Seaside Farm is a 30 acre, magical, park like farm on the shores of Kachemak Bay, just outside of Homer, a few miles down from the Kilcher Homestead where I grew up in the 1940's! . Now a song bird sanctuary, with trails, lawns, gardens, trees, hay fields, and a private beach, cabins, a clover camping meadow, it was also once part of an original Alaska pioneer homestead. Although an organic farm, with hay fields, pastures, farm buildings and raspberry patch, it is also the home of hundreds of songbirds, moose, coyotes, wild hares, flocks of sandhill cranes, two sweet Morgan Horses, and an assortment of chickens. I love sharing my farm and home with travelers, and visitors seeking peace, nature, wildlife, walks on pristine beaches, and connecting with nature, in a real Alaska, original, and non touristy setting. This property has three different types accommodations: Rustic, cozy cabins (no indoor running water), a big field for tent campers only, and a few spaces reserved for 4 wheel drive vans , and similar small vehicle camping, including rooftop tents and occasionally a small pop up trailer. If you prefer camping away from the tourist crowds, you will find our soft clover meadows, surrounded by green trees and well kept lawns, a deluxe and memorable experience. The beach is a short walk down the trail, where its peaceful and private, with no motorized vehicles or noisy crowds, only the sound of the seagulls, and the waves. Van campers have a few special areas to park their vehicles, most with a stunning view of the glaciers and mountains. There is limited parking and turnaround space, and we like our farm peaceful and not too crowded to provide a special rural experience to all who visit this magical farm. It helps to call or text before you arrive to make sure we are on site and can help you with parking and other details! There are three cabins sprinkled throughout the property. Two are off grid, close to the beach, private and magical, with wood stoves. All cabins are able to use the main farm lodge amenities, just a few minutes walk away and have their own outhouses..all with amazing views! You can walk on the beach from the main lodge parking area, there is a covered camping pavilion available to all guests, a communal campfire spot and bbq grill, lovely maintained walking trails and meadows, and even wifi! We allow most types of dogs, but do ask you to contact us before booking with us, so we can let you know our rules before you travel. All dogs must be well behaved, social, on leashes and at owner's side at all times to protect our trusting wildlife from accidental harm, like our baby pheasants, moose, bunnies, and songbird nests! TOURS OPTION As the eldest of the Kilcher clan (yes, the homestead family portrayed on the "Alaska The Last Frontier" tv series), and when time allows, I'm open to give a special tour of the unique and historic Kilcher Family Homestead and original sod roofed, log cabin museum. Available only by special prior arrangement for an extra fee (donation to the museum)

The best camping in Kachemak Bay State Park and State Wilderness Park, AK guide

Overview

About

Accessible only by boat or plane, Kachemak Bay State Park—Alaska’s first state park—offers 400,000 acres of preserved wilderness, with ample hiking, fishing, wildlife spotting, and kayaking. Over 85 miles of trails run through the park, with hiking routes that lead through forests and out to glaciers, plus a hand-operated cable car for the willing and brave. You can camp in most of the park, and there are designated campsites with fire rings, picnic tables, toilets, bear lockers, and tent platforms. There are also a few cabins and yurts for those who want more creature comforts.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • There are 21 campsites available at the park, but they can't be reserved in advance. The best way to secure your site is to plan your visit for the middle of the week.
  • Park maps detailing the locations of all campsites are available and can be useful for those looking for a spot to set up a tent.
  • The park has six public-use cabins, available to reserve up to seven months in advance through Alaska State Parks. There are also six privately managed yurts scattered throughout the park. Additional information is available through the Homer Ranger Station.

When to go

Kachemak Bay State Park is very much a summer destination, and access is limited during the long snowy winters. Opening dates vary depending on snow conditions,  but the park is generally open from the middle of May until the beginning of September. Temperatures are at their warmest in July and August, but always be prepared for sudden and extreme weather changes.

Know before you go

  • There's no road access to the park, so the only way to get here is by boat or plane. Water taxis and air charters from Homer are available.
  • For those traveling with their own boats, there's an 80-foot dock at Halibut Cove Lagoon that can accommodate boats up to 26 feet in length, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Be prepared for long periods of daylight. Light sleepers who want to ensure they get their beauty rest should probably pack an eye mask.
  • Do not leave food remnants anywhere in the park. Bear-resistant trash cans are available throughout the park.
