Bings Landing State Recreation Site

Alaska State Parks operates Bings Landing State Recreation Site in Sterling, providing campers with direct access to the Kenai River. The campground runs from May through September, accommodating visitors during Alaska's prime outdoor season.

One reviewer noted some confusion about the location, mentioning that the site connects to Big Lake rather than being situated directly in Sterling as the name suggests. The facility offers water access, making it a functional base for anglers and boaters exploring the Kenai Peninsula. Campers can also find Big Lake North State Rec Area nearby for additional options. Reserve ahead during peak summer months when Alaska's short camping season draws heavy use.

This is Big Lake not Bings

This is actually Big Lake. Bing’s Landing is in Sterling, AK.

This (Big Lake) is a great campground and can be reserved at Great Holidays Campgrounds. Worth a visit.
