Morgans Landing State Rec Area

Did not camp here: only day parking for fishing. Ramp and path along the river. Very nice and clean and well maintained. Very easy to get to

Nice facility with lots of parking ($5). A lot of river bank space with a lot of boardwalks to fish from. Most of the water moves too slow for favorable sockeye fishing but you can be successful. Be prepared for a good walk from the vehicle to the river. The state uses these grounds for staging equipment and has a lot going on so theres always state employees roaming the grounds, which can be good and bad.

Sites are level with adequate room for 35' 5th wheel. There are pull through and back in sites with plenty of green space to give you a private feel. There is a trail system that gets you to the river.

We enjoy this campground due to its private camping feel. In addition to back in sites there are pull through. Our 5th wheel is 35' and we had plenty of room. There is a walking trail down to the Kenai River.

This campground is just a few miles off the main road, but the diversion is well worth it. As with all Alaska state rec areas that I have visited, it was clean, well laid out, and beautifully situated. The ready access to the Kenai River was an unexpected bonus, and would make it ideal for those fishing their way through the state (although I would bet that it is probably a busy place when the salmon are really running). Note that there is no dump station or hookup for RVs.
