Fortuna Pond Boondocking

031
  UPDATE Jan 2023 - closed to camping, day use only

Boondocking  spots at Fortuna Pond are located along the shoreline with nice views of the water. This is a popular site with RVs lined up fairly close together but it’s peaceful and quiet with the exception of noise from small planes late in the evening and occasional bombing noise from the air force range. There are  some good sites nestled under the trees where small RVs and tenters who want a shaded spot can camp.

  Amenities include an accessible porta-potti and a trash dumpster but nothing else.

 Big rigs will fit but some of the short access roads are steep and uneven. Overhanging tree branches can make circling the lake impossible. Visitors with large RVs may want to camp on the north side of the lake and use caution when turning onto the road around the lake. The road from Ave. 7 E follows the levee and is 3.4 miles of washboard dirt so the trip in is rough. The directions on the BLM website are very accurate.

  1. Tried spotting you in some of the other blogs showing the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous but I see you two are about as camera shy as Marcia and I. I actually got her in a picture last night....way off in the distance with the picture focused on Bubba and Skruffy. Glad your having a great winter, it was in the mid-50's here yesterday, and low 60's today with chilly nights. --Dave (GoingRvWay.com)

    1. I spotted Marcia in that picture! We're actually in the Rubber Tramp photo essay post ( two posts ago) - Tony's in there twice!

      It looks like you two are getting excited about your Alaska trip. I'll be following along. :-)
