Spot was great for our 22ft travel trailer. Nice and quiet, full hookups, and absolutely a great location between Homer and Soldotna for all the fishing opportunities! The host was awesome!

Weekend Trip to Lazy J Ranch
Absolutely beautiful place to stay! The cabins were amazing and had everything we could have needed! Loved seeing all the animals out there too! It’s such a wonderful and beautiful drive right outside of Homer. Everything was nice and close including the wash house which was super nice to have and clean! Vikki was an outstanding host! Despite all the questions I had, she was super kind and very quick to respond and accommodating! Will definitely be returning in the future!

Albatross was the perfect place for our dipnetting trip. It is close to the south beach entrance and has fish cleaning stations to process your catch. We stay every year at dipnetting time.

Serena was a super host! The campsite was as advertised, but when we got there we noticed that the Meadows site better fit our needs than the Sweet Spot and was unoccupied at the time. Serena was quick to our request to change sites and generous in accommodating our request. She also helped us with an unexpected supply shortage and saved us a long trip to the closest store. The site itself is lovely, very quiet and right next to shore so it gave us a beautiful sunrise view of Mt. Redoubt. With Serena's assistance we had a great and memorable stay!

The owner Jonathan was very accommodating. The area was not like a campground and more like an RV parking camp. Great hook-ups for power, water and sewer. The shower and laundry facilities were having an issue but the camp host Terry made up for it. I thought it was a bit expensive for the lack of wilderness around it but you can smoke, can and process your fish all in the communal. The camp host can show you how if you are not experienced in process your goods already.
We will definitely stay there again if we get a discount! The area was perfect for fishing the Kenai.

Albatross Fish Camp is really close to the Kenai and the Kasilof rivers so super conveniently located! It’s easy to get to and the people are so friendly. There is room to clean your fish and they have bags and a vacuum sealer for a fee as well as freezer space. There is always a fire going at night and people telling their share of fish stories. The cabins are cute and simple with most everything you need. I love the low maintenance vibe and look forward to many more visits!

This campsite was pure magic—surrounded by blooming fireweed, gentle horses, and the most stunning bay and mountain views. We spent our days beach-combing and evenings by the fire with s’mores. Peaceful, clean, and thoughtfully cared for. A true hidden gem—we can’t wait to come back.

Great spot that's close enough to the highway to be convenient but far enough to be quiet and private. Kids loved exploring the forest. And it's just a short drive or bicycle ride to river access.
