Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ninilchik, AK

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.

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. If you’re looking for somewhere easy to pull off on the Sterling highway on the way to Homer this is a great option. 

I 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. 

Mountains 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!

We stayed off season and were the only campers except the host. We rv camped and parked in a spot with an outlook over the cliff toward mountains. Only a few spots have views. There is a trail down to a beautiful beach, also empty when we were there. The parking spots are very tightly spaced.

Mostly dry camping with some full hookup spots. Nice fish cleaning station under a roof to keep you dry in the rain. There was firewood when I was there which we made use of, peaceful place to roast some marshmallows. The bathroom situation could use some work since it is an old place, but they were clean.

We went from Ohio to Alaska last year with a 36' fifth wheel camper and stayed at 56 campgrounds in three months. Heritage was one of our favorites. Very nice camp sites with full hookups. Excellent showers, very clean and laundry facilities larger than any other campground we have ever stayed at. Very nice people working there that are always willing to help in any way they can. Great coffee shop with doughnuts and a relaxing place to sit and enjoy them. It's all right on the water and a two minute drive to all the charters on the spit. I highly recommend this campground.

This hidden gem is located right off the Sterling Highway as you enter Ninilchik. It has bathrooms on site, with other amenities typical of state rec campgrounds (water, tables, fire rings etc.). What this location has over other campgrounds is an amazing overlook out onto the historic village and famous Russian Orthodox Church, and a panoramic view of Cook Inlet with stunning, postcard worthy looks out toward Mt Iliamna and Mt Redoubt. The campsites are reasonably separated from one another, and there is room to park RVs at the individual sites. There is also an RV dump location nearby. The campground is located high on a hill above the Village, however there is a walkway path with stairs for beach and village access.

Ninilchik is a tiny little blip of a town but in the summer it is home to one of the best music festivals anywhere- Salmonstock!

HOnestly, we didn't spend much time at these campgrounds but were shuttled to and from the Ninilchik Fairgrounds during Salmonstock. What a blast that was. If you happen to be in Alaska during Salmonstock heed my advice and go!!!

The campground was pretty basic, each site was "primitive" and we had a picnic table. Honestly it was perfect for sleeping - quiet and private. Other than that, just make sure you go to Salmonstock! Did I say that already???

I camped SIX nights at the Homer Spit campground and there were so many great and not so great things about it.  We stayed four nights in site 6 (interior), and two nights in site 104 (on the beach)

Overall the campground gets a 5. It's super well managed, it's clean and convenient and the view are BREATHTAKING. (the interior sites get a 0 for being scenic)

There are 3 types of site

- Beach front (you camp on the beach, and there are no hookups)

- Beach view (you have a front row beach view and there is a plug in)

- Interior (you are basically camping in what feels like a walmart parking lot with a view)

Most people who visit the spit campground are here for 1 or 2 nights max, and about 80% of them are in RVs. There is a strict 11 am checkout and 3pm check in, so the place is pretty empty during the day, and at night looks like an RV lot.  But it's still awesome.

The sites are small and there is nothing between them besides a log so you know where your boundaries are.  Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are about 150 sites. There is one bathroom which was very clean nearly every single time I used it and it has hot water!  Showers cost 2x per person if you're staying at the campsite and they were FANTASTIC - so clean, and hot, and not timed, and amazing water pressure.

--- (the negatives)

- Many of the electrical 110 outlets at the interior sites did not work. This was a small problem for us because we were trying to work in the mornings.

- There was pretty much nowhere for dishwashing. Dishwashing was forbidden at the main water point, with signs to wash dishes at the hose that was also used for feet rinsing at the beach. This wasn't a problem for most people who were in their RVs - but if you're planning to tent camp and cook, you will likely want a dishwashing bucket/bin.

- In the morning the main water point was usually overtaken by a line of RV's filling up the water tank. It wasn't a problem unless that was when I wanted to refill my water...

- The interior sites are not at all scenic. We faced a big dirt pile and a safeway tractor trailer when we were in our campsite. You're staying there for the location, remember, and if you walk 10 feet you will see all the mountains.

++ (the positives)

+ You're literally right at the end of Homer Spit at the campground and you can walk to all the shops without having to fight all the other people for parking!

+ The wifi worked across the property with no problems

+ OMG, the view. 

+ If you don't want to make coffee or breakfast, La Baliene and Sue the Bus are just across the street.

+ the team literally checks every site every day, they clean the trash out of the fire pits, and actually make sure that everything works.

Following the shoreline of Johnson Lake, this tidy little campground makes for a fun summer stop with the family. A boat launch provides water access to anyone looking to play with jet skis, motor boats, or canoes and kayaks. shallow warmer waters provide for good swimming as well.

Stocked by fish and game; the later summer months can provide good fishing for Rainbow Trout. Both shore and boat fishing can provide success to the right angler. Just gotta bring the right set up!

A nicely set up day use area is avaIlable nearby as well. Large awnings cover anywhere from 2 to 4 picnic tables providing dry areas. Fire pits and built in BBQ‘s are close by each awning.

Late June and July finds this campground very busy, especially during hot days when locals are looking to escape the sun. noise levels and lake activity can get pretty high at these times. The rest of the year these issues are less likely.

One of my favorIte campgrounds growing up, I could be found here most summer days with a lIne in the water or swimmIng. Now a days I use the day use area occasionally for gatherIngs wIth friends and some BBQin. I tend to avoid the campgrounds durring the summer months because of the overcrowding, but late season camping and fishing can be peaceful and quiet.

Need to knows

• 51 total spaces.
• Good for both tent and motor home camping.
• Well water and dumpsters are provided.
• Bathrooms are available.
• Excellent Trout fishing in later summer months.
• Camp hosts can be intrusive.

Used 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.
