Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Seward, AK

This campground sits right on a lake. Drop a kayak...very nice, clean, excellent sites. However, the noise from Seward highway echoes off the mountains so it's a bit noisy for a tent camper but very nice otherwise.

Short drive from Seward (which has grocery, general store, etc) and you're at this glacier with hiking and a small primitive campground. Walking around the park really hits you how bad climate change is. Our camp site was shady and forested. I bet this fills up quick in the summer. Just a great place to get outdoors without going too far from civilization. Would return.

This 81 site RV Park has full hook ups including cable for RVs. Showers and laundry facilities on site. WiFi available. Campfires allowed at creekside sites. The park provides shuttle service to and from Seward and the tour boats will send shuttles for pick-up/drop off for cruises. Close proximity to Kenai Fjords NP including exit glacier.

These sites are close together and unfortunately the bathroom/shower facilities need improvement. Bathroom stalls have saloon type doors that are too small to provide privacy. Showers only have curtains and no separate area for changing.

Boondocking galore!!! It gets five stars for what it is. Beautiful spots right by the river and five minutes from Seward and shopping one way and five minutes from Kenai Fjords NP the other.

The entrance comes up quick and has huge rocks blocking part of the road. We blew by it the first time and said no way, but then we pulled over and I ran to see who was camping and surprisingly a bunch of bigger campers etc got back there so we gave it a go and we got thru better than we thought. You just need to take your time!

Big gravel like space but isn't level so you need to drive slow, but you can find a level spot to camp for the night. No amenities as you are boondocking, but well worth it for the night!!! Highly recommend!!!

WI think a mile walking distance to downtown Seward. A City shuttle comes for free a couple tines a day. There fishING resources to rent. Cavins, yurts and camp sites. Late August the silver back salmon run. We caught one. The Alaska Coas talk train and Exit Glacier are awesome destinations. Resort staff are helpful

Primrose campground is a tiny place right off the highway in Seward Alaska. Each site has a fire ring and table. There are state bathrooms and a water pump.

This campground is very small and is not private. It is basically the gateway to something must better! A prep area if you will. We stayed here twice, once with 15 boy scouts as we ventured up to Lost Lake.. and Once just the hubs and I to prep for the hike in and camp at the lake.

This site is across from Kenai lake which is the most beautiful color of blue you have ever seen and in the summer loaded with fish and people. Many people use the parking area here parking while they hike in. This trail is frequented in the winter by snow machiners as well. There is a popular run called Lost Lake run.. which starts on the Primrose side and ends on the Seward side. This is why I give the campground itself a 4.. its basically a prep/ launch/ end area.

If you choose to hike to Lost Lake you have two options.. one is to go all the way over into Seward.. if you choose this take two cars.. leave one on the Seward side.. others wise you will need to hoof it or thumb it back to Primrose side. The other is to hike up and you can just hike back. Both are AMAZING and you will not be disappointed. It is seriously HEAVEN up here! You can bring a fishing rod and try for trout at the lake.. an inflatable boat would be fun too. On your way up stop and enjoy the water fall.. there are also great geocaching sites along the way so bring fun stuff to trade out!

You can hammock hang along the forested area.. it's like a magical world walking through the woods.. and then bam.. you step out into open rolling tundra and Lost Lake. Take everything you need with you as you will be in the wild.. completely.

This review covers the Tent Camping Area near Waterfront park and Resurrection RV campground. Some spots have trees and provide some privacy. Tent spots have sand/gravel pads. Spots have picnic tables and fire pits. Dogs allowed but need to be on a leash. No showers but has a nearby restroom. If you want to take a shower you have to go to city center 10min = $2. $10 a camp spot and max of 2 tents. No reservations. First come first serve. Check out is at 12pm.

Campground is near waterfront park that has a skate park and great playground for kids. There’s a paved path that goes along the water close to the campground. Walking, biking, and rollerblading is all possible on the waterfront path. Path runs from waterfront campgrounds all the way to the Sea Life Center.

Check the weather before heading for Seward. It has a reputation for being rainy and tent camping in the cool rain isn’t fun.

Stayed here on my big Alaska trip. Really not much to it, but it was a super nice place to stay. I think there was only around 15 sites or so, and they are first come first served. There were some toilets and food storage. We were just passing through but it was a great place to stay for the night. Make sure to check out the exit glacier trail not too far from there. We also took a little day cruise in Seward which was a ton of fun. I would definitely recommend something like that. This was a great stop on our trip!

We were in a rented rv making a last minute stay over in Seward.  They had last minute room to boondock in an adjacent parking lot, which was also full in August. We stayed 2 nights, the second in an rv site in Resurrection. We saw some tents, but rv sites are located along the water. Even though sites are close together everyone minded their manners while we were here. There is a blacktop path that leads to the must-see Alaska Sea Life Center. The campground is also close to boat excirsions and restaurants at the dock. Pay shower, clean bathrooms, and a dump station. It was a peaceful stay with an awesome view of the ocean.

Small, close to Seward, good fishing and hiking. Beware of bears

Great and unique campground with glacier views. Tents only and campground is clean and well maintained. Can be busy, but generally not to bad. Nice little hike out to the glacier or longer hikes up to the ice field if you want. Be bear aware, especially with food as there is lots of wildlife in the area. Close enough to Seward, but a ways down the road so a vehicle is recommended as the campground is a ways from town. Easy enough for a day trip into Seward tho for water activities, beach, brewery, etc.

Saw two seaplanes take off from the lake (take the Southern spot for this).

Hwy is loud but manageable, train as well.

Recommendable overnight position on the way to SEWARD.

We stayed at Iditarod, which we liked the best as it offered more expansive views since its around the corner. Plus, its much closer to town and Seward has great bars/restaurants and shops.

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. Punic tables and fire pits as well. Limited space
