Homer Spit Campground

Homer sits at the end of the Kenai Peninsula, one of Alaska’s most popular tourist destinations due to the beautiful scenery and fascinating towns dotting its coastline. Nicknamed the “End of the Road,” Homer is about 200 miles south of Anchorage and is the very last stop on the Sterling Highway, which terminates at a massive sand bar known as the Homer Spit. Stretching for almost five miles into the Kachemak Bay, the Spit is the beating heart of Homer. This is where the fishing boats dock and unload each day, and it’s also where many of the town’s bars are, giving those same anglers a place to boast about the day’s catch.Homer Spit Campground sits at the tip of the spit, surrounded by water on three sides and having spectacular views of Kachemak Bay. Sites are equipped with full hookups, just electrical, or no hookups at all, depending on your motorhome camping preferences. Space is limited out on the spit though, so sites can only accommodate RV rentals up to 40 feet in length.Sites come with a good set of amenities too, including showers, laundry facilities, a dump station, and Wi-Fi. Most don’t choose a Homer camper rental for the creature comforts though; this is Alaska, the rugged beauty and the joy of spending time outside is what draws the visitors. If fishing is part of your campervan rental itinerary, just take a few steps from your campsite, and you’ll have your line in the water. The RV campground staff can help you set up with a charter boat to get out on the water for a more exciting sportfishing experience.When you book an RV in Kenai Peninsula Borough, you can experience the local culture too. Every summer, the town hosts a “Halibut Derby” (Homer is known as the Halibut capital of the world), where residents compete to bring in the heaviest halibut, but really, everyone wins with plenty of fresh seafood to consume. There’s also the Yacht Club’s annual regatta in June when swarms of sails take to racing around Kachemak Bay.
