Accommodation: Camping $10/night
Bus within Juneau: I think it was $1.50/trip
Food: probably $15-20/day
Juneau is only accessible by boat and plane. I arrived at the ferry terminal, inside I spoke to a guy at the information desk who told me how to get the bus to the Mendenhall Lake Campground. Getting from the ferry terminal to the campground requires about a 3Km hike along the highway to a bus stop at De Harts store (all locals pronounce it "dee Harts"). You want the bus going up the hill. And after you get off the bus you have about another 2Km hike to the campground.
For backpackers going from the ferry terminal to the campground food choices are limited so plan ahead and pack an extra dehydrated meal or buy food at De Harts because that will be the only option other than taking the bus into town.
