Homer, AK · 17 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

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!

2 nights at Seaside Farm

Seaside Farm was the most magical place I’ve ever been. The views and sounds of the ocean brought me so much peace, and the cabin was so cozy! I will forever remember our candle lit nights and mornings on the porch listening to the birds. My only regret is we couldn’t stay longer. I hope to be back soon!

1 night at Glacier Vista RV Pad

What an amazing hideaway this little campsite is! It was a little bit of a tight squeeze for our one slide out, but we made it work. We felt enveloped by the alders and berries, very private. Having water/electric hookups was so convenient we hardly wanted to leave each day. The view took our breath away, especially while having a fire in the fire ring. Pete and Lenore even provide wood for fire building and a bucket for dousing the fire. This was our first time using Hipcamp and we highly recommend Glacier View RV spot!

Weekend Trip to Mt. Redoubt. / Aksupperclub

Such a beautiful, peaceful place. The host was incredibly generous with his time and great company, but also very respectful of your space. You can keep to yourself or engage as much as you like. We ended up sharing a wonderful dinner together, which was a highlight of the stay. This is the kind of place you come to slow down, think, and enjoy the beauty around you. I’d definitely come back.

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!

3 nights at Seaside Farm

Awesome camping space with covered shelter! I would definitely stay again. The electricity and wash station were a nice addition to this camping space. Loved going down to the beach too. Roosters will crow early but earplugs worked great for this.

4 nights at Seaside Farm

Cute little Alaskan cabin with Sandhill Cranes in the meadow. Peaceful, quiet, lovely porch, nice walks at the Farm. Closer than I thought it would be to amenities and bigger than I thought it would be. My friend and I had plenty of space sharing it over a rainy weekend. I hope I can visit again with my daughter. Host is friendly and helpful and has recommendations for local businesses.

Weekend Trip to Birchwood Campground #2

I love the big space for parking, setting up a volleyball net, and the tents for a big family of 14. It was quiet and surrounded with nature. We were provided wood, trash bags, lighters, bug candle, and a cute interactive notebook. My whole family loved it. There was also a lake 8 minutes away and it’s a perfect spot for a nature getaway!

camping spaces are set up on a wide grassy area on the edge of the farm.

6 nights at Lazy J Ranch

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.

2 nights at Mossy Forest Camp

Rachel is very responsive! This spot is quiet and primitive despite being right off the road. Be bear aware like is noted because we had the pleasure of seeing a black bear this trip. It just wandered into the drive. It was a good bear and walked away when I said, “Hey Bear!” Zero drama.

4 nights at Lazy J Ranch

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.

Weekend Trip to Seaside Farm

Cozy cabin overlooking the glacier, with a comfortable public space for cooking and showers. The provided carts were super helpful to move our luggage, and Mossy is a true Alaskan character. Highly recommended if you’re coming to Homer.

Great property, very friendly management. Token operated showers and laundry, firewood for sale and coffee in the office as well as some camping essentials. I would definitely come back

Weekend Trip to Evenson Heritage Lodge in Kenai

We had the best time camping at the Evenson site #1. The host was very helpful and even offered to let us borrow a canoe so that our whole family could go out on the lake at once. The campsite was beautiful, private and huge! Perfect for the kids to ride their bikes and play.

4 nights at Albatross Campground RESERVATIONS

Awesome little campground! Hidden gem. Quiet, basic, nothing fancy. Does have a fish cleaning station, laundry, showers. Terry (manager) is a great guy. Invited us all over for some smoked salmon that we were all trying so hard to catch:) highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Magical Camping Ocean,Volcano Views

Site 3 was a perfect spot (far from the main road) for a peaceful slumber with great views both in the late night summer glow and in the early morning for an exquisite volcano view! Was nice having an outhouse, parking space, and easy directions! Great communication as well.

4 nights at Birchwood Campground #2

Clean spacious and fairly quiet. No neighbors, it is a little out of town but worth it if you have a small party that doesn’t want all of the racket from dip betters going until all hours of the night. Met the owner on previous trip, excellent human being. Communication is excellent and campsite is well maintained. We will be back again for sure.
