LaVonne’s Fish Camp is a small, intimate, off-the-beaten-path fish camp on the Chukchi Sea, five miles from Kotzebue, Alaska. The camp has an extraordinary view – immediately in front is a continuous gravel beach that runs around the entire Baldwin Peninsula. The water is warm enough for local kids and hardy guests to swim. Behind the camp is a 250-foot clay bluff that connects to the open tundra that seems to go forever. A traditional subsistence salmon drying rack shares the beach with a fish smoker, processing sheds and a 900-foot salmon net. There are no neighbors nearby, though local folks stop to chat on their way to hunting, fishing, or picking berries. Twenty-four hours of daylight allow ample time for visiting with local people, hiking on the tundra, birding and beachcombing.
