The Best Camping Near Cooper Landing, Alaska

During the height of the fishing season this campground fills up fast. Get there early in the week for a chance for a spot. This campground has all the usually amenities, pit toilets, port cell service, and dispersed camping spots. 

Fills up quick

We loved this campground! Perfect for two adults in Campervan that like privacy. We stayed in the first site and while it was sort of close to the road the noise wasn’t bad because you have the river so close. Perhaps not the best site for small children. But with limited access to the kenai, we were happy to have our own spot and no one walking though our site at all.

Small campground right on the river

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

Lots of Space

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 ...

Lovely convenient campground

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.
