About
Blueberry Lake State Recreation Site is an Alaska State Park campground with 15 sites near Valdez. Reservable, but through a private concessionaire's own booking site, not Alaska State Parks directly (DNR's table flags this campground "* = third party management; reservations are NOT managed by Alaska State Parks").
Fees
$25 per night (dnr.alaska.gov, no flat statewide rate - fees range $20-$35/night system-wide). Rustic/dry camping - no electric or water hookups (Alaska State Parks campgrounds statewide have none: "Showers and flushing bathroom facilities are not available. Outhouses are provided," per dnr.alaska.gov/parks/faq.htm). Pets are allowed at Alaska State Parks, subject to statewide policy: "Pets are welcome at state parks and campgrounds if leashed and accompanied by the owner at all times; unleashed dogs are allowed in the backcountry but must be within voice command." (dnr.alaska.gov/parks/faq.htm, confirmed live.)
