River views near a bbq restaurant

There is a south campground along the river and a north loop along the creek. We stayed in the south camp at the end of September so it was “no services no fees” at that time. There’s a bbq restaurant across the street. There are food storage lockers at each site because of bears. Most other campers were there to fish.

Lovely convenient campground

It's salmon fishing season and you can tell people are staying here to fish the Kenai River, which is great. It was a very convenient campsite off the highway on the way to Homer, in the national forest. only $23 a night to camp or $11.50 if your a senior or have an access pass. Great prize for Alaska, but of course no amenities at site such as water, electric etc. It's a dry spot.

Good size sites and level spots with picnic table and fire pit. Enjoyed our night here ...

Lots of Space

Very basic campground with no amenities. Lots of space between sites with fast moving water on the north side.
