Best RV Parks & Resorts near Moose Pass, AK

Several RV parks serve the Moose Pass region on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Moose Pass Campground offers basic sites without hookups but maintains clean toilets and is easily accessible from the highway. Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge & RV Park provides sites with water, sewer, and 30-amp electrical hookups from May 20 to September 15. "Sites are fairly close together but not uncomfortably so," according to one visitor who stayed at Moose Crossing RV Park, which features 26 sites with water, sewer, and 30-amp service. Stoney Creek RV Park in Seward includes full hookups with 50-amp service, showers, and cable TV at their 81 sites, operating from mid-May through mid-September.

During salmon season, RV parks throughout the region fill quickly, especially those within access of popular fishing spots. Cell service varies significantly – most parks near highways maintain adequate coverage, but those tucked into valleys may have limited connectivity. Bear Creek RV Park provides dump station services even for non-guests. A review noted that "water had a noticeable sulfur taste and smell" at one location, suggesting travelers might want to bring drinking water. Dump stations and potable water are available in Seward for those staying at parks without full hookups. Most RV parks in the area welcome pets but require them to be leashed, and several offer shuttle services to nearby attractions and fishing spots.

    Stoney Creek RV Park

    Great RV park on the creek

    Friendly staff. Some sites on the creek. Most full hookups. Most hate fire rings. Mix of pull through and back in. Amazing Mountain View’s. Nice small laundry. Clean showers

    Cooper Creek North Campground

    Lovely convenient campground

    It's salmon fishing season and you can tell people are staying here to fish the Kenai River, which is great. It was a very convenient campsite off the highway on the way to Homer, in the national forest. only $23 a night to camp or $11.50 if your a senior or have an access pass. Great prize for Alaska, but of course no amenities at site such as water, electric etc. It's a dry spot.

    Good size sites and level spots with picnic table and fire pit. Enjoyed our night here ...

    Tenderfoot Creek

    Perfect BaseCAMP

    We spent 4 nights in Tenderfoot Campground just on the other side of Summit Lake. It is hidden but located at the base of a tall mountain that would be in avalanche danger if snow were in season. This camp is closed in winter. Our site was a first come, first serve site but it was the perfect pull-through for our campervan! It was a site walk to the bathroom, water pump was located across the street, and you had plenty of space for spreading out. You can hear the creek close by as it was flowing rapidly from snow melt high up on the mountain. It was perfectly located on a hill, equidistant from Soldotna, Seward, and Anchorage, and the mosquitoes left us alone as opposed to the ones on the loop as you come in closer to the lake. My favorite site in the Kenai Peninsula ! Not much cell service out here in these woods.

    Seward City Campgrounds

    Great Winter Camping Spot

    Stayed here for 1 night on two separate occasions in March 2022. It’s part of the Seward Municipal Campgrounds but Iditarod is the only part of the campground that is open for winter camping. Tent camping isn’t allowed so its Rv’s/trailers only. There’s no water or electricity but you have a portapotty that is very clean and a dumpster for trash. We stayed in slot 103 both nights because it’s the only spot that has a fire ring and a picnic table. The view in the morning is beautiful as you see the sun rise above the mountains and see the reflection in the water. This camping lot is at mile marker 0 of the Iditarod Trail which I think is really neat!

    Verizon cell service is great and it only cost $15 online to camp in the winter. This is the only campground I noticed that was open for winter camping in Seward.

    Russian River - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    Russian river camp ground alaska

    Amazing weekend. Tucked back in the chugach national forest is a quiet campground that is hard to get into without prior planning. No Rv hookups but does have a dump station and potable wAter. Campsites are nicely spaced so your not camping on top of each other. Amazing fishing for trout and salmon. Lots of hiking trails and tons of tourist activities near by.

    Bird Creek Campground — Chugach State Park

    First come, first serve

    This campground has 22 sites and 2 public use cabins. There’s bathrooms but no showers. Each campsite has a fire ring and picnic table and there are trails within walking distance of your campsite.

    We stayed during the off season so we ended up in the camp host site accidentally since it was one of the few that wasn’t still covered in snow. You definitely get some noise from Highway traffic but it’s not terrible. There’s a gas station right across the street for fuel and maybe some other last minute supplies you may need?

    Chugach National Forest Ptarmigan Campground

    @ the Y go LEFT

    Many of these campgrounds stay open until it snows. If the gate is open the campground is open per the Forest service website. In the off season there is no services and no fees. If that is the case you must pack out all your trash. You can reserve campsites here.

    There is a board walk for salmon viewing during the later part of the season (August-October). When the weather is good it can be hard to find a spot. If the weather is overcast, you have a chance of finding something here. Reservations are always recommended in the peak of camping season. Sites 10 and 13 are pull throughs for the bigger rigs. Cell Service: no Internet: no 2020 Cost: $14 Distance from Anchorage: 98 miles Best sites: 10, 13 pull throughs Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 4-7 depending on weather

    Quartz Creek Campground

    Wonderful Campground for all

    This USFS Campground is right off the highway at Kenai Lake near Coopers Landing. Easy access for most any size RVs or trailers, well spaced, improved, level sites with big wooden tables and metal fire pits with metal cooking grates. Water and very clean restrooms and locking trash cans throughout the 2 loops. There is a boat launch. One side has Quartz Creek  running along it and another has lakefront campsites. There are first come, first served as well as reserved campsites. Some are single ($18) and some are doubles ($28) and there is a dump station. Salmon run up Quartz Creek and once they arrive the Bears will too. Very close to Coopers Landing and the Russian River. Lots of hiking, Mtn Biking trails, boating and fishing within very close distances as well as small stores, gas stations....

    This is a great, quiet campground very close to many popular areas in Alaska. It is very busy once the Red Salmon arrive, esp fron mid July to mid August...

    Tenderfoot Creek

    Summit Lake need I say more

    This is a really different campground.  Built on the side of a mountain it has some strange campsites.  Its close proximity to Summit Lake and lake access earned it 4 stars.  Really great place to take a kayak.  If it was not for the water aspect it would have only gotten a 3 star review.  Some of the sites have the picnic tables at a higher elevation than the parking pad. If you have accessibility issues this is something you will want to watch out for.   There are lots of bugs so bring you bug dope. The spots are large so you can fit a big rig in them however the campground is a bit tight so you will have to watch the turning of these bigger rigs.   Cell Service: no Internet: no 2020 Cost: $18 - $28 Distance from Anchorage: 75 miles Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 6


Guide to Moose Pass

RV camping near Moose Pass, Alaska offers access to the Kenai Peninsula's diverse landscape where glaciers, mountains, and lakes create an ecosystem for moose, bears, and eagles at elevations ranging from sea level to 3,000 feet. Campground options range from basic tent sites to full-service RV parks with varying levels of connectivity and amenities. Many locations require advance bookings during salmon fishing season.

What to do

Fishing access: Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge & RV Park provides a strategic base for fishing enthusiasts. "Along 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," notes reviewer Shadara W.

Walking trails: Seward City Campgrounds offers walkable access to town and natural areas. "It is so relaxing having your coffee at the oceans edge in the morning. You can see otters and eagles," writes Tanya B., highlighting the wildlife viewing opportunities right from camp.

Deck views: Take advantage of mountain observation points at Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge & RV Park. "The lodge also has a beautiful trail with decks looking into the Kenai the shuttle can take you to and from as needed," reports Kathy M.

What campers like

Clean shower facilities: At Stoney Creek RV Park in Seward, campers appreciate the well-maintained amenities. "Nice campground with mountain views. Good laundry facilities and bathrooms with showers," notes Ellen E. The park provides clean shower facilities with strong water pressure.

Creek access: Many campers value waterfront camping opportunities. "We just happened across this site on our way out of Seward. Nice little area with bathrooms. Spots are close together but separated by a privacy fence," reports Riley N. about Creek View RV.

Wildlife viewing: Waterfront camping offers wildlife observation possibilities. "We were able to see birds and a sea otter steps from our camper," shares a Seward City Campgrounds visitor, indicating the marine wildlife viewing potential without leaving camp.

What you should know

Sulfur water concerns: Water quality varies across campgrounds. At Moose Crossing RV & Food Truck Park, a camper noted: "Water pressure was solid at around 45 psi, but the water had a noticeable sulfur taste and smell." Consider bringing drinking water.

Variable cell service: Mobile connectivity fluctuates based on terrain. Moose Crossing RV Park reported: "We had 2 bars on Verizon, 1 bar on T-Mobile, and a decent sky view for Starlink—though perimeter sites may have more tree cover and less visibility."

Shower costs and quality: Shower facilities vary significantly. "Showers only have curtains and no separate area for changing," mentioned one Stoney Creek RV Park visitor, highlighting potential privacy concerns despite clean facilities.

Tips for camping with families

Playground proximity: When traveling with children, consider campgrounds with play areas. "The tent camping is located right next to a great playground, so if you have younger kids this might be a good choice for you," advises a visitor to Seward City Campgrounds.

Educational opportunities: Plan day trips to nearby learning centers. "The Sealife center is only a mile away. This is one of the best places in Alaska to camp," notes Tanya B. about Seward City Campgrounds.

Dog-friendly trails: Several campgrounds offer pet walking areas. Moose Crossing RV Park provides "ample space for walking dogs, including a short trail," making it suitable for families traveling with pets.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing considerations: Real Alaskan Cabins and RV Park offers 34 spaces with full hookups, but like many Alaskan RV parks, sites can be close together. "This cute little RV park has 34 spaces with full hookups. There are also showers and group restrooms in the bathhouse," notes Tanya B.

Seasonal fishing crowds: Bing Brown's maintains availability even during peak seasons. "This is Motel and RV Park seems well loved by fisherman. There is no website for this park however there did appear to be spots in the prime of fishing season," reports a visitor.

Utility placement: Pay attention to hookup locations when selecting sites. At Moose Crossing RV Park, "Utilities were well placed and centered on the pad, which was a plus," according to one RVer, making setup easier.
