This campground is a Coast to Coast Resort. It is right on the Kenai River and there is terrific salmon fishing. It's a great base camp for exploring the Kenai Peninsula. There is a cost for the wifi. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park for a base to explore the area. Good accessibility from the highway. Friendly and helpful staff. Not a destination park, but a it doesn't pretend to be. Will come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate is daily rate with no discounts, for full hookup, pull through site. Park is a block behind the Best Western Motel, registration for the RV park is at the motel. Park is a large open area that has sizable potholes near all three entrances. Sites are quite wide and roomy but there is no privacy. Park electric shut down several times during our stay for brief periods. May have had too many freezers with fish in them as most people seemed to be fishermen even though the park is some distance from the Kenai River. The restrooms and laundry facilities are across the street behind the motel. A park with few amenities, but also not nearly as crowded as those closer to the river. We stayed here both on our way to and from Homer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large lots, green grass, and space to park a tow vehicle are all positives for this park. Restrooms are showers really clean. Three washers and three dryers. Excellent staff provided useful information on the area and where to fish. Gravel spaces are stable and level. All utilities included in the rate. No cable and could not get satellite reception. Wi-Fi worked good. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great little park if you're working your way around Alaska. It's gravel, however we prefer it to the mud we've been experiencing. The sites are nice and wide, the hook ups all work and the laundry and restrooms are really clean. We were able to connect to satellite TV and the Wi-Fi they provide works fine. This is a great locale to travel to Kenai, Homer and Seward from here instead of moving. Nice folks at the desk, very informative. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Bathrooms have been added to the shower building. I have to admit, I was a bit reluctant to stay here based on previous reviews about the owners being very difficult to deal with, but I have to say, we experienced NOTHING like this. The owners were extremely pleasant to deal with. Super helpful and courteous. We had no problems with the Wi-Fi, and we were at the end of the row. I would have rated this park a 10 if they would have had some sort of playground for the children. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is nice, with large sites, clean showers, but no toilets. We stayed in 2009 and 2010. It could be one of the finest parks in Alaska, except for the new owner's attitude. New owners in 2010. Hosts are pleasant and try to do their jobs, but owner would not allow mowing, because of cost involved. We overheard an unpleasant conversation in office, when campers wanted a refund due to health issues of family member. We will not stay here again as long as current owners are involved. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park is one of the best we have experienced in Alaska. I would have rated it higher except the WiFi is practically non-existent. It works if you are in a line of sight with the antenna, but drops if anything comes between you and it. Also drops on its own for no reason at different times of the day. That said, we will definitely go back when in the area, knowing what to expect. The sites are large and not close to each other. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Do not be put off by the previous reviews, from our experience you get what you give whilst camping. The owner was very friendly and chatty, the on site host friendly and efficient and the whole place was beautifully maintained. Large sites, well kept lawns in the grass area and level gravel sites for your rig. Convenient to town for shopping yet away from the main road and therefore quiet. I can't understand why you would use the other two parks in the area. They are not a patch on this. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Newer, small park with very large gravel sites with grass in between. Plenty of space between sites. Wi-Fi didn't reach our site. Lots of RULES. Great location for fishing and shopping in Soldotna. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here 3 nights, were booked for four but left one day early to head north, the owner does have a little bit of an "attitude" i felt uncomfortable having to discuss anything with her, as she was always on the defensive, and i guess being in this business where people would abuse the park if rules were not enforced, but the rules do come on kind of strong, it is a long block to the river, the shower and laundry were clean and reasonable but there were no toilets, the gravel sight was very uneven, but rather than approach the owner we just dealt with it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We loved our stay here. We did witness the guy's arrogant attitude toward the owner of this park in the previous review. There is always 1% of every group that gives it a bad name and this guy was it. In our view, he created the problem, not the owner. Everyone in the campground we talked to was happy to be here and thought it was a wonderful oasis. The campground is clean, well maintained, and IS one block from the Kenai River which is nice because there is almost no noise from traffic. We had a great time and will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just spent 3 days here. Had a terrible time for the reasons stated below. We had a friend staying in an adjacent campsite and so I wanted my motorhome door to open toward their site. However, the owner was adamant that I back in and park straight (I thought that I might park either forward or at an angle to place the door at least somewhat favorably toward my friend's campsite). Also there are no bathrooms - I wanted to avoid the noisy motorhome bathroom in the middle of the night with 3 other persons in the motorhome. The owner was very difficult - I even heard her get upset at a 7 year old child for singing too loudly at 4pm. There are no firepits. There were only 4-5 picnic tables for all 27 campsites and we were not allowed to put our own table on the lawn. We were also not allowed to put a mosquito tent on the lawn. It cost me an extra $4/day/person for all persons beyond 2 persons/campsite. It is advertised at being 1 block from the Kenai River but the river cannot be seen or heard from the campground and the nearest river access is about half a mile away. It is located right on a main road with lots of road noise at all hours of day and night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The best part was at least there was some grass for the kids to play in and we met some super people also camping there. However, the owner of was more concerned with filling her spots than with our requests. Something I had no problems with anywhere else we camped. I booked the sites in advance and before we got to AK, I got an email saying she moved us. I wasn't crazy about it, but she wasn't about to move us back. Then when we were checking in, she had moved us again and put us up by the road. When I expressed my disappointment (I have two small kids and I was upset of not being notified in advance), she just gave the attitude that she didn't care if we stayed or not. There is no way we were going to find space in another park that time of year (the salmon were just arriving), so I felt I didn't have a choice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best in this area. They only except self-contained units since they do not have restrooms. The Laundry and showers were very clean. Would stay here again and I am sorry that I did not find this nice park sooner. Across the street from the Kenai River w/o all the noise. A new park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here a week and loved it. The campground is clean, level, and spacious. Trees and grass provide a nice buffer and feeling of privacy. The owners were helpful, friendly and longtime residents who know the area well. It's one block to the Kenai River and also very close to everything in town. We'll be back for sure. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean and spacious park. WiFi is a plus and unusual in Alaska. All sites are big, level and clean. Outstanding service, all new RV Park. These guys know what doing it right means and we'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is not very well maintained & is totally dry camping, although there is water available nearby. There are no restrooms other than pit toilets & they were not always very clean or well kept. The roads in the campground as well as leading to the campground are very rough dirt roads full of potholes. Really the only thing this campground has going for it is being right on the Kenai river with salmon fishing just steps away. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park has nice sites. The sites are wide and spacious. However, the check in person (presumed owner) has an attitude. Very stringent rules about everything. Not a good place to bring a pet. They say they will ask you to leave if your pet urinates or defecates in the park. You must take your pet to the woods behind the park. No bathroom facilities. Showers are clean. Wi-Fi worked well in our site. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was a homely, no frills CG (no hook-ups, no showers) right over the Kenai river. The park was extremely busy but we got a pull-through site that fit our 30 ft class A and toad. The dirt roads to and through the CG were very rutted and pot holed. There is a Fred Myer very close to the CG. CG noisy and busy late into the evening/night with an awful lot of traffic on the CG road. It seems to be a popular place for folks who don't mind standing elbow to elbow with dozens and dozens of others to fish the Kenai river. (I guess that's basically the point of the place.) OK for a day or two but overall we thought it was pretty bad. Next time we'll drive the extra miles to the Discovery CG in Captain Cook recreation area, it was much, much nicer and less money. We camped here in a Motorhome.
