Escape to Glacier View, Alaska, and experience the rustic charm of Pinochle Trail Campground, with breathtaking views of the Matanuska Glacier.

There are 25 flat, gravel sites situated directly across Pinochle Trailhead in Glacier View, Alaska. Perfect for hiking, biking, ATV riding, or snowmobiling on historic trails. Tents, trucks, cars, campers, RVs, dogsleds—whatever fits is welcome.
We offer sites with tables and fire rings. Additionally, there's an "Open Camping Area" at the back, suitable for larger groups. While a site may be assigned at booking, simply choose the best available spot that works for you upon arrival. Except for the 4th of July, when the site will be assigned upon your arrival. 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 · 17 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 property at this location is very special to us because my grandfather homesteaded here in the 60s and it’s still in the family. 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.

Seaside Farm was the most magical place I’ve ever been. The views and sounds of the ocean brought me so much peace, and the cabin was so cozy! I will forever remember our candle lit nights and mornings on the porch listening to the birds. My only regret is we couldn’t stay longer. I hope to be back soon!

As we drove up the road toward the campground, I remember saying, “How cool would it be if we had a view of Matanuska Glacier?” Then we pulled in and realized that many of the sites had incredible views. We were fortunate to get a spot right along the edge of the campground with an amazing view of the glacier and surrounding mountains.
The camp hosts came over to greet us soon after we arrived. They were incredibly friendly and even pointed out a few other sites we might like, although we were very happy where we were. They also gave us helpful recommendations on the best tour options for getting out and walking on Matanuska Glacier.
The campground itself was quiet and peaceful, with only a few neighbors around us. It really felt like a hidden gem. The hosts were lovely and seemed to genuinely love this place and enjoy sharing it with others. It ended up being one of those places that felt special from the moment we arrived.

Beautiful view of the Glacier, wonderful stay on our way from McCarthy to Anchorage. Pit toilets are well stocked, and well placed throughout so you don't have to walk too far for the bathroom.
Most of the spots are also well leveled for tent camping which we appreciated after coming from campsites in McCarthy that were all designed for RVs/car campers.

What an amazing hideaway this little campsite is! It was a little bit of a tight squeeze for our one slide out, but we made it work. We felt enveloped by the alders and berries, very private. Having water/electric hookups was so convenient we hardly wanted to leave each day. The view took our breath away, especially while having a fire in the fire ring. Pete and Lenore even provide wood for fire building and a bucket for dousing the fire. This was our first time using Hipcamp and we highly recommend Glacier View RV spot!
