Camp Run-A-Muck is on the left side of the
street shortly after entering Hyder, Alaska from Stewart, British Columbia.
Border Patrol did NOT stop traffic arriving into Alaska, but did stop
traffic leaving Hyder back into Stewart, on this date.
When the two RV Gypsies were here in 2009, they stayed at a nice campground
in Steward, just before the border. But this time they decided to stay
at Camp Run-A-Muck in Hyder, Alaska. The Steward campground was a lot
nicer in the opinion of Lee and Karen Duquette.
Camp Run-A-Muck is only 3 miles from the US Forest Service Bear Viewing Bridge and 22 miles from Salmon Glacier. It was the only campground in Hyder.
Camp Run-A-Muck
lists U.S. TV Reception as an amenity. They technically were not lying, but only ONE TV station came in. It also listed free Wi-Fi and gave the two RV Gypsies a code, but it did not connect to the internet at all.
Lee Duquette got a pull-thru 30 amp full-hook-up site. The road and
sites were gravel/dirt combination but nothing special. (see photos
below). Other amenities were: laundromat, free firewood, secure 24-hour
host, shuttle service, fishing and bear viewing information, book exchange.
There were 65 sites total, 52 of which are pull-thru sites.
If the two RV Gypsies used their cell phones it would be considered
roaming charges at $1 a minute. They did not even check to see if their
cell phones worked. |
