The owner Jonathan was very accommodating. The area was not like a campground and more like an RV parking camp. Great hook-ups for power, water and sewer. The shower and laundry facilities were having an issue but the camp host Terry made up for it. I thought it was a bit expensive for the lack of wilderness around it but you can smoke, can and process your fish all in the communal. The camp host can show you how if you are not experienced in process your goods already. We will definitely stay there again if we get a discount! The area was perfect for fishing the Kenai.

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.

The view is incredible. The host is friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. The sites are far enough from the highway to not hear the noise and I have to mention again the view is second to none. Not all sites have dump but some do. Would definitely stay again.

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!
