the biggest national park in the United States (and Canada). The 230 mile drive (or flight) from Anchorage to Kenny Lake offers the most scenic interior views in Alaska. The Wrangell St. Elias National Park is 23 million acres and four of the highest mountains in the northern hemisphere are right outside our back door. Copper River Reds and King Salmon are in abundance here, and harvesting the fish is a major part of the people's lives. Tim's camp is fisherman friendly and there's always something to eat here. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to experience what life is like for rural Alaskans.

We ask our guests to please consider the following before they make their plans to visit:

Camp Redington is a smoker friendly campground, although there is no smoking allowed inside the hostel rooms. It's also a working camp, which means visitors may be exposed to a variety of dead things, especially fish guts in the summertime.

There are usually 20 to 30 sled dogs in Tim's racing kennel, and this means you can expect to hear the sounds of dogs barking.

There is nothing antiseptic or "false front" about Tim's place. This is the harsh, real Alaska that is often hidden from Alaska's visitors. Alchohol is permitted on the premises, and there is no curfew.

While it is our goal to make everyone feel safe, free and comfortable during their stay, there will be nights when people sit talking and making music by the fires way past "sunset." Fishing goes on 24 hours a day. It's usually very peaceful and still, but vehicles do pull in and out when the fish are in. If you are overly sensitive to smells and occasional noise, this probably isn't a place you'd be happy staying overnight in the summertime.

Camp Redington offers a variety of low-cost accomodations, tours, and survival training seminars. What we lack in luxury, we make up for with heart, soul and good eatin'.

This is 100% Alaskan territory; we guarantee you'll have a 100% Alaskan experience here.
