My grandparents, Stany and Nelda Jones homestead here, my father was just a toddler when they moved here with his family from Texas. They homestead this area before there were roads, and could only travel to this location via the beach and climbing the bluff. My mothers family also Homestead on the Kenai, in Ninilchik, she was born and grew up there in the small river village. When her and my dad married they continued the Jones family tradition of ranching and farming. We decided to offer our family land and share its beauty with others. Your camping spaces are on a corner of the ranch property, near the shared gazebo fire pit. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Lazy J Ranch offers a tranquil and scenic camping experience with expansive views of Kachemak Bay. Many reviewers appreciated the clean facilities, including hot showers and flushing toilets, alongside the spacious campsites. The host, Vikki, is frequently praised for her friendliness and helpfulness. While the campsite is a bit of a drive from Homer, it provides a peaceful retreat with friendly farm animals and a touch of Alaskan homesteading charm.

Loved tent camping here! Directions were clear and Vikki was delightful! Was nice and quiet, great space, convenient bathroom, firewood available and dry, even had a shower attached to the bathroom with hot water! Would camp here again!

Site 4 - Homestead Getaways Tent or RV space
We stayed in the dry camp spots - primarily because we knew by this time in our trip we’d really need a shower. The place was clean, mowed and they have a great fire pit area. The bathroom and shower is incredibly basic, but stocked with some cleaning supplies so I was able to give it quick clean up before we showered. Thankfully, it was just us at the camp sites. I think if all four spots were filled you’d want to know the other campers or really cross your fingers that they were cool. The sites are very close together. The views from the back of the dry cabins is amazing - but cold on the windy and rainy night we were there. And the host was super easy to communicate with. She was quick to respond and gave good advice prior to arrival. If you’re looking to clean up and move on, this spot is great.

Site 1 - Homestead Getaways Tent or RV space
Was a spot to sleep and had beautiful views, however, there was a wedding the first night next door which was really loud. There isn't anything between the sites so you can hear what everyone else is doing. All in all a decent spot to sleep though.
