There are campsites for tents and RVs, firepits, toilets, water, boat launch and a fishing platform. Camping sites are first-come, first-served and check out time is noon. Since everybody knows about this place, it's hardly a secret so there's definitely combat fishing during the high season. If you get there early you can enjoy some serious fishing and it's a great place to relax and enjoy Alaska.

The sites along the river have lower numbers, and are a sunnier and less private and have less trees (they'll be on your right when you drive in). Maps at the gate house, ask for one. Tent only sites and RV sites are also on the left, although tenters can tent wherever they want. The tent only sites are HEINOUSLY exposed- sardine like spots. But if you're the kind of person who is afraid of wildlife, likes people and wants zero privacy and no trees, head for the tent only sites. The picnic tables and fire rings in this campground are in very good shape here. You can cook on the grate without your food falling through. My one gripe is the waste dump is an extra 20 dollars!!! That's an outrageous charge. Drive 2 miles down the street to Fred Miles to access the free waste dump and water. There is free water near the guard house if you want to fill up on your way in or out, but it's not on the map.

I asked to drive through and look for my husband who was camping there for over a week. The kid at…read morethe booth seemed surprised that I even stopped and said sure go ahead kinda laughing at me. I found my husband and talked to him. A grumpy old man in a golf cart came and yelled at me, he said the kid told me I could turn around only. I tried to calm him down and said I would remember, but he was very angry, and aggressive. They want $8 to just drive through the campground to talk to someone.

That being said, it seemed odd that food can be served in a place where there was no running water and within 10 yards of a pig pen and Port-a-potties. Cow patties surrounded the pig pen. The barn had a large curtain around the room which hid real barn stuff like tools and oil cans.

There is a wonderful area for walking your dog in a wooded area to the rear of the park. Despite some traffic and small airplane noise, there's no loud music, partying, or generators running which we veery much appreciate. The internet is adequate for work but may be limited for streaming, although we did not try that. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, always a plus! The spacing is a bit tight but doable. The only negative is that the office, restrooms, and laundry are all up several stairs and therefore not handicap accessible. We would highly recommend this park for folks coming to fish or visit friends in the area.

Literally there's a queen bed and one person walking space on either side of the bed. No storage space nor closet. One sitting chair. Tiny bathroom and shower. Felt like an RV more so than a motel room....too cramped. $165/night....mehhhh. Location is great for dip netting. The check in guy was so lack luster. He didn't exhibit the type of hospitality I felt characteristic of places that charge that much for a closet space. Staff did respond quickly to requests and check out guy was warmer than the initial guy. They have some $250/night cabins shoved onto the parking lot and tightly packed RV lot. I guess I'd say...bravo on maximizing every square inch to make $$$! I would definitely look for a more spacious spot next time I'm in the area. I like to be able to stretch my arms and legs without hitting a wall.

There is a bathroom, small fridge and queen bed. The views are amazing. It may be less crowded because dip net season just ended a few days ago but we didn't feel overcrowded. I don't know why everyone is complaining, it lists what you get for the price online. The owners are the quiet type but were very accommodating. I wouldn't say it's a 5 star hotel but it was 5 stars in that it offered what it advertised, was clean and comfortable. It seems like most of the complaints are from the RV park users. If you're a mature adult and enjoy a quiet camp with a beautiful view I think you'd be happy here. It's not a 20's something party spot.

High Adventure Air was able to accommodate putting me on a fly out sockeye salmon charter within a day...it was such last minute on my part but I had to go and every other company was completely booked! I wouldn't even look for another company to go out with, this is your place to go. It's in Soldotna right on the water, they have planes flying in and out all day! My guide was Drew and he was awesome! Our pilot was Ben who did an awesome job navigating us to and from our fishing spot! There were four people in the group headed out on an awesome Beaver seaplane. The flight was about 30 minutes from the office which wasn't bad at all especially with the beautiful scenery along the way. When we arrived (with the smoothest landing ever) we hopped in a small boat and immediately Drew made sure we understood the rules and safety for the trip, along with our daily itinerary. He was able to answer all of our questions and share his knowledge about the land and fishing. His stories were really cool to hear! Once we anchored down at our fishing spot Drew was sure to brief us on how the reels worked, how to cast correctly, and how we could be successful at catching fish. Wouldn't you know within the first 5 minutes two of the guys on the boat caught fish. It took me a little longer than everyone else but Drew was patient and helped everyone else. We all hit our limit catching sockeye (red) salmon in less than an hour! Afterwards Drew drove us around and showed us different spots on the water and we even saw some bears! He took us to a cool waterfall spot to have our pictures taken with our fish too! Then he filleted our salmon and divided it up amongst us evenly and gave it to us in individual bags so it was easy to take home. He surprised us by bringing some cooking supplies and he cooked us some salmon right there! It was the freshest tasting salmon ever and it had a great homemade seasoning that he makes! Then he drove us around some more to show us another spot where we may see bears, but also where salmon jump up a creek bed to spawn. Unfortunately we didn't see any jumping up the creek but we did see them flopping out of the water in that area. The plane came back to pick us up right on time, and Ben (the pilot) took us on a surprise detour to see a glacier before flying back! This entire day was awesome and I would definitely recommend! The price is totally worth it and it's not even as expensive as other fly out companies. If I am ever back in Anchorage I will definitely come on this trip again! **tips** - Bring layers! The day started out with not a cloud in the sky and by the end of our charter it was pouring rain and about 45°. - Bring and wear bug spray/lotion! I promise you there are tons of mosquitos! - Pack some snacks/sandwiches or something to hold you over because it's a long day out there!
