Campsite 4
Beautiful location and close to town. We rented campsite #4. It was a tight fit for our trailer (20Ft) but we managed. I would not recommend any larger travel trailer for this site. The site had access to numerous locations to walk, fish, canoe, and view an eagles nest. We had our small dogs with us and remained cautious of the nature that surrounded us. No doggie snacks for the eagles. The site has an awesome view of the lake. Plenty of sunlight to charge our solar batteries on our trailer. Once again, please do not think you can fit your 24ftr in there safely, it just shouldn't happen. The gound is a bit soft but only because its a fairly new site. Bugs were not that bad but we had our thermacells to keep insects at bay. We did not have to use any spray repellental at all. It is a bit on the spendy side, but seclusion, beauty, and tranquility are guaranteed. We are looking for to seeing The Everson Homestead again.

Great camping spot right on the lake! Perfect location for fishing on the Kenai. Site is catered toward RV camping but we found a couple clear spots to set up our tents and it worked out well.

Perfect for my large group of 15 people 😃 Great site with so much space and things to explore! With access to 2 lakes and plenty of woods around it feels like a real outdoor Alaskan experience! Hosts were kind and communicated extremely well.

What a beautiful campsite!! It was awesome having the large lot all to ourselves. My two dogs had a blast running wild in the woods! The site was very easy to find and the camp hosts, Jennifer and Paul were very friendly. Jennifer was even nice and brought me a book to read since I had forgotten mine. Paul kept me stocked with wood and I never ran out of drinking water either. Having a private outhouse was really nice too!

Overall the nature and scenery was nice, but unfortunately the gentleman who greeted us was odd, it was not the host himself who was helpful on the app. I think the gentleman was part of the family, but not sure. I will give it a 4/5 rating, he had a fire started for us and the outhouse was nice. It was cold and windy also, but it would be much nicer later in the summer!

Taylor’s property was great! We particularly loved the view and the sounds of nature, as well as the experience of living on private property vs a public campground. It gave us a more “authentic” experience. Taylor’s communication was top notch. This was our first time in Alaska, and he kindly and promptly answered every question we had in a timely manner, from what to do in the area to question about directions that I missed very obviously listed on the guest sentence. He was a great sport about our mishap. I would highly recommended his place to all, and as a bonus there was a clean outhouse, huge new picnic table, lots of firewood and water.

We could not recommend this site more. Beautifully situated overlooking Marie Lake. The dog had easy access to the lake from the site. You do have to go down a small, easily traversed hill. Site was quiet and very private. There was water provided and the nicest outhouse we’ve used in a long time. The hosts were so nice, checked in with us periodically to see if we needed anything, and provided extras like toilet paper and wood. We absolutely loved this special spot, and will certainly be back.
