I think you have two types of people in this world: vacationers and travelers. If you're a traveler type, this place is a gem! We spent 11 days in Alaska traveling by camper van, and this was probably our favorite campsite of the trip. The spaces are close together, but we didn't find this too bothersome with our set-up on the beachfront row. Bathrooms were kept pleasantly clean. The showers weren't scalding, but they were plenty warm for us. Having laundry facilities on site was also extremely handy, as this was about halfway through our trip. The campground was super convenient to multiple restaurants and shops (including delicious coffee at Mug Up w/ Salmon Sisters). But the biggest pro, in our opinion, was the WILDLIFE! From the seat of our van we were able to observe sea otters, harbor seals, harbor porpoises, and HUMPBACK WHALES! So, make sure to keep your eyes peeled and your binoculars handy the whole time! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This place definitely delivers! They have hot showers, plenty of room, Easy access to the beach a variety of sites. Whether it’s in a tent full hook up, partial hook up, or dry camping. Is walking up the spit with a variety of shops, places to eat, or boat charters.

It was a good location and close to everything on Homer Spit. Over crowded, our neighbors had their tent in our section, left trash on our side. Toilets were clean, but if you wanted to shower you had to pay more. We got a water front spot which was beautiful

It was so fun to stay here! It was crowded, but the amazing location and view totally made up for it. Booking and check-in were simple, the bathrooms were nice, I didn't need to shower but my camp neighbors said the showers were great (no time limit on hot water). It was so fun to sit and watch the boats, the seals, the otters, the jumping salmon, and the sea-birds. Bring ear plugs; the seagulls never shut-up. The extra few bucks for the beachfront camping is worth it.

Stayed here two night. Got a waterfront spot which was great! Quiet hours didn’t seem to be enforced. Rude loud drunk people didn’t seem to care the rest of the campground wanted to sleep. Location is great! Campground is fine. Showers were freezing! It was the coldest shower I’ve ever had! Other reviews say nice hot showers, so lucky them! Over all I would stay here again just because the of the location.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this location deserves it. The camp site and view was beautiful, and the facilities, like the showers, laundry and bathrooms all work seamlessly. I stayed for a week and met almost every front desk person, and all of the ladies were so sweet and kind. Mostly I dealt with Lindsey, who is an angel!! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend you stay here.

The worst campground we’ve visited during three weeks in Alaska by a landslide. We left the campground heavily sleep deprived. There are other options in the area that are cheaper and are not worse. The beach can be accessed without setting foot in the campground. - the sites are tiny - noise way past midnight: people drinking, shouting, urinating on other people’s cars (not ours fortunately). The sober ones are blasting music or TV on high volume. - the WiFi is simply useless: if it connects, it’s too slow to load even a basic website - the restrooms and showers are super clean and the campground does deserve credit for this Overall, for 35$ or 50$ you don’t get a lot. If you just want to use the showers, you can pay 7$ at the front desk and you can spend your night somewhere more pleasant or at least less expensive.

We spent 3 days at the campground. Great location, you can walk to everything. Yes it’s very tight with the small beachfront sites but you get a picnic table and firepit right on the beach. And the views, wow! We are typically not RV park campers and prefer to boondock in remote locations but the location and scenery made it worthwhile. Despite it being 4th of July weekend, fellow campers were very respectful and it was surprisingly quiet. The staff are lovely and so helpful including fitting us in last minute. And did I mention the wonderful unlimited $2 hot showers? They were clean with multiple hooks to hang stuff up and even a swing down bench to keep things dry. Weather didn’t cooperate but we made the best of it. Definitely be prepared for rainy and chilly weather if a front rolls in!

Beautiful views! Great place to stay, though the sites are very packed and close, which would be expected based on location. The main issue is a known open ground in their electrical pedestals. Our 2022 Winnebago would not use their electric on 30A or 20A with or without an exterior surge protector. The surge protector showed no issues, but our built-in electronics detected this issue and would not charge our system or pass through electricity. Talking to the office, this is a known issue. Most rigs and setups just don't recognize it. Management made it right for us, but we had to go talk to them. Great place, but you may be using your generator if you have modern electronics in your rig.

Gorgeous camp spot! Kids really enjoyed themselves on the beach and the facilities are very well maintained. We stayed beachfront and the only reason it got a 3 star is because the after hours staff doesn’t actually do a 10pm quiet hour like stated in the reservations. I was told they would quiet people down at 12am. So sleeping in a tent with small children while your neighbors are rowdy and drunk is not fun.

This is a solid campground. Out on the tip of the spit produces some really good views when the weather is clear. There are fire pits next to each slot which maximizes convenience. Restrooms are pretty clean, and you can pay $2 to take a real shower in there centralized shower area. Bathrooms were very adequate. Walking distance to a lot of the shops and restaurants in Homer which is also convenient. Laundry seem to work well, check in process was easy. Staff was really nice, A+.

Great campground! Right on the beach! Nice showers that are separate from the restrooms with teak wood.. very clean and hot and unlimited time! The laundry facilities are nice and they sell laundry soap if needed. They also have quarters at the office.

Very busy. But very family oriented. Grounds are kept up nicely.
