So many great sites! Several on the lake as well as a few on the creek. The whole Campground is paved and the sites are flat. Kenai Lake is absolutely beautiful and one of my all time favorites!

Beautiful campground. Gravel and level sites with great fire pit. Lots of trees, mountain views and well maintained. Access to Kenai Lake and Quartz Creek for fishing and the salmon can be viewed!! No hook ups but highly recommend.

Nice spots on the creek and lake. The spots aren’t right on top of each other either. Make reservations online.

Great campground. The host is active and available. The sites are level, gravel pads and are pretty large. There are several restroom facilities located conveniently, and they have flush toilets and a sink. Some of the sites have lake views. You need to reserve well in advance.
