Big Creek Base Camp |

Located 35 miles northwest of Petersburg on the north shore of Kupreanof Island, our Big Creek Camp is situated on a quarter mile long pebble beach on Frederick Sound. The Kupreanof Island coastline offers miles of beaches, and coves to explore by sea kayak and the land offers lush forests for hiking and great creeks for exploring.
Kayakers are often afforded an opportunity to paddle near a variety of marine mammals; the rich waters of Frederick Sound attract stellar sea lions, porpoises, harbor seals and magnificent Pacific humpback whales. For those interested in doing some land-based exploring, our neighbors at Big Creek Camp include black bear, moose, deer, mink and wolf.
Low tide exposes a field museum of intertidal plants and animals among the tidal pools of the beach. River otters search the beach looking for a dinner of crab and clams while bald eagles keep a watchful eye, searching for salmon returning to spawn in nearby creeks.
After an exciting day of exploring, we'll spend our evening recalling the days events by a warm fire on the beach. Big Creek is n explorer's dream and a memorable adventure for all ages!
