Thanks for updating your website to reflect you DON’T have a dump station!! Maybe put a BIG PIECE of GRAY tape over the RV DUMP 20.00 it is misleading since you claim it’s been closed for a year!! And you definitely know how to use tape as that is what you used to reflect the increase of night camping!!

It provides day parking/use, overnight camping for tents, RVs, and trailers. Its first come, first serve and will fill up. Does require liesence plate numbers at check in. No ATVs allow but are able to back out of a toy hauler and park it. Pets must be on a leash. Multiple bathrooms available. Camping spots are decent size, did see bigger ones with larger campers/RVs. Boat launch is available for a fee. Best thing is its basically on the river so can walk right to it and fish. When finding a spot if the reservation hanging has a C on it then it means that person's stay has finished and if the spots empty its up for grabs. For an emergency stay in soldotna, we had fun staying here and loved the board walk seeing the fishermen. We paid 39$ per spot to park our trailer overnight. Check out is at noon.

Nice not too crowded, privacy and number of options available to choose between to do onsite fishing. Nice fire pits in the individual sites to utilize

We absolutely loved staying at the swiftwater campground, they are large campgrounds and you pay at the front. It isn’t expensive and such a great location right up against the Kenai, it allowed us to fish day and even night if we wanted to. They have lots of ramps down to the water. It seemed pretty clean and it’s a very convenient location, they have restaurants and grocery stores just down the road which allows door dash if needed. We liked everything about it and caught lots of fish. If we come back to Alaska we will be staying and fishing here. They have have fillet tables on the ramps next to the water where you can clean and fillet the fish.

Beautiful campgrounds, easy access to the Kenai River will definitely be back !!!

We didn't catch any fish, but that wasn't the campground's fault. Unfortunately we came on a day when the fish counts were just low. The site itself was nice and it was a tiny bit less crowded than Centennial Campground down the road. There's really nice river access including a boardwalk you can fish from if you can't/don't want to enter the water. Toilets were a little overused but that's kind of to be expected during this busy season. Campsites were decently spaced but you can hear the neighbors' music, dogs, and kids, so if you're looking for a super quiet nature retreat this may not be the place for you. Costs $26 per night.

Good views and easy river access. Always enjoy going here since it's right by the house
