Natural Habitat Adventures (Nat Hab), a conservation travel company in partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), has unveiled major upgrades at Alaska Bear Camp with the introduction of 10 new en-suite wooden cabins and an expanded timber-framed dining room and lounge.
Set on a 15-acre private inholding within Lake Clark National Park, accessible only by bush plane or boat, Alaska Bear Camp provides accommodations exclusive to Nat Hab guests. Overlooking Chinitna Bay, one of the world’s best places to observe brown bears in their natural habitat, the camp has been transformed from high-end expedition tents to a deluxe wilderness stay with added comforts and amenities.
Each new cabin has floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the bay and the bears that frequent its shores. Cabins have flush toilets, sinks with hot running water, propane heaters, and comfortable beds with heavy comforters and blankets. Hot showers are available in an adjacent bathhouse. Cabins also include electrical outlets for charging cameras and devices, which were previously available only in the main dining tent.
Also debuting in 2026 is a new timber-framed lounge and dining space with a glass wall and garage-style doors that open to a 16-foot deck with fire pits and patio seating. Bear Camp guests enjoy chef-prepared meals made with locally sourced ingredients, including fresh-caught Alaskan salmon.
Guests reach Bear Camp on a private chartered bush plane from Homer, crossing Cook Inlet and passing glaciers and volcanic peaks before landing on a remote beach where bears are often seen digging for clams. Guided by Nat Hab’s naturalist expedition leaders, guests spend their days observing brown bears as they forage, roam and nurture their cubs in the Alaskan wilderness.
The camp is featured on Nat Hab’s signature Alaska Bear Camp trip, as well as select itineraries of the “Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Safari,” which also includes Denali and Kenai Fjords national parks. Specialized Photo Expedition departures are available for both trips, led by expert wildlife photographers.
