| The McNeil bear viewing season runs from mid-June through late
August. Applications must be postmarked by March 1.
You may also apply for "standby" slots in April. Lottery fees are
$20 per person, and lottery winners will pay an additional $250 user
fee. Successful applicants will spend 4 days camping at McNeil
River. There is a campground area where visitors sleep (bring your
own tent, food and gear) and a cook shed for food preparation and
storage. Click here to apply for a
