Driftwood Inn & RV Park
Overview
The Driftwood Inn & RV Park provides a unique coastal experience in the heart of Homer, Alaska. This family-owned destination is known for its historic charm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a favorite for travelers exploring the Kenai Peninsula. Unlike many large-scale commercial parks, this property offers a more intimate setting that connects visitors with the local community and the stunning natural beauty of the Alaskan coastline.
Location & Surroundings
You will find the park situated in the vibrant Old Town Homer district, just a short walk from the shores of Bishop's Beach. The surroundings are characterized by breathtaking views of Kachemak Bay and the snow-capped mountains of the Kenai Range. Being centrally located allows guests to enjoy a tranquil seaside environment while remaining within easy walking distance of local bakeries, renowned art galleries, and diverse dining options.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is well-equipped for modern travelers, offering sites with full hookups including 30 and 50-amp electricity. Guests can enjoy convenient access to high-speed Wi-Fi and cable television during their stay. On-site facilities include clean restrooms, hot showers, and laundry services. The park is designed to be a comfortable home base, providing a mix of back-in and pull-through sites that cater to various rig sizes while maintaining a cozy, community-focused feel.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Staying here puts you moments away from the famous Homer Spit, where you can browse local shops or book world-class halibut fishing charters. Nature enthusiasts often take advantage of nearby bear viewing tours or catch a water taxi to Kachemak Bay State Park for secluded hiking. After a day of adventure, strolling along the beach at low tide is a popular way to observe local marine life and enjoy the dramatic Alaskan sunset.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for RVers who value a walkable location and a quieter, more neighborhood-oriented vibe compared to the busy camping areas on the Spit. It is a fantastic choice for coastal explorers and couples looking for a peaceful getaway with direct beach access. Because of its proximity to galleries and cafes, it also appeals to travelers who enjoy immersing themselves in the local arts and culture of a small seaside town.

We had our wedding at the Driftwood Inn a few weeks ago and it was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. We rented out all the lodges along the bluff for a cabin weekend vibe with our closest friends and family. Our ceremony was in front the arbor by the Beach House and the reception was in a tent on the lawn in front of the Sea Side Lodge. Rikka and all her colleagues at the Driftwood were extremely professional and accommodating and overall a joy to work with. I cannot speak highly enough of the whole establishment and if you are considering having a wedding in Homer, the Driftwood in is a perfect choice.

Usually I ignore the sponsored places on Google, but that would be to your detriment in the case of this wonderful property. After being stiffed by a certain booking site with a reservation that did not really exist, we found the Driftwood nearby and booked last second at a rate that was cheaper than most I saw online in advance. The lodge rooms were beautiful, the views of the bay breathtaking, the beach access perfect, the staff kind and friendly, and the crowds of the Spit non-existent. Food was close by too and easy access to everything. Highly recommended!

The entire place is compact and neat. The rooms are very clean. Sheets and beds felt fresh and very comfortable. Great value for the room. The only setback in the room (not a setback for us but in general it could be) we stayed was that the restroom is very limited in space (less than 20” wide). For a big guy, it is almost impossible to go there but can utilize common bathroom.

Wonderful place to stay, especially on a budget in the summer. We stayed in the bunk rooms with the shared bathroom down the hall, on the second floor. The bed was SO comfortable and warm, I slept better here than at any of the other places I stayed in Alaska, and the staff was incredibly accommodating—we needed to leave a bag with them while bear viewing for four days at McNeil—and they took perfect care of it while we were gone. I would definitely love to come back again, it was great. And they have mugs! Get a mug!

My Husband and I booked a room in the main lodge. It was one of the smaller rooms and while it was small it was perfect! We only needed it for the one night so it being mall wasn't an issue. Having a private bath was the big selling point for us. The room was clean and well kept and the lobby was as well. The staff was amazing and its located next to a great breakfast spot!
