Having lived in Alaska 6 years I honestly have never stoped in moose pass, only obeyed the speed limit and slowed down while passing though. The campground is super easy to find (especially when obeying the speed limit). They have a sign out on the road. The camp host was beyond friendly. We let her know it was our first time and we were hoping for a spot a little more secluded so we could work out any kinks and hangout with our pups. She put us in a location that was easy for us to back into and we isn't have any camp neighbors within a visual radius. A few of the spots do but up against the highway so you'll have some street noise, but that mellowed down around 10pm. There was a group fire pit where folks brought some drinks and hung out. Super friendly place! The next morning we went for a walk down to the float plane docs and along the railroad tracks. Such a cute little town and a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Seward.

Stayed at the Kenai Riverside Campground / Bed & Breakfast in July 2014…read more The facilities were good, the rooms clean and the staff very friendly. All in all we were very happy with the accommodations. Every room had 2 beds - 1 queen and 1 twin with a shared bathroom, living space and dining area. The staff made breakfast each morning which consisted of muffins, bagels, toast, fruit, coffee, tea and juice. Certainly not elaborate but satisfactory for the $60 per night for 3. The campground has RV, Tent and Bed&Breakfast rooms. Its also located on the Kenai river and is about 5 minutes drive from the Russian/Kenai confluence. Considering your options in Cooper Landing. Kenai Riverside Campground is pretty nice and the staff go out of their way to help make your stay a good one.

Made reservations to stay at a tent site here last week. When we showed up it looked like there…read morewere a bunch of vehicles that had been parked there for a very long time... almost as if they were using some of their land as a vehicle storage lot. However, we were staying at the tent sites near the river, so we figured we'd be far enough away that it wouldn't matter. We checked in and the staff was very friendly. They told us which spot we'd be staying in, gave us a map, and made sure we knew where we were going. When we went to our assigned spot, there was nowhere to put a tent without sleeping tree roots or very rocky ground. It was also RIGHT next to a very dusty road. There were some other open tent spots, so we went back to the office to see if we could get a spot that was a little further from the dusty road and had a grassy area to pitch a tent. The staff offered their apologies but said that all the spots were reserved. We ended up going to the state run campground and lucked out finding a spot available there. Much nicer and even a few bucks cheaper than this place. The staff was nice and it is nice to be so close to the river, but I wouldn't recommend this place for tent campers. Might be alright for someone who is in an rv, but if you're looking for tent camping I would really recommend going someplace else.

Honestly, when we first pulled in I was bummed. I thought we'd hit a bad spot. Until we ventured in…read moreand realized the camp sites here back up to cooper creek, just a short jaunt from the sites. Super private, gorgeous, very Alaska. We loved it so much we went to our next stay and came back the following day to stay at the river side of the campground (warning - that side is first come, first serve so arrive before 11!). Bonus points - the host is amazing and no one cares if your dog is off leash.

There are several campgrounds located in Cooper Landing and the immediate vicinity. Apart from…read moreSkilak Lake Recreation Area, Cooper Creek Campground is my personal favorite because some of the spots overlook the water. It's sort of a strange set up because the campground is bisected in half by the main road that runs through Cooper Landing (hence the confusion regarding the North and South campgrounds.) They are ONE campground with one host. The sites on the South side overlook Cooper Creek and the sites on the North Side overlook the beautiful aquamarine shores of the Kenai River. Can you guess which side I prefer? Sites have picnic tables and fire pits. There's a total of 26 sites. Most of them can accommodate an RV, but this is an older campground with some erosion issues, so you need to be a good parker to stick the landing. Lol. I don't recall seeing any pull through sites. There's a dumpster, bear boxes, pit toilets, hand pump water and firewood for sale. You can not fish or launch a boat from any part of this campground. River access is very nearby in either direction. Bears are a real consideration, so one needs to plan accordingly. Reservations are absolutely necessary during fishing season.

The…read moreentire property--including cabins, RV park, convenience store, and gas station--just opened for the 2026 season, and everything is fresh, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Our cabin had two comfortable queen beds with a shared nightstand, a chest of drawers, mini fridge/freezer, microwave, and Keurig. The bathroom featured a spacious walk-in shower, and blackout shades ensured great sleep during Alaska's long summer days. A ceiling fan kept it cool in the afternoon, while a new heater provided warmth in the evening. Outlets on both sides of the beds made charging devices easy. Inside were two chairs with a small table, and the covered front porch had two large rocking chairs and a table--perfect for morning coffee or relaxing after a day of fishing or sightseeing. The property also includes a clean laundromat and additional showers in the main building for RV guests. The RV park offers spacious pull-through sites with electric and sewer hookups, plus ample parking for trucks, boat trailers, and other equipment--a big plus for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. There are a few wall hooks near the front door for jackets, rain gear, or towels. Overall, this is an excellent new addition to Cooper Landing. Whether staying in a cabin or bringing an RV, the 3 Bears property offers modern, comfortable accommodations with the convenience of fuel, groceries, and supplies in one place. We would definitely stay here again.

Angels Rest is located on Lowell Point just 2 miles down the dirt road form Seward and is an amazing place to get away for the weekend. My wife and I got engaged there early last year and just recently went back. We stayed in the Wing Cabin both times and just loved it. It had a great little kitchen and 2 rocking chairs in from of the two large windows overlooking the bay and the mountains. The binoculars are a great treat for watching the sea life play just off shore. Don't forget to bring a book!! It is real close to town and it's really not that far from Safeway. They offer a 5% discount for paying in cash. The bed was extremely comfortable too!! The cabins were very clean and the kitchen has enough plates, silverware, and cooking utensils for making what ever floats your boat. The kitchen also has a small fridge and they also provide a cooler to use. On the deck there is a gas BBQ grill and each cabin has it's own fire pit outside for use when warm enough. I believe they also sell ice and firewood if you forget yours. They are very good about getting back to you quickly if they are not able to answer the phone. You can also contact them by text or email. Check out their website: www.angelsrest.com I highly recommend taking a weekend trip down there if you really want to get away from it all!!!

There are lots of great restaurant options in Seward, but it's so nice to be able to make your own breakfasts in your jammies. The kitchenette also came in handy for dinner one night, after we picked up fresh salmon near the pier at Capt Jack's. The cabin is surrounded by plants and trees that make it feel cozy and private, even though there are other cabins around it - so much nicer than staying in a hotel with hordes of other tourists surrounded by parking lots. There's a porch with fantastic water views, a small grill and two chairs. We picked up firewood and marshmallows for the firepit out front, which has a small bench. The stony beach is populated with ducks, gulls and cormorants tottering around the tidepools. On our last night we saw three eagles fishing, a sea otter lounging in the surf, and a harbor seal swim by. There were beautiful, tiny hummingbirds that visited the feeders on the porch every day. A number of kayak rental places dotted the road toward Lowell Point State Rec park - which is a short walk down the beach, and has some great hikes. Paul and Lynda have provided a wealth of information in a binder on tons of hikes and scenic drives all over the area, and well as recommendations for dining, tours, etc. The cabin is artistic-rustic-style, with pine ceilings and handmade headboard, but far more comfortable than we expected. The lovely accommodations and setting, coupled with the hosts' attention to detail and quick response to questions, make this the perfect place for your visit to the Kenai peninsula.

Exposed light fixtures, unfinished trim...it feels like a remodel was started but things stalled out. The attendant was scarcely present, despite our requests for an audience. We were greeted by a note on the door even though we arrived during prime receiving hours. I said 'hello' when I saw her in the hallway while bringing in our luggage and she just put her head down and went on to load the washing machine without even so much as a smile. Our request to change payment methods went unheeded as she never answered our texts while we were standing outside her door. I understand that you may not be a people person, but it literally felt like she was going out of her way to avoid people. We spent 9 days in Alaska and visited a lot of lodges, motels, Bed and Breakfasts and by far...this was the worst and most expensive...even in Anchorage where one of the airport motels was a bit sketch, we found friendlier staff and a complimentary breakfast. I get it that resources can be hard to come by but a bowl of fresh fruit, a box of cereal, and some pastries from Costco would at least help guests digest the premium price tag on what amounts to a boarding house. We made use of the common space and made our own breakfast in the kitchen but that required planning and hoping we wouldn't be backed up waiting to use the stove or other utensils, plates, etc. With so many tours and activities with early start times in the area, it would have been nice to just grab and go...I feel like for what this place costs they owe you that much. Nonetheless, 3 stars for offering a bare bones room with beds...no frills, no personality, and a hermit attendant...seems more than fair. Hopefully this place wakes up to the potential they have to offer...but honestly, from my experience...it's just a little too lazy to even try. Sleep here if you have no other options...but that's about all it's good for...

The lodge is pretty much a bed&breakfast minus the breakfast part. They have a communal kitchen that guests can use as well as refrigerator both on the 1st and 2nd floor. They also have a firepit outside for guests to use. The room was neat and spacious. The only thing I wish they can improve on is to add provision to hang clothes. They don't have a front desk but the family lives onsite and they leave their number at the door in case we need to reach them. I did call ahead to let them know of my late check-in (8pm) which wasn't an issue with them. I did notice few people checkin in as late as 10.30pm.

Anyone heading to Seward should definitely stay here; you won't regret it.

Dave and Wendy are wonderful hosts, and the lodge is very comfortable and convenient, and immaculately maintained. We were 10 of us, and stayed 3 nights - used the grill, but not the hot tub - and made our own breakfasts and dinners at the lodge. Wendy was very accommodating, when two of our crew, me included, could not make the kayak trip, and found other people to use the slot, and helped us to make alternate arrangements. Bear Paw is a great place to stay in Seward, & especially if you plan to go kayaking.
