This reservation system must change! I wanted a waterfront space and reservation system has them all blocked up with FF. These could have all been open for people wanting to reserve them once they opened up. Put an “A” for available on the website so others can reserve. When we arrived the waterfront FF space wasn’t taken and I asked the host if we could move to it and he said I’d have to pay again is all. We were already set up in our tight spot near the toilets and didn’t want to pay again. If this spot had been made available some lucky person could have reserved it and enjoyed an amazing sunny Sunday and Monday…but it was left EMPTY!!
NO more first come first serve. Who’s going to drive 250 miles only to “try” to get those FF spots they see on the calender after hauling the gear and kids down? They are not. This is an absolute waste of great camping and extremely frustrating for us Alaskans fighting for these spots that clearly the tour companies are holding onto for their RV clients. Thank you.

Quarts campground is clean, surrounded by beautiful mountains and next to the Kenai Lake. Highly recommended. You need to reserve well in advance as these sites sell-out fast.

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.
  • Do not move firewood to avoid spreading pests; buy it near your campsite.
