We followed our RV GPS and turned off AK-1 at Bean Creek Rd, which brought us to the Kenai Princess RV Park. A steep left turn led to the office, where we had a super friendly check-in. There was an RV in our site when we arrived, but the office quickly moved them to the overflow. The sites were split on two sides of a wide road with a large turnaround area, so backing into Site 35 with FHUs (30 AMP) was easy. The site was long enough for our 40’ toy hauler, including dropping the patio, and we could still park our F450 crosswise. Sewer connections were at the back center of the pad, with water and electric at the center—no issues. Water pressure was about 40 PSI. Because of perimeter trees and fishermen’s vehicles, we set Starlink on the roof for a clear sky shot. Verizon gave us 2 bars, while T-Mobile had no service. There were paths around the campground to the lodge and down to the lake, which we enjoyed walking with our pups. There weren’t many grocery options in Cooper Landing. The nearest major amenities were about an hour away in Soldotna. Overall, this was a decent campground that met our needs.

Nice RV campground. Very helpful staff. Clean facilities. The Princess Lodge is right above, with a gift shop and a great restaurant.

This is an awesome spot above the Kenai River. Great showers and laundry. Friendly and helpful staff. The park is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Cooper Landing; but is only a few minutes away. Bonus: the lodge just above the park, that RV guests can use. Great restaurant and gift shop on site.

Great campground with wonderful mountain views. Very clean and modern bathrooms. $45. I withhold one star because of coin-operated showers. That's always seemed a chintzy way to extract a few more dollars out of customers.

I love this campground. It is very clean and has great restrooms and a washing machine area. You cannot beat the mountain views in this RV park it is a small RV park though. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone in the area.
