Great place to camp! Quiet, clean, neat and well organized. I wish all national forest campgrounds were like this one!

After 4 years of on-and-off van life around the US from CA to FL to Mexico to Canada and now Alaska, Quartz Creek is one of our favorite campgrounds which a local recommended. Sites are spacious and spread out for privacy.
Views of woods, mountains and Kenai Lake, depending on campsite.
Walking distance to Sunrise Inn & Motel for yummy meals, Cooper Landing Brewery and a bar with pool and darts for late night.
The only annoying part was pet owners that just let their dogs bark away which echoed across lake, spoiling the serene vibe for others.
Camphost Manager Jerry was extremely welcoming, friendly and personable which was a great first impression as we checked in.
It was hard to leave. Might have to return one day if our travels bring us by again.
FYI...since this a National Campground, Access Pass holders get 50% off for each night!

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. They have just gone in and cleaned out dead trees and brush so it feels a bit less than lush, but things will come back. We love the access to the creek and the lake. The bathrooms were clean. We did not encounter any late-night revelers which has happened to us from Millers Landing, to Matanuska River Park, to Denali's Tetlanika (Yes! Winderness campground when a group of 5 families descended and whooped all night).

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.
