Best RV Parks & Resorts near Tyonek, AK

Went down on a whim over the Fourth of July weekend, there were a few spots open on the 3rd but it was mostly cleared out by the 4th. Spots are a decent size, we have a Passport Ultralight 2650BH and had enough room to leave the truck parked in front of it and have plenty of space behind us for hanging out. Spots are also well spaced so you don't feel like you're on top of the next site like some places, and there was decent foliage to give a feel of privacy.

Pros: $20/night, there's outhouses and a fresh drinking water pump, good amount of space, short walk to the beach. AT&T had 5G coverage

Cons: Tons of devil's club, not super close to town (but we were ok with that)

Following the Spur Highway to the very end and hang a left; you will find the entrance to Discovery campground. Running along the bluffs and curling back, this campground offers amazing views of Cook Inlet, a secluded location, and quietness.

Days can be spent hiking, fishing out of the mouth of the Swanson River, and exploring the beach; which is best done during low tide. which reveals a beautiful rocky vistage, and tons of flats to walk along. Bring your mud boots though as there are large muddy sections between you and the rocks.

Mornings and evenings provide amazing sunrises or sunsets blasting beautiful reds, purples and pinks along the mountains across the bay. The Dicovery trail and Interpative trail offer short hikes weaving through the Forrest and low brush as well. BrIng bug spray though or you mIght get carrIed away!

One of my favorite camgrounds! Quiet and peaceful (minus the low constant buzz of skeeters) with great campsites i‘ve spent more then my share of weekends here. Entire days have been burnt exploring the low tide rocks, tidal pools, and collecting stones. As a photographer, the sunsets are spectacular and full of color!

If you looking to find the treasure at the end of the road.. THIS IS IT!!

Just when you thought you have seen all the simple road system of Alaska.. turn right on Kenai Spur Road and go to the end.. literally. There you find a hidden treasure, few find! We found this on one of our " Let's just drive" adventures.

Be sure to bring all the supplies you need as the nearest store is 20 minutes back the way you came.. that includes wood.. unless you scavenge the beach for some.

We arrived in the mist of torrential rain.. common for August in Alaska.. and quickly wished for that extra tarp I didn't want to pack. Each camp spot is small but clean with a fire pit and table. You will be surrounded by trees and foliage which provide privacy and the cook inlet is one full side of your site! A complete plus!

There is a lake near by called Stormy Lake where you can launch a boat, kayak or canoe. You will need bring your own as there are no rentals here. You can fish here or in the river that runs near by, Swanson River. Remember you need a fishing license (16+) as game wardens pop up like leprechauns in Alaska :)

Where there are fish there are bears.. so be bear aware. Carry bear spray, keep food in your car or do the triangle food hang ( not sure you can google that) and keep a clean camp site. You may also see Eagles and moose!

There are fresh water pumps and state bathrooms.. which provide a dry spot in torrential rain.. no judging here..

For those of you who love to RV there are Rv sites and sites for handicap and day sites.

There is plenty of trails to just wander and take in the beauty around you. We took full advantage of being the only people out beach combing in the rain. We read this is a good agate beach.. we didn't find any but the rain make everything bright and shiny so we used this time for wonderful photos.

overall a wonderful end of the road experience, with few people and wonderful nature!!

if you are a rock hound this is the place for you! the campground itself is one of my personal favorites on the peninsula. the secludedness, the beauty, and honestly the mantality of the people coming through. it's nothing fancy, no hook ups no level paved driveways for your class a motor home, but if you're looking for a place to reconnect to nature, you've found the perfect place! just don't forget the bug spray or it won't be the bears you have to fear eating you. miles of beach to walk and scavenge for aguts and jade. there's plenty of camp spots to chose from, three well kept outhouses and a ice cold water pump to rinse off those sandy toes after a long day on the beach

Right on the Kenai river with a campground and boat launch. Tons of stores etc in Soldotkna minutes away to include a laundry mat five minutes away.

Road in is dirt and in good condition. They have people at the front that collect fees of people coming and goin. Lots of people coming through to use the boat launch, but you can't beat the beautiful turquoise of the Kenai river. Also, a beautiful mile or so trail along the river so people can pay $8 to park for the day. Plenty of restrooms and picnic tables. level camping spots and spots were nice and spread out so you aren't on top of your neighbor.

Also, close to Kenai Wildlife Refuge, a couple minutes away. So check out the visitors center and the trails off the visitors center. Well maintained and scenic!
