We've been camping at Quartz Creek for 10 years and it's still one of our favorites! It looked a little different this year after the spruce bark beetle kill mitigation was completed - the sites are definitely not as private after all the dead trees they removed, but on the positive side, you can see the lake from a lot more sites now! Jerry the camp host (who has been there the last several years) also contributes to making this campground a welcoming place to stay. He does a great job keeping everything clean, managing the sites, and we look forward to seeing his friendly face every time we go :)

Nice campground with large sites situated between Quartz Creek and Kenai Lake. The campground host was very accommodating, helping us to stay an extra couple days when we changed plans. Thanks, Jerry! Cell service is good, toilets are clean, campground is quiet.

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.

Wildlife & food storage

  • Store all food securely to prevent bear encounters.

Local regulations

  • Season dates are subject to change based on weather conditions.

Vehicles & parking

  • A maximum of 2 vehicles are allowed per campground.

Fires & fuel

  • Fires must only be made in designated fire pits.
  • The use of fireworks and firearms is not allowed.
