    Homer, Alaska

    If you’re looking for someplace to camp on a beach where you can enjoy stunning mountain views, glorious sunsets, and whales dancing on the waves—all from right outside your tent’s door—look no further than Alaska’s Homer Spit. Located 230 miles southwest of Anchorage, where Alaska’s Highway 1 ends on a tiny finger of land extending out into Kachemak Bay, this oceanfront retreat rewards those who make the effort to get here. Nature lovers will relish the eagle and wildlife watching, anglers can cast for epic halibut and salmon catches, and foodies will enjoy the village’s farmers’ market and many eateries and art galleries.

    The campground at Homer Spit features 122 campsites where tent and RV campers can make themselves at home across the bay from the glacier-capped peaks of Kenai Peninsula. Campsite options include beachfront tent sites (no hookups), beach view RV sites with electrical hookups, and interior tent and RV sites with electrical or full hookups. Most sites are equipped with picnic tables, and all have access to drinking water, restrooms, showers, laundry facilities and a dump station. The campground has Wifi service, and is within walking distance of most of the town’s shops and restaurants. Sites can accommodate vehicles/trailers up to 40 feet. Rates range from $30–$50/night; reservations recommended.

    Known as the “Halibut Fishing Capital of the World,” anglers can fish from the end of the spit or charter a boat for fishing offshore. No gear, no problem. Many fishing outfitters rent and sell fishing gear. Several wildlife watching tours are available, including tours by air for whale and bear viewing. After a day on the bay, enjoy food and beverages at the world-famous Salty Dawg Saloon, or live music and dancing at Alice’s Champagne Palace. There’s also a few local breweries and a winery for sampling some of the local elixirs. Homer also hosts a variety of fun and flavorful events through the summer worth checking out.

        7. Alaskan Yurt Rentals- China Poot

        Be the first to review!
        Halibut Cove, Alaska

        Explore the last frontier from one of the many Nomad Shelter yurts across the state. From rustic yurt, and B&B's too secluded "glamping" retreats with kayak tours, dog mushing, hiking, fishing, and so much more!

        The China Poot yurt is about a 20-minute ride (~6 miles) from the harbor. It's tucked into the back of the north side of the very shallow China Poot Bay, accessible when the tide provides a minimum of 8 ft of water for most boats to run on (check with your taxi operator about timing). The water adjacent to the yurt offers a good, sheltered anchorage for own-boaters.

        The China Poot is one of the many Yurts offered through Alaskan Yurt Rentals.

        Nice Campground

        We stayed on a beachfront site. There’s not much room between sites, but having a beachfront site gave us plenty of room for the kids to run during the day. Low tides make for great fishing, tide pooling, and star fish watching.

        Homer Spit Campground

        The Famous Homer Spit!

        There are a few city run campgrounds on the spit in Homer.  This mini peninsula juts a few miles out into Kachemak Bay and creates one of the main tourist areas for the town. This is another of Alaska's pot-holed, parking lot camping areas where tents can be set up just off the perimeter and RVs of any size can take up residence within it. Picnic tables and fire rings lie between the parking and the beach and there’s a general esprit de corps of the folks hanging out there.  

        Like many Alaskan camping spots what the site itself lacks in charm, is simply overwhelmed by the spectacular views in any direction. That's why you come here in the first place. The bathroom situation is simple, a couple of port-o-potties with a hand washing station. Recycling and trash dumpsters are right next to the toilets. Water can be filled up for free at the city RV dump station in town, right across from the Post Office on the Sterling Hwy. Payment can be made at the automated permit machine. 

        The lack of any trees made solar power a no-brainer, even on the cloudy days. With our solar suitcase from Renogy and 200W of solar on the roof, we were able to recharge our battery without any issues. 

        There's a great bike path that leads to the many tourist shops, bars and restaurants on the spit. The spit is also a great launching area for kayaking in the ocean side of the spit- launching on the other bay side can be tricky because of tides and mud. Parking along the spit is pretty easy and there are large lots which allow for overnight parking if you are going to use the area as a launching pad for other adventures either on the Kenai or further afield. Homer is known as a particularly good spot for Grizzly Bear tours into Kobuk Valley National Park (the holy grail of grizzly sightings). Be sure to tour the Alaskan Maritime National Wildlife Refuge Visitor’s Center, it’s difficult to get out to the Aleutian Islands, but through the engaging films and interactive displays, you can get a feel for the history and wildlife of these remote areas. 

        Homer has all the services that campers need including grocery stores and good restaurants (we loved Fat Olive and Carmen’s Gelato out on the spit.)  A short drive along East End Road will take you right by Fitz Creek General store, which is a treat for all kinds of cool stuff -- the chocolate muffins alone are worth the drive alone. The village farmer’s market is truly amazing with veggies, baked goods, prepared food, and lots of other arts and crafts.

        Awesome location

        Yes, we were packed in next to our neighbors, but the location was awesome. We had an inside site (all that was left when we rolled up same day) but we were mainly there to walk around the spit and sleep so it was perfect. The staff there were SO nice and friendly and helpful.

        Great views and amenities

        Our second time staying here. There is an amazing ocean and volcano view off a common ground area with a picnic table and fire pit. Eagles soar overhead. Sites are close together but have water, electricity, a small table and fire pit. We didn’t stay in the cabins but they look nice and the property, general store, and washing facilities seem well maintained. Recommend for a night or two when visiting Homer.

        Good Option for the Area

        Enjoyed this location and without reservations, glad to get it. Had reservation at spit campground that was in horrible shape, un-level, crowded...so passed and took a risk on this one. Very accommodating folks. As others have said, the campground is a good stop with wonderful views if the weather cooperates (it did when I was there in August). With a truck/camper combo, dropping the camper there and using the truck to get to the spit and Homer was 15-20 min. Place is well maintained and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly with campground and local information. Found lots to do in the area. Campground is full/crowded in the summer, but site was nice, functional albeit a challenge to back in with the width of the road at my site. Just off the highway so some noise but tolerable. Decent washer/dryers and showers behind office but no food/although that wasn't an issue as we grocery shopped and ate out at some great seafood places (must do). Incident: There is only one road in/out of Homer. There was a bad accident that closed the road for 24 hours so we had to wait another day to get out. Homer and the Kenai was a great visit.

        Best Spit Campground

        Campground is pretty great for being a parking lot (gravel)/RV style place. There is on-site laundry, bathroom and shower facilities that are kept pretty clean.

        Dogs must be leashed at all times while on the premises.

        WiFi is available however Apple products seem to issues connecting to it.

        Gorgeous views…terrible dump station

        We dry camped on the beach front lot, site 98. Views were amazing and the site was clean and level. There is a walking path next to this site, but does not intrude on camping space. Fire pit and picnic table provided.

        The dump station is unlevel, in the wrong direction. There are two sides to pull alongside the dump station and both have the camper leaning away from your dump valves. Needless to say you will not be able to completely dump your tanks. If not for this aspect I would put this campground at a 4-4.5 rating.

        Homer Spit Campground

        The worlds most scenic parking lot campground

        I camped SIX nights at the Homer Spit campground and there were so many great and not so great things about it.  We stayed four nights in site 6 (interior), and two nights in site 104 (on the beach)

        Overall the campground gets a 5. It's super well managed, it's clean and convenient and the view are BREATHTAKING. (the interior sites get a 0 for being scenic)

        There are 3 types of site

        - Beach front (you camp on the beach, and there are no hookups)

        - Beach view (you have a front row beach view and there is a plug in)

        - Interior (you are basically camping in what feels like a walmart parking lot with a view)

        Most people who visit the spit campground are here for 1 or 2 nights max, and about 80% of them are in RVs. There is a strict 11 am checkout and 3pm check in, so the place is pretty empty during the day, and at night looks like an RV lot.  But it's still awesome.

        The sites are small and there is nothing between them besides a log so you know where your boundaries are.  Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are about 150 sites. There is one bathroom which was very clean nearly every single time I used it and it has hot water!  Showers cost 2x per person if you're staying at the campsite and they were FANTASTIC - so clean, and hot, and not timed, and amazing water pressure.

        --- (the negatives)

        - Many of the electrical 110 outlets at the interior sites did not work. This was a small problem for us because we were trying to work in the mornings.

        - There was pretty much nowhere for dishwashing. Dishwashing was forbidden at the main water point, with signs to wash dishes at the hose that was also used for feet rinsing at the beach. This wasn't a problem for most people who were in their RVs - but if you're planning to tent camp and cook, you will likely want a dishwashing bucket/bin.

        - In the morning the main water point was usually overtaken by a line of RV's filling up the water tank. It wasn't a problem unless that was when I wanted to refill my water...

        - The interior sites are not at all scenic. We faced a big dirt pile and a safeway tractor trailer when we were in our campsite. You're staying there for the location, remember, and if you walk 10 feet you will see all the mountains.

        ++ (the positives)

        + You're literally right at the end of Homer Spit at the campground and you can walk to all the shops without having to fight all the other people for parking!

        + The wifi worked across the property with no problems

        + OMG, the view. 

        + If you don't want to make coffee or breakfast, La Baliene and Sue the Bus are just across the street.

        + the team literally checks every site every day, they clean the trash out of the fire pits, and actually make sure that everything works.

        Nice campground with amenities. Wifi is good except when the campground gets more campers like on weekends. Mostly back-in RV sites though there are a few pull through sites.

        Sites are very close to each other but location and views are excellent.

        Favorite Homer Campground

        We’ve camped with these folks for 50 years. The Spit has grown up around them, and it’s not as picturesque as it once was...but it’s still right on the beach, walking distance to all the cool stuff on the spit...and it’s affordable. Nice bathrooms with showers...electric available but limited. They take reservations, which is helpful for weekly campers.

        Awesome camping area, though campsites are really close together. Clean bathrooms and showers. Perfect if you want to spend some time on the spit, salty dawg saloon, restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Great views of the beach/water, we saw otters and seals every morning.

        Camped not exactly at this location but down the road a bit.. tent camping only. $20 a night per tent, per tent. First come, first serve. Pretty stoked I got to see homer before it gets it’s heavy tourist season. Worth checking out, had a nice cup of joe at Coal Town Coffee, cute shops as well.

        Ferry from Homer to Kachemak Bay

        We ferried from Homer, which is a GORGEOUS ride. As mentioned below, we did an out and back hike from the South Grace Ridge trailhead to the summit of the ridge which provided some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen! The yurt is spacious and comfortable with its padded bunks. Such a beautiful experience.

        The yurt is approx. 12 miles from the spit, on the N. shore of Tutka Bay, and is about 100 yds. from the drop-off on a rocky beach and is protected from breezes by the mature forest found in Tutka Bay. A solid gravel bottom provides good places to anchor your own boat. Suggested trips: The yurt is very close to the South Grace Ridge trailhead. Hike up switchbacks through the old growth forest, traverse the alder and grass transition zones, and find the alpine zone at about 1800’. There are spectacular views from the sharp ridges you encounter as you head N. towards the summit of the ridge. Look for rock ptarmigan in the alpine areas, mt. goats and marmot. Tutka Bay is also a perfect place to kayak, weather permitting. Go S.E. to the head of the bay and look for beaches and coves exposed at low tide that will provide landing spots. Head N.W. and just outside the mouth of Tutka Bay you’ll enter Little Tutka and find the Herring islands. You can also use the yurt as a starting place for a multi-day kayak trip, heading up the bay.

        Beach front camping

        I've heard that the beach front sites go quickly at this campground, but if you can get one I highly recommend it! If you are tent camping you can pitch your tent right on the beach (be tide aware). Beach sites are $35 and other sites are $30. Bathrooms are clean and have lots of sinks and stalls. Showers are $1 and are not timed. Laundry is $2 to wash and $1.50 for 30 mins. of drying. There is also a gift shop and WiFi here.
