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.

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

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.

The Cathedral Peaks are directly across the river from the property, which has southern exposure and each campsite has sunset views. All the salmon species swim up the river. The subject property has nursery streams for the salmon. They do not spawn here, but the fry come from upstream spawning grounds to grow up a bit before heading out to the ocean. Swans nest in a nearby pond and sometimes play in the river out front. Evenings and nights are quite and peaceful

🌿 Welcome to Playful Arts Camp: Tiny House Sanctuary!
Nestled on just over an acre of wild land on the edge of Anchorage in the Chugach Mountains, this peaceful retreat offers a blend of wilderness and creativity. The property is within walking distance—or a short drive—from the Chugach National Forest, part of the second-largest national forest in the United States, known for its breathtaking shorelines, glaciers, forests, and rivers.
Your adventure begins down a narrow, winding driveway best suited for vans or Class B RVs under 20 feet. You’ll park near a cozy tiny house surrounded by natural beauty and the sounds of Alaska’s wildlife. There are no hookups or showers. An outhouse is available for campers, and a small stream runs most of the summer. You may also have access to a hand-pump well, though the water has a high iron content.
Depending on your arrival time, you’ll have a couple of parking options. The easiest is to pull just past the tiny house and park near the garden area. Multi-day stays are welcome.
Your host spent 20 years working as a river and wilderness guide, leading guests through some of Alaska’s most remote and beautiful places. When available, he enjoys sharing stories, music, and local travel tips on the porch.
Today, he teaches music—guitar, banjo, mandolin, and ukulele—and offers Feldenkrais classes and sessions at his Anchorage studio, Playful Arts. This work is rooted in a vision of healing, wellness, and human connection.
RV parking and camping are offered as a way to meet travelers on their Alaskan journeys and to share this special piece of wild land with kindred spirits.

We are a professional sled dog kennel that runs a summer tour operation, as well as hosts overnight guest in clamping rental accommodations. We are located just 30 minutes south of the famed Denali National Park & Preserve, right off the Parks highway in the quaint village of Cantwell. We are in a very accessible location that is perfect for those searching for a stay close to the National Park and other local attractions, but far from the crowded tourist areas near the entrance of Denali.
You will need your own vehicle to access our property and get to any nearby attractions, trails, restaurants etc.
At our property you will have the unique opportunity to stay with a real team of sled dogs and book a discounted tour if you want. Your accommodations are cozy, yet rustic, private and peaceful. We are off a gravel road and a short walk to the Jack River or up to the tundra.
We are off-grid so all of our power is generated by generator or solar, and the tent will have a small solar charger for cell phones & tablets, but no large voltage electronics.
We haul all of our water either from the river, a local spring or the gas station so we ask those staying with us are conscious and willing to limit their consumption of water here.
We are in bear country, so while our sled dogs act as very good bear deterrent, we still ask people to be smart when walking around the area or storing food.
Please be respectful of wildlife and keep a safe distance, make lots of noise when hiking.
There is good AT&T and verizon reception here, but we do not offer wifi connectivity so take the opportunity to read a book and disconnect for a bit.
We live on the property and will be able to help from 8 am to 10 pm, so contact us with questions or concerns.
We hope you'll join us for a stay, surrounded by gorgeous views that you won't forget!

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!

Nice camping site. However Site 7 & 8 are angled the wrong way for the one way access road. My truck/trailer rig is 45' overall. I had to come in the access road the wrong way to be able to back in to the site.
The other issue is the site i sloped side to side, so you need to lift one side of the trailer to get level. Doable and a nice site when finally in.
Nice quiet place. Would do again, but try for a different site.
