"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."
"Cost is $72/night Typical for every where we have stayed in Alaska it is a gravel lot pretty closely spaced. Full hook ups. Have sites which face the bay need to reserve in advance."
"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 spots are a bit narrow, but most spots have full hookups, and there is a short trail down to the beach."
$25 - $150 / night
"There is an amazing ocean and volcano view off a common ground area with a picnic table and fire pit. Eagles soar overhead."
"Whiskey Point is a small, full hookup, amazing camp ground with the nicest caretakers. The view is spectacular and we had the entire campground to ourselves."
"Great for a quick stay, full hook ups, beautiful view when the weather cooperates, but it’s 9 miles from town, so if you’re in a motor home you’ll need a tow vehicle"
"Enjoyed this location and without reservations, glad to get it. Had reservation at spit campground that was in horrible shape, un-level, crowded...so passed and took a risk on this one."
"Great amenities. Water and electric hookups, has shower houses and restrooms on site. Wood for sale. Wireless internet availabvle. Has a few ocean view sites."
"Nice campground with amenities. Wifi is good except when the campground gets more campers like on weekends. Mostly back-in RV sites though there are a few pull through sites."
"The RV park and supply store at this location in fact describes supranationalism at its best, hands down great"
"Laundry/showers/bathrooms. 50/30 amp electric, sewer, water. Small dog run. They have a fish charter service, as well as fish cleaning stations."
"Peaceful. Showers and laundry available for extra $. All sites have picnic table, campfire ring. Some under trees, some in more open area. Fish cleaning station available."
$49 - $149 / night
"Allows for hooking up with electricity and water, dumping station also available. Everything topped with spectacular view. Loved it."
"Chilled spot out by the overlook where you can bring your RV park it for a day or month friendly staff made it comfortable to stay"
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.
GuideGreat amenities. Water and electric hookups, has shower houses and restrooms on site. Wood for sale. Wireless internet availabvle. Has a few ocean view sites. Others are big enough for slide outs and awnings. Dog friendly but not much room for them if they need to stay outside. Great fishing close by in the hole or at the end of the spit for flounder.
GuideWe dry camped on the beach front lot, site 98. Views were amazing and the site was clean and level. There is a walking path next to this site, but does not intrude on camping space. Fire pit and picnic table provided.
The dump station is unlevel, in the wrong direction. There are two sides to pull alongside the dump station and both have the camper leaning away from your dump valves. Needless to say you will not be able to completely dump your tanks. If not for this aspect I would put this campground at a 4-4.5 rating.
ScoutNice campground with amenities. Wifi is good except when the campground gets more campers like on weekends. Mostly back-in RV sites though there are a few pull through sites.
Sites are very close to each other but location and views are excellent.
Ranger4.5 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.
ScoutWe 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.
ScoutGreat for a quick stay, full hook ups, beautiful view when the weather cooperates, but it’s 9 miles from town, so if you’re in a motor home you’ll need a tow vehicle
LegendThere are a few city run campgrounds on the spit in Homer. This mini peninsula juts a few miles out into Kachemak Bay and creates one of the main tourist areas for the town. This is another of Alaska's pot-holed, parking lot camping areas where tents can be set up just off the perimeter and RVs of any size can take up residence within it. Picnic tables and fire rings lie between the parking and the beach and there’s a general esprit de corps of the folks hanging out there.
Like many Alaskan camping spots what the site itself lacks in charm, is simply overwhelmed by the spectacular views in any direction. That's why you come here in the first place. The bathroom situation is simple, a couple of port-o-potties with a hand washing station. Recycling and trash dumpsters are right next to the toilets. Water can be filled up for free at the city RV dump station in town, right across from the Post Office on the Sterling Hwy. Payment can be made at the automated permit machine.
The lack of any trees made solar power a no-brainer, even on the cloudy days. With our solar suitcase from Renogy and 200W of solar on the roof, we were able to recharge our battery without any issues.
There's a great bike path that leads to the many tourist shops, bars and restaurants on the spit. The spit is also a great launching area for kayaking in the ocean side of the spit- launching on the other bay side can be tricky because of tides and mud. Parking along the spit is pretty easy and there are large lots which allow for overnight parking if you are going to use the area as a launching pad for other adventures either on the Kenai or further afield. Homer is known as a particularly good spot for Grizzly Bear tours into Kobuk Valley National Park (the holy grail of grizzly sightings). Be sure to tour the Alaskan Maritime National Wildlife Refuge Visitor’s Center, it’s difficult to get out to the Aleutian Islands, but through the engaging films and interactive displays, you can get a feel for the history and wildlife of these remote areas.
Homer has all the services that campers need including grocery stores and good restaurants (we loved Fat Olive and Carmen’s Gelato out on the spit.) A short drive along East End Road will take you right by Fitz Creek General store, which is a treat for all kinds of cool stuff -- the chocolate muffins alone are worth the drive alone. The village farmer’s market is truly amazing with veggies, baked goods, prepared food, and lots of other arts and crafts.
LegendI 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.
