When the call of the wild beckons, the Natural Habitat Adventures Alaska Bear Camp offers a unique opportunity to observe Coastal Brown Bears in their natural habitat. You’ll be privileged to witness these magnificent animals’ daily lives in a sustainable base camp designed for bear-watching. This is a chance to immerse yourself in the pristine natural habitat of Alaska’s coastal grizzly bears, with a strong focus on conservation and sustainability. The camp provides comfortable wilderness accommodations with minimal impact on the environment, and the scenic flight to the camp offers breathtaking views of glacier-covered volcanoes, sapphire waters, and snow-capped mountains.

While some camping may sound outside their comfort zone, Natural Habitat Adventure Alaska Bear Camp is more like clamping than camping. Their private fly-in camp is located on the beach, where bears stroll by searching for a snack from the shore or roaming to their next spot to forge in the meadow. The roomy tents are more of a cabin setup than what we consider a tent. Each is furnished with two beds, a porta-potty, and a heater. The bathhouse has two private stalls with a shower and a state-of-the-art composting toilet. For a campsite, this truly brings creature comforts. The dinner area has a long table perfect for mealtime gatherings, guide presentations, snacks, and happy hour after excursions. There are also charging stations for cameras and phones in the dining tent.

Excursions to view the bears are morning, mid-day, and evening. Luckily for us, daylight extends late into the evening when visiting Alaska. Perfect for catching bears late in the evening when they’re grazing and roaming near the viewing stands. Look from the second or ground levels, where watching is perfect from either vantage. Natural Habitat Adventures Alaska Bear Camp is built on a historic homestead on the ancestral land of the Dena’ina people; the parcel was grandfathered in to remain private when Lake Clark National Park was established in 1980. The site allows for immersive Coastal brown bear encounters for Nat Hab guests alone.
