Albatross was the perfect place for our dipnetting trip. It is close to the south beach entrance and has fish cleaning stations to process your catch. We stay every year at dipnetting time.

3 nights at Albatross Campground RESERVATIONS

The owner Jonathan was very accommodating. The area was not like a campground and more like an RV parking camp. Great hook-ups for power, water and sewer. The shower and laundry facilities were having an issue but the camp host Terry made up for it. I thought it was a bit expensive for the lack of wilderness around it but you can smoke, can and process your fish all in the communal. The camp host can show you how if you are not experienced in process your goods already. We will definitely stay there again if we get a discount! The area was perfect for fishing the Kenai.

Albatross Fish Camp is really close to the Kenai and the Kasilof rivers so super conveniently located! It’s easy to get to and the people are so friendly. There is room to clean your fish and they have bags and a vacuum sealer for a fee as well as freezer space. There is always a fire going at night and people telling their share of fish stories. The cabins are cute and simple with most everything you need. I love the low maintenance vibe and look forward to many more visits!

Weekend Trip to Scenic View RV Park

The view is incredible. The host is friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. The sites are far enough from the highway to not hear the noise and I have to mention again the view is second to none. Not all sites have dump but some do. Would definitely stay again.

Aptly named: an absolutey beautiful view. No campers between our tent and the view. Host provided wood for a campfire both nights. An easy drive into Homer.
