I have never been in Seward but have flown over it a number of times. I have always wanted to see it as my father told about landing in Seward before heading out to the Aleutians during WWII. He was impressed with it's beauty. As far as camping out with 999 other people, I would only do it for the sake of my children or grandchildren. Very spoiled by Southeast Alaska where there are so many serene and beautiful places to camp without seeing another human being for weeks!
