What Guests Are Saying
The Russian River Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment, with spacious sites and helpful staff, making it a favorite destination for many visitors. Guests appreciate the scenic hiking opportunities, including a popular trail to the falls, and the campground's proximity to fishing spots. However, challenges with the reservation system, road conditions, and maintenance issues, such as the dump station being frequently closed, have led to some frustration among campers.

I've been fishing the Russian River and Kenai every year since 2008. Was stationed at Elmendorf from 1982-1985 and went there regularly. Things have changed. I observed people snagging fish and keeping them. People continuing to fish when they had their limits. Not that big a deal, but barbed hooks can't be good for the fish when they are caught and kicked back into the river. I saw NO rangers out there. I did see way more trash, fishing line, empty bottles and cans, and a general lack of concern for that beautiful river.The campsite was great as always, but many many trees had been taken down so it was a little different. I am planning to come back in 2022 and I hope to see more enforcement of the rules and regs, and education on what a blessing that place is.

We stayed here in a 25’ RV and loved it. There’s good separation of sites, but some nearby weren’t filled in late August so that added to the seclusion. We really enjoyed the hike to the Russian River Falls and the lake. That was a highlight of our 2-week trip. Potable water and a dumpsite are convenient.

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.
