Best RV Parks & Resorts near Tyonek, AK

69 Reviews

Several RV parks are located across Cook Inlet from Tyonek, Alaska, primarily in the Soldotna and Sterling areas. River Terrace Campground in Soldotna offers year-round RV camping with full hookups including 50-amp service, water, sewer, and is designed to accommodate big rigs. Nearby, Kenai River RV Campground provides electric hookups with both 30-amp and 50-amp service options, though with limited sites. Bing Brown's in Sterling features 15 RV sites with full hookups operating seasonally from May through September. Real Alaskan Cabins and RV Park offers big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electrical service and spacious sites. "Very large RV sites right along the rivers edge," notes one camper about Edgewater Lodge and RV Resort, which operates from mid-May through Labor Day.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak salmon fishing season when RV parks throughout the region fill quickly. Most RV campgrounds in the area provide sanitary dump stations, with River Terrace and Klondike RV Park offering sewer hookups at individual sites. Cell service is generally reliable in established RV parks near Soldotna but may be limited in more remote locations. The road conditions to most RV parks are well-maintained, though some secondary roads may be bumpy after rain. Pets are welcome at most RV campgrounds in the region, including River Terrace, Sunrise Resorts, and Klondike RV Park. For RVers planning extended stays, Centennial Park & Campground offers a dump station and electric hookups with convenient access to the Kenai River, though one reviewer noted: "Hidden fees killed the love... if you have a towed car or motorcycles with your camper they will charge you."

    Discovery Campground

    Terrific campground

    Wonderful stay at 50 site primitive campground. Big rig friendly, clean, private sites. Clean vault toilets, pump for water, trash, no dump station. Lots of wildlife - moose with calves in cg. Great fishing in Cooks Inlet, Stormy Lake, and Swanson River all steps from the campground. Beachcombing and rockhounding on beach. Stunning views.

    Captain Cook State Recreation Area

    Captain Cook State Park: Discovery Campground

    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!

    Need to knows:

    • 53 total camp sites
    • Good for either tent or motorhome campIng
    • Each site provIdes a fIre pit, a picnic table and a bench.
    • Well water and a dumpster are provIded.
    • Bathrooms are clean and decently kept.
    • BrIng your supplies: the nearest market Is about 20 mInutes away.
    • Bug spray Is a necessity!
    • Bears are occasional visitors so keep your eyes open.

    Discovery Campground

    Off The Beaten Path

    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)

    Dolly Varden Lake Campground

    Great little campground

    We lived in this area for 40 yrs. This is not the only campground in this park. There are a number of small lakes and even a canoe trail connecting many of them. The campgrounds range from ones with tables and fire rings , to tent spots with no amenities and a short drive to the pit toilets. There is no water, cell service, or hookups anywhere close by and It is a long dirt road fom the main hwy. It is well maintained. Unless it's been raining, then it can be bumpy and muddy. A 20 foot trailer is about all anyone would fit in most spots. Randy

    End of the Road Captain Cook Rec Area

    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!!

    Centennial Park & Campground

    Good central location

    If you’re looking for a campground with access to the Kenai River, and walk distance to downtown Soldotna, this is it. Typical Alaskan camping...no hookups, but nicely wooded and mostly private. Walking distance to some of the best road accessible fishing in Alaska.

    Discovery Campground

    rocks!!!

    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

    Centennial Park & Campground

    Convenient campground

    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!

    Right by the river

    Have stairs and have access to river to fish. Showers are coin operated and $1.50 for 7 minutes. Toilets are available. No standard picnic tables expect for deluxe sites. Campsite is right across Soldotna visitor center. Not very scenic but location is great!
