Waterfront Park
Overview
Waterfront Park in Seward is a unique municipal campground stretching along the scenic shores of Resurrection Bay. Managed by the City of Seward, this park is less a traditional private resort and more a collection of dedicated camping areas designed to maximize views of the water and surrounding snow-capped peaks. It offers a front-row seat to Alaska's coastal beauty, making it one of the most sought-after spots for RVers traveling the Kenai Peninsula for an authentic experience.
Location & Surroundings
The park sits directly between the charming town of Seward and the deep blue waters of the bay. Visitors are treated to panoramic mountain views and the constant activity of the bustling harbor. A paved multi-use path connects the various camping zones, providing a flat, scenic route for walking or cycling through the coastal environment. The proximity to the Seward Boat Harbor means you are never far from the sound of rigging and the fresh salt air.
Amenities & Park Features
While the park maintains a natural, open feel, it provides essential services including full hookup sites and electric-only options in specific zones like Resurrection and Alice. The park features centralized shower and restroom facilities that operate on a seasonal basis for all guests. A convenient dump station and potable water are available near the entrance. Most sites are well-maintained gravel and level, accommodating everything from small camper vans to larger motorhomes looking for a reliable base camp.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Staying here puts you within easy walking distance of the Alaska SeaLife Center, where you can learn about local marine conservation and see native animals. Boat tours departing from the nearby harbor offer world-class whale watching and glacier cruises into Kenai Fjords National Park. For those preferring land-based adventures, the short drive to Exit Glacier provides accessible hiking trails and breathtaking views of the massive Harding Icefield, making the park a perfect hub for daily exploration.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for active travelers who want to be in the heart of the action rather than secluded in the deep woods. It is a fantastic choice for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts who hope to spot sea otters or bald eagles right from their campsite window. If you value walkability to shops and local seafood restaurants while enjoying a stunning coastal backdrop, this city-run park offers a quintessential and convenient Alaskan camping experience.

camping Oceanside, fire pits right on the boardwalk sites, flushies and showers. There were no doors on the washrooms which included the showers so not that secure. I stood outside the washroom entrance so my wife felt comfortable showering in that environment. Absolutely beautiful vistas and walking distance to downtown! We would stay here again for sure!!

Well...it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. The price was 20.00 per night. You either paid cash to camp host (camp host was absent ) paid online or at the harbor Master. It took 20 minutes to download the online website because of slow slow slow data signal at the location. There were no specific sites, so it was a free-for-all as far as parking. There were plenty of spaces, but people felt the need to park right against your door. There are only 2 or 3 picnic tables in the entire parking area so most don't get one of those either. The trash was overflowing and smelled bad. NO RULES HERE The dog owned by the camp host was ripping up the trash bags that had been left beside the dumpster. There was some sort of camp going on. There were a lot of teenagers, and they all used the outhouse at the same time, so you prayed you didn't get the urge right then. It was just weird. For 20.00 a night, you get a place to park, a pit toilet that was sometimes available, and a great view.

This is a neat little park with a paved trail that shows off some of the coolest public features of Seward. Starts near the RV campgrounds and wraps up near the Alaskan SeaLife Museum. Lots of amazing views and wildlife to see.
