Summary
Porcupine Campground is praised for its beautiful, clean, and well-maintained sites, offering great privacy and stunning views of Turnagain Arm. Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, scenic drives, and access to nearby hiking trails. Some drawbacks include limited facilities like laundry and showers, as well as overgrown sites affecting views, but overall, the campground is highly recommended for a quiet getaway in nature.

Porcupine is one of my favorite campsites on the Kenai Peninsula - in the trees, no road traffic noise, close to trails, and except for a people running generators its quiet.

You desperately need to trim around the campground especially the excessive cowparsnip. Many people don't know what it can do to them. There is ZERO view of the Turnagain Arm and that's why we came. We had 2 nights reserved and left a day early. Camp host was fabulous. Good job hiring him! Will give this review in other places as well

We had an awesome week. We were celebrating our anniversary and always try to be in a campground for the occasion. We have Porcupine in our summer rotation and we were able to get our favorite spot. Couldn’t have been better.

The campground was great. Site #7 is a pull through and has a short trail down to a view of the water. There is no water access as there is a fence and drop off at the end of the site. The middle of the pull through was level and the site is close to one of the pit toilets.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
