What Guests Are Saying
Quartz Creek Campground is highly praised for its beautiful location, cleanliness, and well-maintained facilities. Many reviewers appreciate the spacious sites, friendly camp hosts, and access to Kenai Lake and nearby activities. However, there are concerns about the reservation system being too restrictive, making it difficult for locals to secure last-minute spots, as many reserved sites often remain empty.

Ok, first things first, the campground is awesome. Well taken care of and has flushing toilets. The host is awesome and keeps things clean on a scheduled basis.
Having said that, the camper that was next to us, ran his generator all night long. He started it up at !2:47 am and ran it through till 10-11 am. Not appreciated and certainly contrary to the posted quiet hours of 10pm - 6pm. In addition, families love this campground and kids are out on the roads from 7am to 12am, dogs are barking consistently through the day with no owner taking charge. It is a loud noisy campground compared to other campgrounds, so please do not go expecting it to be quiet. The boats and planes taking off on Kenai Lake add to it too. This was our 2nd trip to the campground this year. Love the physical environment but too much noise for us.

Reservations system is a joke!! And now Quartz Creek is EXCLUSIVE for RESERVATIONS ONLY….As long as they don’t screw it up…Booked site #38 for July 1- July 4. Only to find I could only book the 1st night and the consecutive nights dead FF (first come)…and I could Not make any other reservations to the site…back in January…Every day I tried and then one day I find it is booked. I had ONE NIGHT…Classic run around by AMR and Hosts who don’t even care…They blame anything they can on the site and don’t try to make any remedy…and they just basically blow you off…This year no one has any type of manners either…

I think I would rate it as the best campground near the lake in Alaska. Clean, bathrooms are nice. Views are amazing.

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.
