Overnight Camping in Prince William Sound

Kimberlin’s Water Taxi provides transportation for campers to all of the cabins in the Shoup Bay State Marine Park. Salmon fishing, hiking, spectacular scenery and wildlife viewing are some of the recreational opportunities available within this marine park.

Below is information about the State maintained cabins that are available to everyone. These public use cabins are great for campers who want the essentials provided so they don’t have to pack in all their gear.

Shoup Bay State Marine Park is on the north side of Port Valdez, approximately 8.5 miles from Valdez. The park encompasses most of Shoup Bay and the southern half of Shoup Lake, also called the inner lagoon. The bay is connected to the tidally influenced lake by a shallow river that flows either way, depending on the tide. Ice from Shoup Glacier calves into the lake.

Each cabin has two sets of full size bunk beds with a capacity to sleep eight people, with the two lower bunks being accessible. A table, benches and counter are furnished, along with an oil stove - Use only No. 1 fuel oil - NO #2 diesel and NO gasoline! Please follow lighting instructions in cabin. The latrine is located almost directly behind each cabin. Plan on providing your own toilet paper should none be found at the latrine.
