Brooks Camp Campground

Brooks Camp Campground stands within Katmai National Park, offering direct access to the Brooks River and Naknek Lake for outdoor activities.

The campground area gained recognition following the Novarupta volcanic eruption of 1912, which transformed the surrounding landscape into the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.

The National Park Service maintains educational programs about local wildlife and conducts regular presentations on indigenous traditions connected to the Brooks River region.

Visitors must complete a mandatory bear safety orientation and obtain permits for activities within the Brooks River Corridor between June and October.

The campground provides specialized food storage containers and designated cooking areas to prevent encounters with the numerous brown bears that frequent the location.
