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.

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!
Ranger
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
Ranger
Beautiful! Sat in hot tub staring at the snow capped mountains most of my stay here.
RangerUsed to party at this lake as a local in the late 90’s early 2000’s.
Nice little tent camping campground. There used to have spots big enough for RV’s but no hook ups.
Traveler
Have stairs and have access to river to fish. Showers are coin operated and $1.50 for 7 minutes. Toilets are available. No standard picnic tables expect for deluxe sites. Campsite is right across Soldotna visitor center. Not very scenic but location is great!
LegendWe’re not big rv park people so it wasn’t really our thing but as far as rv parks it was nice. The restaurant being right there was great we were able to enjoy cocktails and dinner on the deck
Guide
A good place just to rest. It’s not a well maintained place; There is a porta-john on-site, no toilets or showers. Not many electric hooks ups. It looks like 110v no water or sewer. Coffee and restaurant gets an Alaskan 5 stars
GuideSuch an awesome lake. We pretty much had the area to ourselves. The walk-in campsites are spacious. We had easy access to the lake. Trout were abundant.
GuideGreat base location in the central Kenai Peninsula. Easy commute to Seward, Kenai, Sterling, (1 hour) or Homer (2 hours). Many excellent trails all around the mountain and Kenai and Russian River area where Gwins Lodge and Roadhouse is located. Primitive only. Porta-John. Bring water. Fire wood for sale as well as liquor, beer and wine on-site. MJ 420 store 1 mile east. Fun place with restaurant, bar, store, liquor, to-go foods.
Ranger
Instead of going down to Georgia he should’ve came up here. By far a great cabin for the price. Definitely a must see come stay and play.
RangerIce cube said it best, weeeestsiiide... however I don’t think he was talking about this gorgeous little area
RangerDefinitely not like the ballet, but such an amazing spot to fish from nice clean and warm, 100 Percent great location
RangerThis place has all the activities you need to be set for while just hanging out with family, sometimes you just need to lay down and let time pass by
RangerGreat time relaxing and hanging out after a day on the water
Legend
Very large RV and tent sites right along the rivers edge. You may wanna reserve during peak fishing season but during the slower times it’s pretty easy to find a spot here.
LegendI don’t hate this RV Park which is saying a lot. There are 60 sites and this RV park is open from May 15 until Labor Day. You can reserve RV and tent sites online but you must call for cabin rentals.. This is right in the heart of Soldotna and close to anything you might have forgotten. 
LegendThis is a campground in Gear rental. You can rent everything from fishing poles and nuts to tent camping equipment and anything you might need for watercraft her. They weren’t sleeping bags and dry bags. 10 sites will run you $25 RVs 40 and cabins start at $175. This is right off the Sterling highway and impossible to mess it’s worth checking out if you’re looking at hooking up your RV.
Legend
This is actually a cabin rental facility and they do not offer RV parking or camping. It is on a nice set of land and the owners are very friendly and would make a good rental if you’re tired of camping.
Legend
This cute little RV park has 34 spaces with full hook ups. There are also showers and group restrooms in the bathhouse. Set in the Alaska wilderness has great views and not a bad choice for RV places.
LegendCurrently closed but anything Princess cost $$ but is beautiful. If you are willing to pay the price the Princess facilities are some of the most beautiful I have seen. Located in beautiful Cooper Landing and a short drive down the scenic Seward highway.
If you are on a once in a lifetime vacation and renting an RV this is worth a stop.
Guide
This is an awesome location, certainly worth the hike. You should plan to stay a couple nights if possible. Typical forest service cabin, right on the river, with very likely nobody else around for miles. Great Alaskan experience.
GuideThe Barber Cabin is just one of many forest service cabins available for rent around the state. All are in outstanding locations, and this is one of my favorites. There are lots of bear in the area, and for those wanting the security of 4 walls, this is a great option. The camping at the lower mouth, is spectacular as well. The area can get lots of traffic with folks hiking in to see the salmon climb the falls.
LegendAlong the Kenai River a great place for RVer's that are needing a fishing fix. The main lodge is just a short walk away too. Grocery store, shower, laundry ADA accessible, Ice and Propane make this a wonderful stop. All sites are a bit close together but there are trees on the outside.
ScoutGreat place ! Can’t wait to get back!
Traveler
Some nice trout to be caught in the lake, if you ride horses into this cabin and abide by the rules, you will have very little grass for them to eat and you will not be able to watch or protect them from the Bears.
GuideCool cabin with lots of unique features
