Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Kenai Fjords National Park adventure.
See dozens of glaciers amidst rugged sea and forest at this natural wonder. Â
Set between Kachemak Bay State Park and the town of Seward, this massive national park protects the Harding Icefield and the wilderness around it. The only established campground in the park is in the Exit Glacier Area, which has 12 walk-in sites—two of which (sites #1 and #12) are ADA-accessible—free of charge, along with vault toilets, a pump with potable water, and a cooking area with bear-safe food storage. Backpacking is also an option, but even experienced backpackers will find this park a major challenge, so itâs wise to go with a professional guide.
Kenai Fjords is beautiful year-round, but if youâre coming to camp, July and August are the best (albeit busiest) months. The Exit Glacier area is usually blocked to vehicular traffic from late October until sometime in the spring due to snow, but you can still drive as far as you can and then go the rest of the way by snowmobile, fat bike, dogsled, or snowshoeing.
