Best Glamping near Kenai Fjords National Park, AK

Resort area is well organized. RV sites are well-priced, though you won’t get the views that the state sites in town have along the shore. Like many hook-up campgrounds, the RV sites are sterile-feeling (standard parking lot style). Okay if you plan to be out & about all day but not ideal for hanging out around the RV. Campfires only allowed off to the side in a picnic area.

Bathrooms very clean and warm.

Yurts would be my go-to if I were to come again or recommend to family. Fun experience. Fire pits nearby.

Tent sites are really just a patch of grass between the row of Yurts and the playground/bathroom. You could find much more scenic spots not too far unless you’re just looking for a place to lay your head.

Seward Military Resort was out last campground of our 8 night trip. We used the resort to set up our tent and venture out into Seward to go ice climbing on the nearby Exit Glacier (pictures and video below). The site is on the small side and really close to one other tent site and the yurts. No mosquitoes, people adhere to quiet hours, and it's close to a wealth of activities in Seward.

This is our favorite place. Coming from California and moving to Alaska was a big change, but we found the ocean again in Seward Alaska.

It doesn’t get better in Alaska on a clear day. The camp ground is well maintained with a ton of spots. Book well in advance as weekends and prime spots on the ocean go quickly.

It is so relaxing having your coffee at the oceans edge in the morning. You can see otters and eagles. So much to do and enjoy in Seward. The Sealife center is only a mile away. This is one of the best places in Alaska to camp.

We absolutely love Miller’s Landing campground! It offers the best of feeling like you’re in a tall wooded forest as well as being right on the ocean! I always feel like I’m in an enchanted forest. The office building that you check into offers a seating area you can sit in and enjoy a cup of coffee if it’s raining, or if you need to escape the sun! They also have an awesome covered back deck that overlooks resurrection bay. Rocking chairs and views are a great combination! Campsites for tents are spacious and the running water bathrooms are cleaned daily. Charters and kayak tours go in and out daily. Always fun to beach comb and explore tide pools when the tide is out! Also, sunsets ( when the sun goes down here in Alaska) are breathtaking! Dogs are allowed. Highly recommend this camp ground!

Miller's landing Campground in Seward, Alaska is a great spot right on the water for everything the Kenai Peninsula has to offer. However, it lacks in spots for tent Camping. We had gotten to Miller's Landing at the end of a long day of hiking and exploring the Kenai Peninsula and the showers that the had were very refreshing. The views from the campground right on the bay are great and you can ever catch a glimpse of seals and otters from the shore. When we arrived at our site however, we were disappointed when we realized there was a single flat spot to put a tent. This was after we had asked for a tent spot in the campground. We tried a few different tries but were unsuccessful with the uneven ground and tree roots sticking our of the ground. The check in desk was closed since we had waited until after our showers to set-up camp and couldn't find anyone to see if we could get another spot, although the campground looked pretty full. We ended up sleeping in our rental van that night. MIller's Landing has a lot to offer, just not a flat ground to tent camp on.

Although this campsite doesn’t have the best views to offer it is ideal for the location. Juat far enough out of town that you can find some quiet while being continently close to Safeway and the Cup (a drive through coffee shop). The camp itself has a playground and basketball courts and tennis courts for fun and you’re also just a few blocks from the elementary school playground as well.

20, 30, 50 Amp hookups and H2O. As others have said, quite tight against your neighbors and generally full during summer months. Bath house is nice and clean which is great considering there’s no sewer at the sites. Dump site on site so one can make do. A bit unorganized at check in because they don’t reserve sites until you arrive. If you’re in a big rig like I am you could find yourself SOL should the 45’ spots all be full. Overall, not a bad place because the price is right!

If you don't plan on sitting by the campfire but exploring Seward then this is the spot for you. Must be military or DOD to stay here but it is lower and cheaper price than anywhere else in Seward. RV sites are close and tight together like a parking lot. There is a store along with showers available and a restaurant during summer months. Beautiful mountain views in all directions help cushion the blow of this tight fit. Close to downtown and the harbor, we used our bicycles to get around town.

Hated having to be so close to everyone. Basically a parking lot that they squeeze everyone into.

I made a reservation for the glamour tent. I showed up at 2:45pm and then waited until 3:30pm for someone to come and do the‘check in’. There was a girl that showed me where the showers were. Then she took me to an angry man who said he was willing to put me up in a hotel, they did not have any glamour tents, and then he offered me a cabin room but said there would be no curtains. And then he got mad at me for making reservations the day before and not allowing him to be prepared.. They then said they would give me a refund but charged me a cancellation fee of$183.34. I had to find a new place to stay and howling wolf resort have been dodging my phone calls and my emails. Worst customer service I have ever had. Super shady and unprofessional.

The only reason this night turned out bad was because I insisted on sleeping in a tent even though it was raining and I got soaked. If it's raining and your tent is not equipped for it then find an alternative. We stayed in the tent section of the campground and had an incredible view of the sound and the glaciers. You are close to the bathrooms and playground in the tent section. There is a nice sidewalk that will lead you back into town. Public showers are available. Be sure to take quarters to get in. Tent sites are close together but all have a picnic table and fire ring.

Amazing views everywhere you look. Saw lots of sea life right from tent. Caught fish close to campsite.

We love staying in the Seward City Campgrounds. There are two areas for tents, but we prefer the sites on the beach. The views are good, there are park bathrooms, and if you have kids you are right next to the playground. Each site has a parking spot, a fire ring, and a picnic table. We were here in mid-May and saw whales, otters, sea lions, and a multitude of birds right from the campsites. The cost is $10 per night, check out is at noon and you can get a 10 minute shower for $2 from the bath house. You are within walking distance to downtown, the docks, and the little shops.

Just an update for Seward campgrounds. The city went to a new third party reservation process for 2020. Rates are the same, but they now have a $2.00 processing fee. You can reserve sites no more than 30 days out. There is no way to reserve consecutive nights beyond 30 days. That said, Seward is awesome...and when visiting The 907 should be on your list of places to see.

You can't beat a location like this if being in the heart of Seward is what you're after. This campground is right on the waterfront in the downtown area, along a paved path. Sites are situated right next to each other, mostly on gravel with some grass. Some hookups available for an extra fee. These sites fill up on holiday weekends, especially 4th of July which is Seward's biggest holiday. No reservations taken so make sure to come early on Friday or midweek for a spot. It's a short walk to restaurants, shops and the SeaLife Center. Flush toilets, running water and showers (extra fee) available. If you have kiddos, a large and beautiful playground is nearby, along with a skate park.

The tent only area was way too close together. Barely enough room for a tent, a vehicle, and the fire ring. I couldn’t even stay there. Went to the free campground at the National Park instead.
