A beautiful campground, adjoining lake and nature trail. Absolutely worth the trip to camp in such a beautiful place. Site 7 is right on the lake, but beware, the view comes with an asterisk. If it rains a lot, the tent pad is very prone to flooding. My site became a waterbed after one full day of rain.

Big trees! Plenty of TP, clean and safe. Great trail around the lake.

Camped at Signal Creek for two weeks late August - early September. This is a nice campground...very clean and an attendant lives on site. The outhouses are clean and private, minimalistic with only a toilet, still better than a lot of camp grounds.
Just a few tips...
1) It's Ketchikan...it rains a lot...for days without stopping. Avoid any of the campsites by the lake and in the middle of the campground. We were at #7, but woke up with the lake in our campsite after two days of rain. We moved to #14, which did not flood (just a singular puddle). From what I saw, #8, #12, and #14 did not flood. Avoid #6, as it floods super quick.
2) Ward Lake walking trails go right through the campground. It gets noisey sometimes. Do not stay in front of a water pump, as they fascinate the children, who play with it all day making a loud metal banging noise. So no #7.
3) Bears visit the campsite. Store your food correctly.
4) Bring a tarp to put over your tent, even if it is "waterproof."
