#3 The Sweet Spot
The Sweet Spot was amazing! Serena was very communicative and the site was lovely. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and quiet spot for the night.

Serena was a super host! The campsite was as advertised, but when we got there we noticed that the Meadows site better fit our needs than the Sweet Spot and was unoccupied at the time. Serena was quick to our request to change sites and generous in accommodating our request. She also helped us with an unexpected supply shortage and saved us a long trip to the closest store. The site itself is lovely, very quiet and right next to shore so it gave us a beautiful sunrise view of Mt. Redoubt. With Serena's assistance we had a great and memorable stay!

Amazing spot! Wow! I loved all of the hand-crafted quotes and good vibe notes. I’m an artist, and I felt right at home! The amenities were rich and the view was spectacular. Such a wonderful and much needed space for reconnecting!! Thank you!

I loved camping at the sweet spot site 3! Incredible view! Just stunning! It was very private too. I would definitely recommend to stay here if you are looking for a great tent camping spot.

Serena's campsites had a great view and was a wonderful location for our office retreat! The site was away from the city and right on the bluff. We would recommend this site to anyone!

This is a beautiful place to camp and Serena is a great host. We stayed in site 2. You can park right in front of the site and it has plenty of space and a nice trail to the bluff. The property is great, full of beautiful views of the ocean and volcanos and great art. We would stay here again.

Serena has an incredible spot for sunset views and birding. We saw 2 youth eagles soaring from the lookout spot with mt redoubt in the background. Absolutely stunning! Her dog, Pretzel, is also precious. Highly recommend!

Serena’s space was magical! The sweet spot is truly named that for a reason. We had a lovely stay, met Serena and her pup and enjoyed the magnificent views while cooking dinner over the fire. I will absolutely be coming back!

We loved staying here! The Sweet Spot had amazing views and was a short little hike from the parking spot. We got a little lost when we got there and Anthony took the time to show us around the site.

Incredible host they were friendly and gave great tour of the place when you arrive. Beautiful view whichever spot you choose to camp. Stayed up to watch sunset and wasn’t disappointed. Sleeping felt nice and safe too. Plus the wind picking up hearing the trees was incredible.

Magical Camping Ocean&Volcano View
Everything about our stay was magical. The only complaint I might attempt to voice would be directed at myself for arriving so late and therefore having less time to spend at this amazing property. However even that would be an insincere, hollow complaint. Things happen for reasons of course!
Arriving in the dark with the girls snoring blissfully unaware in the back seat, necessitated a solo-trek in the near dark in search of The Sweet Spot.
Its hard to explain how a midnight exercise of deliberate tip-toeing through the trees on friendly, unpretentious, trails under the moonlight was so satisfying. How being continuously & hopelessly "lost" when in-between glimpses of hand painted signs that seemed to indicate the way to every camp but mine, didnt frustrate or vex. In fact, the symphony of crashing waves acting as a playful, mocking compass, just happened to be exactly what I needed to get outside of my own head.
Somehow I circled around, couldnt find the way I'd come and then ended up exactly where I was supposed to be. From there a 2nd trail took me straight back to my truck to fetch the girls. How could I have missed it before?
The campsite in the daylight was even more beautiful then I expected. Nothing disappointed and I left feeling more then refreshed.

Such a lovely place! I loved everything about it. Unfortunately we arrived late, had to head out pretty early and it rained but it’s a beautiful beautiful place. Definitely want to come back some other time. Loved all the cute little affirmations around the campsites. Lovely place.

Serena’s space is absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in site 3 - overlooking the volcano and the bay. We stayed up until the summer sun set in front of the fire pit with the occasional eagle flying overhead. It was very peaceful! Serena was incredibly helpful and responds quickly to messages. The outhouse was super clean and well-kept/stocked. We would absolutely recommend this as a peaceful stopover between busier towns on the peninsula (it’s also only 40 mins from Homer!) Try the Thai restrictions in town!

We stayed at site 3. Beautiful view of the mountains across the water, soft ground, a nice bench and table provided by the host! We loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

We absolutely loved this campsite. There were lots of nice touches and hands down the cleanest outhouse I’ve ever been in. The view was incredible & if you’re lucky enough for the clouds to clear and you can see the volcano, you’ll be blown away. The gazebo, seating and tables were really helpful when cooking and just staying out of the rain. Serena made a recommendation for our family to Kayak and that was the highlight of our entire week long trip in Alaska. I can’t say enough good things about our experience.

This is a BEAUTIFUL place to camp. It is obvious how much the host cares about her guests and loves this property.
Truly a place to get away from it all and get back to nature. Both my 6 year old and I were amazed at the views.
A great place for a beautiful get away and for those who travel lightly.
