My grandparents, Stany and Nelda Jones homestead here, my father was just a toddler when they moved here with his family from Texas. They homestead this area before there were roads, and could only travel to this location via the beach and climbing the bluff. My mothers family also Homestead on the Kenai, in Ninilchik, she was born and grew up there in the small river village. When her and my dad married they continued the Jones family tradition of ranching and farming. We decided to offer our family land and share its beauty with others. Your camping spaces are on a corner of the ranch property, near the shared gazebo fire pit. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Offering a retreat from the business of town with stunning views of Kachemak Bay. We are a small family ranch/peony farm. We will offer space for a limited amount of guests around our ranch to try and make sure each person has their own space. This listing is for parking/tent/RV spaces. We also offer dry cabins but they must be booked separately. If available when you arrive we can upgrade you to one if desired. Pet(s) live on property - Black Lab, cattle dogs, Retriever mix, Multiple Horses, and cows. All animals are friendly and non threatening. Amenity limitations - The cellular service is intermittent in our area. limited Wifi. The bathroom/ shower is a separate building, a short walk from the camping [xxxxxxxx] shower has been having issues with hot water so if you need to use it let us make sure the water heater is still lit. (its propane). Potential for noise - farm noises, ATV are used on the property, horses, cows, dog (we discourage barking but it happens) Kids playing, ect. We try to be respectful of our neighbors and guests, and aim to keep our activity quiet after 10pm to 7am, we ask that you do the same. Please, no parties unless you have made prior arrangements to rent the entire area. (which is a option) "Rowdy" disrespectful guest will be asked to leave. There is a wedding venue also on the far side of the property. Due to the nature of reception music often playing in the evenings I try to make sure guest are aware if a wedding is going to be happening during their stay.

Majestic views on the ranch! Had a great time at the dry cabin #1. Very cozy and clean. With a short walk there was a flushing toilet and a shower. I would recommend it to anyone. Other than running water the cabin has all the amenities you need for a getaway. Dishes, pots and pans. Working stove and oven. Small refrigerator. There’s a heater for the chilly nights that will keep you warm and cozy. The beds were very comfortable with comforters and quilts. Loved our stay!

The campsites are on a grassy field that is easy to maneuver on. The mountain views are unbelievable. Vikki responded quickly to my inquiries. I would definitely keep it on my list of places to stay.

Our campsite was clean and quiet, and we really appreciated having access to a bathroom and hot shower. Although the facilities are shared with workers and equestrians, they were kept very clean. Having a trash can at each campsite was also a nice convenience. Lazy J is located about half an hour from town, which made it a peaceful and convenient place to stay.
