It’s first-come, first-served at Caines Head Campground, a tiny bunch of sites near the shores of Resurrection Bay. All manner of alpine beauty will be your backyard, and you’ll enjoy epic hiking. If that weren’t enough, your main water feature is pretty much the North Pacific. The rustic sites fit right in with all the natural splendor. This is Alaskan wilderness like you’ve always heard about. Make it your playground!

Property is easily accessible from the Seward Highway and room for boat or RV parking.

It since has been converted to a residence and upstairs rental. Kenai lake access is 1 mile away down trail River Road (picture is of the lake shore that's accessible). Russian river is about a 25 minute drive north off the Sterling. Seward is the other direction about the same distance. Moose Pass is 5 miles away with a convenience store. Lots of great fishing in the area and this location is ideal being it is central. There are lots of hiking trails close by. We are not located in any town, but rather the Crown Point community.
