Camping near Seldovia

·

At the southwest tip of the Kenai Peninsula, Seldovia rewards the adventurous travelers who journey to its shores. Known locally as “the city of secluded charm,” Seldovia can only be reached by airplane or by ferry from Homer, but the payoff for this undertaking is big. Seldovia has beaches with spectacular views of the Cook Inlet, forest trails that begin in town, and an old-timey feel without the crowds of the other summer season hotspots on the peninsula. Popular recreational activities during Seldovia camping trips include kayaking, backpacking, fishing, birding, and wildlife viewing—look out for whales, otters, eagles, moose, and bears.

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!

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!

BOUYLAND

18. BOUYLAND

21mi from Seldovia · 1 site
Located seven miles from downtown Homer, the drive up East Hill and along Skyline Drive offers outstanding views of Kachemak Bay. BOUYLAND is completely surrounded by the Inspiration Ridge Wildlife Preserve; our 800-foot driveway is a frequent path for moose. A short walk through the alders reveals a vast panorama of Mt. Redoubt, Lookout Mountain, Beaver Creek, Bald Mountain, Fritz Creek, and the Kachemak Mountains. The Setting The scenery is beautiful, but amenities are sparse. Access is via a narrow grass driveway. The toilet is a clean, comfortable outhouse—best used with the door open to take in the view. There is no running water at the "Cabinette." The Pros Peace & Privacy: Away from the town bustle with a fair chance a moose will walk right past you. The Views: Incredible sunsets behind Mt. Redoubt. Nature: High and dry with hardly any bugs. Fresh Water: I developed a cool spring on-site in 2025. The Cons Rustic: Outhouse only and underdeveloped. Shared Space: We live on the lot (2.77 acres) and will drive past you. We’ll likely bump into each other, but you’re free to explore. Daytime Noise: Trucks occasionally haul gravel off Ohlsen Mt. in the summer. They rumble past (out of sight) during the day, but mornings and evenings are peaceful. Adventure & Trails We are directly adjacent to an Inspiration Ridge Wildlife Preserve trailhead. Explore Ohlsen Mtn Rd for hilly gravel/mountain biking with views of Mt. Iliamna. For road cyclists, Skyline Drive offers "sporty" riding to the Sterling Highway (expect some rough patches). The Wynn Nature Center is just two miles away, and the hike up Lookout Mountain to the VORTAC is a local favorite. The Legend of BOUYMAN BOUYLAND is the birthplace and home of BOUYMAN. Thirty years ago, this was a major attraction where 1,000 buoys and 1,000 lights festooned a circular grove of spruce. Though spruce bark beetles eventually took the grove, the spirit remains: BOUYMAN LIVES!

BOUYLAND

18. BOUYLAND

21mi from Seldovia · 1 site
Located seven miles from downtown Homer, the drive up East Hill and along Skyline Drive offers outstanding views of Kachemak Bay. BOUYLAND is completely surrounded by the Inspiration Ridge Wildlife Preserve; our 800-foot driveway is a frequent path for moose. A short walk through the alders reveals a vast panorama of Mt. Redoubt, Lookout Mountain, Beaver Creek, Bald Mountain, Fritz Creek, and the Kachemak Mountains. The Setting The scenery is beautiful, but amenities are sparse. Access is via a narrow grass driveway. The toilet is a clean, comfortable outhouse—best used with the door open to take in the view. There is no running water at the "Cabinette." The Pros Peace & Privacy: Away from the town bustle with a fair chance a moose will walk right past you. The Views: Incredible sunsets behind Mt. Redoubt. Nature: High and dry with hardly any bugs. Fresh Water: I developed a cool spring on-site in 2025. The Cons Rustic: Outhouse only and underdeveloped. Shared Space: We live on the lot (2.77 acres) and will drive past you. We’ll likely bump into each other, but you’re free to explore. Daytime Noise: Trucks occasionally haul gravel off Ohlsen Mt. in the summer. They rumble past (out of sight) during the day, but mornings and evenings are peaceful. Adventure & Trails We are directly adjacent to an Inspiration Ridge Wildlife Preserve trailhead. Explore Ohlsen Mtn Rd for hilly gravel/mountain biking with views of Mt. Iliamna. For road cyclists, Skyline Drive offers "sporty" riding to the Sterling Highway (expect some rough patches). The Wynn Nature Center is just two miles away, and the hike up Lookout Mountain to the VORTAC is a local favorite. The Legend of BOUYMAN BOUYLAND is the birthplace and home of BOUYMAN. Thirty years ago, this was a major attraction where 1,000 buoys and 1,000 lights festooned a circular grove of spruce. Though spruce bark beetles eventually took the grove, the spirit remains: BOUYMAN LIVES!

Hidden Springs Homestead

19. Hidden Springs Homestead

22mi from Seldovia · 1 site · Tent, RV
Hidden Springs Homestead is the remote, far NE corner of the original Homer Smith homestead patent. We are 14 miles from Homer Alaska by road. The property abuts a million acres of remote Alaska wilderness. The log cabin was built in 1973 out of local Lutz Spruce. It has large green lawn rhubarb and berry gardens, sod roofed sauna and out house. We offer one very private campsite for tent, campervan, or truck camper (flat gravel back in site). A rustic outhouse is available for your use. Please follow the outhouse rules. No potable water. Additionally, 15-amp electric service is available for an additional fee. Because we are adjacent to the Alaskan wilderness we can have wildlife around. No hunting is allowed on the property and brown and black bears, wolves, moose, porcupine, lynx and other wild creatures are around. We will brief you in person on avoiding encounters while moving about in this amazing place. Consider carrying bear spray deterrent when walking/hiking/camping anywhere in rural Alaska.

Seldovia camping guide

Where to go

Seldovia Surrounds

Seldovia has a few great trailheads right in town. For a panoramic lookout over Seldovia Bay, head up the Rocky Ridge Trail. For a flatter forest hike that ends in awesome views of the Cook Inlet, take the Otterbahn Trail to Outside Beach. There is also Jakolof Bay Road, a scenic 10-mile stretch of waterfront road heading out of Seldovia that is popular with mountain bikers. Book a private campsite just outside of town for a secluded tent or RV experience. Kayak rentals and fishing charters can also be found in Seldovia, from where boaters may spot orcas, beluga whales, sea otters, puffins, and other marine animals. Summer is sockeye salmon fishing season in the Cook Inlet too.

Kachemak Bay State Park and State Wilderness Park

The combined Kachemak Bay State Park and State Wilderness Park is a colossal nature reserve just east of Seldovia that contains 400,000 acres of forest and mountains and 78 miles of shoreline. Like Seldovia, there are no roads into the park, so it must be accessed by water taxi from Homer. But with backcountry campsites and a spectacular variety of trails, this remote park makes for an epic day trip or overnight excursion.

Homer Area

For more camping options on the Cook Inlet with views of the Aleutian Range, head north of Homer to the Stariski State Recreation Site or Deep Creek State Recreation Area. The latter is renowned for its razor clamming and salmon fishing. And if you are driving from Homer back to Anchorage, note that you can stop in Seward to visit Kenai Fjords National Park. Go hiking at the park’s Exit Glacier Area, or take a boat ride into the fjords from Seward Boat Harbor.

When to go

Seldovia experiences extreme seasonal differences. July temperature highs are in the low 60s with over 17 hours of daylight. In December, the highs are in the low 30s and the sun is in the sky for just six hours a day. The sweet spot for visiting this region is from June to September, when the ferries are operating on a summer schedule.
