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.

What a beautiful setting! We spent 3 nights at Quartz Creek and wish we had time to stay longer. It is located near some excellent fly-fishing spots and is remarkably quiet. The sites are nicely sized, and we had no issues getting our 38’ DP and Jeep in the site. The dump station is clean, easily accessible, and features potable water.

Nice lakeside site. I used it as a base camp for day trips to Seward (and one to Homer). Being able to lock up and leave my camp trailer for the day made the day trips s lot easier. (If you’re towing something forget visiting Homer Spit… you can’t park your trailer.)
Also there’s a nice little brewpub about 1/2 mile away if you’re wanting a quick beer and/or some bar food.

Our family has been going to Quartz Creek most of my life. Love the campground, the creek and the lake. It’s one of my favorite to be in nature.

Quartz Creek is my favorite campground! The views are 360 degrees stunning. It was a blue banner day and the lake allowed canoeing. Site 44 is close to the boat ramp and restroom there, so it was very handy with getting the canoe to the water. We backed in with our 18 foot trailer.

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.
