From jct Kenai Spur Rd & Hwy 1 (Sterling Hwy Mile Post 94.2): Go 500 feet on Hwy 1, then 1/2 mi E on E Redoubt Ave, then 1/4 mi S on Swiftwater Park Rd.
I had a lot of fun camping here! We couldn't build any campfires do to the fire band and the latrines could have used some attention. The parking areas were a bit on the small side considering that you can only park one car or truck in front of your trailer if it is 30ft. On top of that I didn't catch one fish at this location but caught one somewhere else. I wish they had a place to take a shower and power hookups!
We didn't catch any fish, but that wasn't the campground's fault. Unfortunately we came on a day when the fish counts were just low. The site itself was nice and it was a tiny bit less crowded than Centennial Campground down the road. There's really nice river access including a boardwalk you can fish from if you can't/don't want to enter the water. Toilets were a little overused but that's kind of to be expected during this busy season. Campsites were decently spaced but you can hear the neighbors' music, dogs, and kids, so if you're looking for a super quiet nature retreat this may not be the place for you. Costs $26 per night.
Beautiful campgrounds, easy access to the Kenai River will definitely be back !!!
Nice not too crowded, privacy and number of options available to choose between to do onsite fishing. Nice fire pits in the individual sites to utilize
