Military Park Seward Resort (Fort Wainwright)

Audra Bird

The RV park is the most crowded I have experienced so far in Alaska. For $55 a night I thought we would at least have room to extend our shade awning all the way without hitting the camper next to us. There was a shared table between us and the camper next to us (who pulled in instead of back in so our “yard” was now shared instead of if the resort enforced proper parking we would have our own yard space) and it was 3 feet from our camper, but used by the neighbors- we had to squeeze by to get to our own camper door. Very uncomfortable and crowded. On base famCamp is $30/night and 100x the space. I just thought for nearly double the price we would have a better set up. The report has amenities if you need and is across from a park and only a few miles to downtown but I would not camp here again unless the prices reflected the true parking lot style camping that it is. We got breakfast burritos from the resort, they have several rude signs up in all caps telling you “not to ask how long it will take, don’t even joke and ask!” And then we recieved burritos with the bacon not fully cooked and the eggs slimy and not fully cooked. Ugg. Just expected a bit better so wanted others to be prepared.

We stayed at Seward Military Resort for a week of fishing along the Kenai Peninsula. While fishing was not as great as we wanted, we did catch Halibut, SockEye Salmon, a variety of Rockfish, and a Dolly Varden, which we couldn't keep. We did enjoy our stay despite the accommodations not being what we have been accostomed to in every other Military Vacation Facilities. Our "quarters" was a 2-story townhouse with a Full bed in a downstairs bedroom, a fold out "couch" is in the living room. A kitchenette, no oven, and 1 bathroom complete the downstairs. Upstairs is a bedroom with 2 twin beds. There were 5 of us and we were tripping over each other the entire time. There was no dresser for clothes in the bedroom. Supplies were limited: despite a sign directing guests to"please clean the dishes", there was no dish soap, no paper towels, no sponge or dish cloth. I the bathroom there is only a Shampoo dispenser. No Conditioner, body wash, or hand soap. To get new towels after a couple of days, we had to take the towels to the office, count them as we turned them in, in order to receive new ones. The Internet never had more than 2 bars and most of the time 0 bars. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We have stayed at Navy Lodges, USCG Base vacation homes, Marine Corps Campgrounds, and Gateway Hotels on Bases. This is not up to their standards. I will look for an ABB next time we go to Seward.

We utilized Seward Military Resort to book a tour during our stay in Seward. The staff were super helpful, polite, and professional. Appreciate them partnering with local companies to offer discounts to military connected families - makes family vacations a little more affordable.

The winter rates are amazing. We have a quilt retreat here and the space is perfect to hold up to 25 quilters. The dining area is spacious and its fun to share it with other guests. The complimentary coffee in the lobby and access to hotwater and a water bottle refill are all pluses. The gift shop has nice variety and the sales I've hit have been amazing. The staff are gracious, helpful and accommodating, especially Connie, but all of them really.

We've stayed in both the RV park and the yurts and enjoyed both experiences. You're conveniently located close to Seward and the grocery store. The facilities are kept so clean. Even when we visited on the 4th of July and it was busy, everything was kept tidy and didn't feel crowded.
