    Whiskey Point Cabins & RV Park

    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.

    Kasilof River Special Use Area

    Fishing hot spot

    The special use area was open for Subsistence fishing - and made for an easy place to camp outside of Kenai. Not really a scenic site, but efficient with trash and porta potties. Most other campers were local with big set ups for the fishing days.

    Diamond M Ranch Resort

    Farmyard camping

    For starters my children love this campground. It is fun filled with animals, bicycle rentals, basketball court, playground, seasonal berry picking, eagles nest close by, caribou viewing, balcony viewing area, fire rings and fishing is nearby in the Kenai River. The campsites are well groomed with clean bathrooms/shower rooms. The hosts are more than welcoming and make your visit pleasant. There isn’t much to privacy at this campground but it has a nice homey atmosphere. This was nicely located with a fun twist to camping with the animals! We’ve stayed once in the paddock area another in the grass area on the other side. I preferred the open grass area for the children to run around in without animals. I would recommend this campground to families.

    Baycrest RV Park

    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.

    Kasilof River Special Use Area

    No bathrooms during off season

    Mainly a large parking lot, no bathrooms this time of year. Beautiful right on the way, be careful driving on the sand especially at low tide it quickly turns to mud flats

    Kasilof River Special Use Area

    Convenient for dipnetting

    Camping is basically anywhere on the beach where you can find a spot (within signposted designated area). It's dispersed. While it was busy, we had no trouble finding a spot that wasn't too crowded. I said the cost is 0-$10 as I don't remember how much we paid. I recall we had a permit that we fixed to our tent, but it was very cheap.

    There were about 8 to 10 porta-potties all in a row at the where the beach meets the road. They were disgusting and nearly full. In fact, it has been 2 years since we were down there and that is my biggest memory. Others who frequent the campground bring a tall "privacy" tent with their own portable toileting system- probably a bucket.

    A little loud at night with a few raucous drunk people on ATVs. We parked our car in front of our tent as a deterrent. There were no problems, luckily.

    It was beautiful, being on the ocean and a short drive or 20 min walk to the popular dipnetting area. And convenient to get up for early morning dipnetting sessions without the crowds. The weather was great but I imagine it would be rough camping on the beach if windy with flying sand everywhere.

Guide to Kasilof

Kasilof camping options blend coastal and river environments along the west coast of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Located at the mouth of the Kasilof River, the area provides primitive camping opportunities on public beaches and more developed sites at private campgrounds. Seasonal availability ranges from May through September, with high season crowds peaking during salmon runs in July.

What to do

Dipnetting at Kasilof River: Visitors to Kasilof River Special Use Area can access prime fishing spots directly from their campsites. "The special use area was open for Subsistence fishing - and made for an easy place to camp outside of Kenai. Not really a scenic site, but efficient with trash and porta potties," notes reviewer Stephanie Z.

Wildlife viewing: Campers frequently spot bald eagles and other wildlife near their sites. At Whiskey Point Cabins & RV Park, one camper observed, "Eagles soar overhead. Sites are close together but have water, electricity, a small table and fire pit."

Gear rentals: Those traveling without equipment can rent what they need at Alaska Canoe and Campground. "You can rent everything from fishing poles and nuts to tent camping equipment and anything you might need for watercraft. They rent sleeping bags and dry bags," shares Tanya B.

What campers like

Coastal views: Many campgrounds provide direct sightlines to Cook Inlet and beyond. A visitor to Baycrest RV Park remarked, "The view was the best part, but it felt cramped. Decent location, only about a 15 minute drive to the spit."

Peaceful atmosphere: Some glamping options near Kasilof provide a quiet retreat from busier tourist areas. At Alaska Adventure Cabins, Joe C. found "Great place friendly staff supper clean and just all around wonderful stay great prices."

What you should know

Beautiful right on the way, be careful driving on the sand especially at low tide it quickly turns to mud flats."

Traffic considerations: The limited road network can create logistical challenges. A camper at Baycrest RV Park shared this experience: "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."
