Overview
Overview
Stariski State Recreation Site offers a quintessential Alaskan camping experience for those traveling along the Sterling Highway. This park is not a full-service resort but rather a scenic, rustic destination that highlights the raw beauty of the Kenai Peninsula. It is ideal for travelers who prioritize unobstructed coastal views and a peaceful atmosphere over modern luxury amenities, serving as a perfect waypoint between Soldotna and Homer for those seeking an authentic connection to nature.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Anchor Point, AK, the park is perched on a bluff overlooking the Cook Inlet. The location is famous for its stunning sunset vistas across the water toward the Aleutian Range. Surrounded by a mix of coastal meadows and spruce forests, the environment is quiet and secluded. Being positioned right off the main highway makes it an accessible yet tranquil spot to experience the rugged character of the Alaskan coastline.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground is designed for self-contained RVs, offering level gravel sites that accommodate various vehicle sizes. While it lacks water or electric hookups, the park features essential facilities, including fire rings and picnic tables for outdoor dining. Visitors will find clean vault toilets and a well-maintained trail system that provides direct beach access for those looking to walk along the shoreline or explore the tide pools during low tide.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Anchor Point is known for being the westernmost point on the U.S. highway system, making it a bucket-list destination for many road trippers. Nearby activities include world-class halibut fishing charters that depart from the local beach. Visitors can also drive a short distance into Homer to explore the iconic Spit, visit local art galleries, or enjoy fresh seafood while watching fishing vessels navigate the busy harbor waters.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is best suited for independent RVers who enjoy boondocking-style camping and value scenery above elaborate campground services. It appeals strongly to photographers, birdwatchers, and anglers who want to be close to the water. If your travel style centers on finding quiet, beautiful places to recharge before tackling the next leg of your Alaskan journey, Stariski provides the perfect backdrop for your adventure.

#16.5 Homer 08/10-21 Stariski State Park FF$20p/n Sites 13 & 11 - Verizon worked great. If you want to wake up and go to sleep in sight of three volcanoes and the inlet this is the place to be! Both sites are spacious #13 has room for two tents #11 even more. Hand pump well water smelled like iron and we only used for washing dishes. Trash dumpster by Two vault toilets that were well maintained. Firepits at every site, no bear boxes. Due to the views this is now one of our favorite camping spots. We showered in private luxury while doing our laundry at a laundromat on Main Street. Save U More nearby will save you more and you’ll find many not found in a typical supermarket items. A delight for anyone with celiac’s disease. We were in close proximity to several trails and the beach. Highly recommend the Diamond Trail which is about a 20min drive from campground. Especially enjoyed the privacy and lack of neighbors.

Great spots for camping. Private, outhouse style bathrooms, trash receptacle, fire pits, and picnic tables. Very relaxing

This is a quiet rv campground with some spectacular views! The place is clean and kept up. We had a quiet night. It is a short drive into Homer from here making it perfect to "get away from it all". Overnight prices are super reasonable and the bathrooms are clean. The water pump works well. Will stay here again.

A nice, small, quiet campground with no hookups located about 25 miles north of Homer. Cost was $20/night. We had a great Verizon signal so we had internet, etc. The park is right along the ocean, but on top of a several hundred foot cliff. Stunning views from the cliff edge! There’s beach access a few miles down the road.
