Kasilof RV Park has modern, clean facilities in a park-like setting, making it a favorite Kenai Peninsula RV park. Enjoy the nature of Alaska and get away from parking-lot style parks and combat fishing campgrounds. Centrally located on the Kenai Peninsula, we are close to the major salmon fishing rivers of the Kasilof and the Kenai, king fishing on Deep Creek and Ninilchik river, charter boats for halibut on the Cook Inlet, and clamming on Alaska's famous razor-clam beaches. Enjoy catching trout or rafting across the road in Johnson Lake. The park will be open this summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Rafting on Johnson Lake Kasilof RV Park is located approximately 15 miles south of Soldotna, AK. Use 21377 Crooked Creek Road, Kasilof, Alaska on your GPS. We have updated our Salmon Fishing Prime Times and Clamming Tide Tables for 2013, as well as our Halibut Fishing Suggestions, so you can determine the best dates to come to our area for fishing and clamming.

The new covered deck

Last summers big projects included roofing over the deck in front of the camp kitchen and extending the deck there to the south to include a cast iron chiminea. Available for parties and pot-luck dinners upon request, guests are welcome to come and relax, enjoy the natural setting, and watch the abundant wildlife. Now you can choose cover if it is raining or enjoy the open deck in the sun!

The park is also noted for bird watching—with eagles flying over and more then twenty other species having been spotted—and its abundant wildflowers.

Last summer was beautiful with temperatures in the high 60’s to low 80’s and a lot of sunshine (up to 20 hours a day during late June and early July). The Sockeye (Red) salmon run into the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers was one of the best ever recorded. On the 18th of July (almost a week late), over 500,000 salmon entered the Kenai River in just three days. There were so many fish in the river it was hard not to hook one!  The run continued for almost two weeks with just over 1.5 million salmon heading up the river to spawn. Lots to look forward to in the next few years.
We had a good time with lots of wonderful campers visiting. Many visitors commented how quiet it was and how nice not to have the rowdiness of the fishing camps. We received many compliments of the cleanliness of our bathrooms and showers. 

Our office includes a small shop of Alaskan gifts and fishing supplies such as hooks and flies for salmon fishing and small hooks and line for trout fishing in Johnson Lake. We also have some fishing equipment (rods, reels, nets) for rent and will be happy to show you places to go for fishing. We have access to local guides for King salmon fishing and Halibut fishing and will be happy to provide the information to you or make reservations for you.

With the large number of salmon brought into the park to be cleaned each summer, we decided that it was time to rebuild the cleaning table. It now has a cover to keep off the sun and the rain, three cleaning sites and water hoses at each site. We are still not allowed to dump fish scraps in the local river or in the waste containers so please plan on taking your scraps back to the rivers where you caught the fish.

Our firepit is greatly enjoyed by our visitors. We spend many evenings with guests around the fire enjoying the company and meeting new friends. We are not allowed by the Forest Service to have campfires at the campsites due to the natural areas between the sites. However, the campground firepit has been a great alternative!

We hope you will join us for a few days, a week, month or even the whole summer!
