The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge guarantees breathtaking scenery and an unforgettable experience for visitors staying in one of the 14 rustic cabins located in Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Getting to the cabin can be a thrilling adventure in itself, as most of them require the use of boats, aircraft, hiking or skiing. The grudging withdrawal of the Harding Ice Field has helped to make the lands of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge a "miniature Alaska." Today, the refuge includes examples of every major Alaska habitat type. The refuge is an Alaska in miniature in its diversity of wildlife, as well.
Eager anglers can pursue chinook, sockeye, coho and pink salmon; as well as Dolly Varden char, rainbow trout, and arctic grayling. The refuge is also home to brown and black bears, caribou, Dall sheep, mountain goats, wolves, lynx, wolverines, eagles and thousands of shorebirds and waterfowl, not to mention the mighty Alaska-Yukon moose that the refuge was originally established (as the Kenai National Moose Range) to protect.
Kenai National Wildlife Refuge spans 1.9 million acres along the western Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. The region includes the western slopes of the Kenai Mountains, forested lowlands along Cook Inlet, rivers, lakes and wetlands. To the east is Chugach National Forest and southeast is Kenai Fjords National Park.

Wonderful stay at 50 site primitive campground. Big rig friendly, clean, private sites. Clean vault toilets, pump for water, trash, no dump station. Lots of wildlife - moose with calves in cg. Great fishing in Cooks Inlet, Stormy Lake, and Swanson River all steps from the campground. Beachcombing and rockhounding on beach. Stunning views.
Scout
The toilets were very clean. No showers though like the app says. I saw a moose when I got out of my tent in the morning!
Scout
We were lucky enough to get a spot here! It was a perfect place to stop on our way from Homer back to Anchorage.
Traveler
You can camp anywhere in the DNR Recreational Area out in The Hills. Camp by the creek or up on one of the hills with amazing views. Wonderful area for foraging fungi and harvesting berries. Great Bear and Moose hunting area.
Please, Pack it in, Pack it out.

Rustic 50 site campground. Several sites suited to large rigs. Well kept campground with immaculate vault toilets. Fantastic views, great fishing, and trails. Beachcomb for agates, spirit stones, and wishing stones.
Scout
I had the worst experience camping experience of my life here. Noisy, filthy, and poorly managed. The lady who owns it is disrespectful and lazy yet asking a premium price. The sites are not private, the bathrooms are filthy. I recommend not considering this place unless you are dip netting or in noise at all hours not too mention the thievery.
ScoutI stayed here early 2024 season and will not return. The noise was horrible, no privacy between sites and water in few. Basically dry miserable camping at a premium price but the worst part was dealing with the matriarch of the village. The female owner is a rude disrespectful person, clearly uncomfortable in her own skin.

Awesome Spot on Homer Spit, Camp Right on the Beach with Awesome Views, was not to Crowded in July. Went Halibut From there and had 7 Humpback Whales surrounding our Boat….. What an Adventure
TravelerWe had a good stay here in our 40' toy hauler. The power, water, and cable worked good. The rate shown is the total bill for a weekly rate of$321 with taxes and fees added. Some things to note about the park. The whole park slopes downward toward the beach bluff, however they did a reasonable job terracing each site so it is mostly level. As a result each site uphill is 12 to 18 inches higher. The center sites are back to back and they will park your RV even with the electric box at rear, so you may have challenges parking your towed vehicle or tow vehicle at your site depending on your total length, but we managed ok. The lane between rows is narrow. If you"pull through" to your site through an empty one, it is easy. If you have to back in it may be a challenge and you may need to get people to move tow vehicles. Smaller motorhomes and short trailers may not have any issues. We had to have one person move a vehicle to pull out when we left. In fact we left a day early in the afternoon because I wanted to be sure I could get out. If all the guests had been in the park with the tow vehicles or towed park, I could not have pulled out early in the morning without waking people up to move vehicles. We camped at Ocean Shores RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.

4.5 stars for this RV park. They have everything you need. Laundry/showers/bathrooms. 50/30 amp electric, sewer, water. Small dog run. They have a fish charter service, as well as fish cleaning stations. They also fillet, vacuum pack freeze and ship your catch. We really enjoyed ourselves here.
Scout
It’s crowded and I’m not even sure what to do because it’s a big mess but I’m gonna go ahead and do the same
GuideDidnt camp here. We camper at the campground 2 secs. Reason we didnt was due to winds. We didnt have warm enough clothes for the kiddos
GuideThis was a awesome spot not but 25 mins out of homer. So you don’t have to worry about the busyness. Also the trees break up the wind

The stunning lake view and access made the campsite worth dealing with the bugs and bears.
We arrived at Upper Skilak Lake Campground on a sunny Friday afternoon and managed to get the last site available. The campground was packed, including all the RV sites. We ended up in one of the walk-in tent sites. There are a total of 10 walk-in tent sites, with six right on the lake and the rest just a short walk away.
Each campsite is equipped with bear-proof storage for food, which is essential considering the active bear presence in the area. There is enough space for two tents, and the fire pits are new with adjustable grill racks, which made cooking easy. Buckets were provided to safely extinguish fires.
The campsites are a short walk from the parking lot, involving a small hill, except for one (maybe two) handicap-accessible site that offers easier access.
During our stay, we saw black bears and grizzly bears every day. Bear scat was common on the trails and beach, adding to the sense of adventure but also requiring constant vigilance regarding food storage and safety.
The park rangers were friendly and stopped by our site each night to check in and talk about bear sightings. However, one morning, a ranger accompanied by a few volunteers walked into our site while we were eating, which felt somewhat invasive.
The main downside was the state of the bathrooms. They were extremely dirty, with one stall that didn’t lock and another that had no toilet paper. The smell was terrible, and overall, the facilities were not well-maintained.
By the time we left on Monday, we were the only campers remaining, which offered a peaceful end to our stay.
Overall, Upper Skilak Lake Campground offers a beautiful location and a genuine wilderness experience, the poor condition of the bathrooms and significant amount of bugs were the only drawback.
Be prepared for bears and lots of bugs. The lake, the trails, and experience were definitely worth the trip.
Scout
Beautiful campground. Clean facilities. BUT the $23/vehicle/campsite killed the 5 stars this place deserves. Be aware that if you have a towed car or motorcycles with your camper they will charge you even though you are in one site. And this fee is not on the entrance sign nor the City of Soldotna website.
Traveler
This is a small campground with individual sites. It has a lake with boat ramp access and is used frequently, during summer months. Campsites have firepits. Some sites can be quite muddy to get to. Very nice. No cell service at sites.
GuideWe are in the shoulder season and most camps on the spit are closed. This one has beautiful views of the bay and there weren’t many people here the night we stayed. We rv camped. Some people brought their horses to the day use side and were riding at sunset.
LegendRight on the Kenai river with a campground and boat launch. Tons of stores etc in Soldotkna minutes away to include a laundry mat five minutes away.
Road in is dirt and in good condition. They have people at the front that collect fees of people coming and goin. Lots of people coming through to use the boat launch, but you can't beat the beautiful turquoise of the Kenai river. Also, a beautiful mile or so trail along the river so people can pay $8 to park for the day. Plenty of restrooms and picnic tables. level camping spots and spots were nice and spread out so you aren't on top of your neighbor.
Also, close to Kenai Wildlife Refuge, a couple minutes away. So check out the visitors center and the trails off the visitors center. Well maintained and scenic!
LegendMountains and the beach. What can be better!?! Only $20 a night, level spots steps from the beach. Does not have electric, water or sewer but if you can be self contained for a couple days. If not, there is a RV park right now the road.
20 minutes to Homer for many things to do and delicious seafood. halibut Capital of the world, beautiful beach with mountains in background.
We did a bear tour out of this town and we could walk to the boat that was taking us. Highly recommend this spot!
It is high of 60 degrees in August, so a little chilly, but nice clear weather!
TravelerOwner is very nice and professional. Showers well lit and perfectly clean. Amazing views of the ocean and easy beach access.
Scout
We loved everything about this little spot. It’s tucked away, all by itself, (not at a campground), so you trade noisy campsites for incredible views. We backed our 26ft RV in so that the fire pit and picnic table were right behind us. Plenty of room for our truck to stay attached. Great location, better views. The hosts brought us homemade chocolate chip cookies that were delicious and made us feel so welcome! They live nearby so if you have any issues they are just a phone call away. We are already telling all of our friends that if they want a quiet place with great views in Homer this is THE SPOT!
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! This awesome spot near Homer has electric & water hookups for a convenient stay while you explore the surrounding nature trails and take in all that Alaska has to offer! Check them out and please share some pictures of your stay on the Dyrt!
