Homer, AK · 16 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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, Seaside was once part of an original Alaska pioneer homestead.
It is also the home of hundreds of songbirds, moose, coyotes, wild hares, flocks of sandhill cranes, two sweet Morgan Horses, an assortment of chickens and visitors seeking peace, nature, wildlife, pristine beaches, in a real Alaska, non touristy setting.
This property has three different types accommodations: Rustic, cozy cabins, a big field for tent campers, and a few spaces reserved for 4 wheel drive vans, and small vehicle camping, including rooftop tents
If you prefer camping away from the tourist crowds, you will find our soft clover meadows and well kept lawns, a deluxe and memorable experience. The beach is a short walk down the trail, where its peaceful and private, with only the sound of the seagulls and waves. Van campers have a few special areas to park their vehicles, with views of the glaciers and mountains. There is limited parking and turnaround space, and we like our farm not too crowded, to provide a special rural experience to all who visit. It helps to call or text before you arrive to make sure we are on site and can help you with parking!
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 but 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 dogs, but 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!

The campsites feature flat gravel pads, picnic tables, and fire rings. Our cabins provide direct access to hiking and riding trails. Amenities include a coffee counter, comfortable foam mattresses, electricity, a heater, a Keurig coffee maker, and a hot water kettle. Please bring your own drinking water.

We offer sites with tables and fire rings. Additionally, there's an "Open Camping Area" at the back, suitable for larger groups.

Please bring your own water and keep your camp tidy. Follow simple and common camping rules.
Pinochle Trail extends north into the backcountry for about 12 miles, connecting with other trails.
Pinochle Trail is part of the historic Knik - Nelchina Trail, used by natives, trappers, miners, and hunters for centuries. It follows the natural route from the Matanuska Valley over the mountain range into Copper River country.
Hicks was one of the early guides who had a cabin at Hicks Creek. Along with U.S. Army Lieutenant Joseph Castner, he helped blaze a trail northwest for Captain Glenn in 1898. Described in his journal as a "Tale of Hardship and Suffering," they ended up eating their mules and shoes before reaching their distant goal to the north. Today, we use these trails with relative ease compared to the early explorers, but the scenery and mud holes still remind us of what they endured.

Homer, AK · 4 sites · Tents, Lodging
A few things that make my place unique:
My 5 acres is part of the famous 620-acre Kilcher Homestead, as seen on “Alaska the Last Frontier” TV show. I am the 7th of the 8 children; Atz and Otto are my brothers. There is a special feeling here vibrating in the land, and why our parents picked this spot. Full outdoor kitchen with all you need to cook and wash up; BBQ, hotplate, pure drinking water, spices, pots/pans/dishes etc. The atmosphere feels so pure, so silent, so wild yet comfortable. Drive-in access sometimes, or have to walk 15 minutes, and no issues with mosquitoes!!! You get to meet me and maybe other family members as you cruise around. Homer is 35 minutes away, with oodles of things to do there: great restaurants, a lap pool, fun shopping, etc. We have quite good cell reception here. Lots of options to enjoy your stay!

Twin Rivers Wilderness
17. Twin Rivers Wilderness
Homer, AK · 9 sites · Tents, RVs
Twin Rivers Wilderness is a 520-acre private wilderness area, uniquely situated as a private inholding within the Fritz Creek/Anchor River Critical Habitat Area. It offers an exceptionally private and remote wilderness experience despite being only 8 miles, as the crow flies, from downtown Homer—about a 30-minute drive along a beautiful scenic route. AWD or four-wheel drive is recommended, especially during rainy conditions, as access requires traveling 3.3 miles on a dirt road. No RVs, please.
We have miles of trails, including both maintained and game trails, that wind through extensive moose habitat. Wildlife commonly seen on the property includes moose, bears, lynx, porcupines, birds, and many other species.
The communal areas are still under development as of June 2026, and some construction activity is taking place near the basecamp yurt and several of the unique clear polycarbonate domes. As a result, we are currently welcoming adventurous travelers who enjoy rustic camping experiences and do not require luxury accommodations. While our infrastructure is still limited, we do provide water, power, and Wi-Fi near our runway hangar camping area, which is suitable for tent and car camping.
The property is located on the toe of a ridge above the confluence of the Anchor River and Twitter Creek. Beyond the rivers, we are surrounded by thousands of acres of pristine, undeveloped public wilderness. Enjoy spectacular views of the volcanoes across Cook Inlet to the west and the Kenai Mountains across Kachemak Bay to the south. Our nearest neighbors are miles away. The landscape includes wetlands, meadows, forests, steep valleys, streams, and creeks.
In addition to our extensive trail network, we offer guided hikes, guided e-bike tours, and unique packrafting day trips on the Anchor River. At our sister property, located nearby, we also offer ATV tours of the surrounding countryside.

This location was his and his wife’s main home of living where they made this homestead and rented cabins and had a little store to produce extra income to raise their family.

I am a lifelong Alaskan and this is now one of my favorite places to camp. The lake views were beautiful and it was so private it felt like we were alone in the woods. We heard and saw many loons and eagles. The hosts were so nice and hospitable. They had even sprayed the lot with bug repellent and that was a game changer.

Such a great campsite! I can't say enough about our hosts, they were just great. We stayed here 3 nights over the 4th of July weekend to see the Glacier View Car Launch. They cut a shortcut path down to the road which made our hike easier. We had a campsite that overlooked the Mantanuska Glacier - fantastic. We also avoided the massive traffic and road parking for the event. Dry campsite, but the pit-toilet bathrooms were the best we've ever seen. Clean, not smelly and stocked with supplies. We absolutely loved Pinochle Trail Campground and, if are ever back here, will stay again!

A piece of Alaska history that I was able to enjoy. Joe and his wife were lovely hosts. Felt private compared to any other options in the area. Grounds well maintained. Greeted upon arrival and felt welcomed immediately. Would highly recommend for the Alcan transient to the local Anchorage family looking to beat the Kenai crowds.

The hosts were on site at our arrival and showed us to our open sites (we were traveling in a group). They were very helpful and friendly!! Absolutely stunning views from some of their outer sites. Our site was a bit tricky to get level, but most other sites looked to be pretty level. The view made up for the effort to get level. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay in the Wildflower cottage at Seaside Farm was the perfect ending to our magical week in Alaska. The farm is right on the bay, with stunning views in an idyllic setting. The small cottage had everything that we needed, and I slept wonderfully in the loft bed.
Seaside Farm is a great place to stay while exploring Homer and the surrounding area. I would definitely go back and stay longer next time.
