What Guests Are Saying
Russian River Campground is highly regarded for its spacious, clean campsites, friendly staff, and beautiful surroundings, making it a favorite spot for many visitors, including long-time campers. Improvements such as a new entrance road and well-maintained facilities enhance the overall experience. However, issues with reservation policies lead to frustration, as many booked sites remain unoccupied, preventing others from enjoying the campground.

It is a terrible system for reservations at the Russian River. I have tried getting on at 6 AM in Alaska and rarely get the June dates. The people I know who get dates have all their friend and even their employees all on at the same time and all trying to get them. Sometimes they get half a dozen. In literally a second the campsites are gone.
And the worst part is the people who book those don’t even have to show up until the third day. We have been there and seen campsites during peak season empty for 2 nights on Wed and Thur just so a person could show up on friday for one night. And the forest service will not give their spots away until late in the day after the second night they have missed. Which that is not the case at the other campsites. What a waste of an amazing resource. I have the opportunity to travel during the week people are blocking my opportunity just to have a Friday night booked.
I have spoken to people who thought it was funny that they start booking the campsite early just so they could be In line to book the following 3 nights at that site. They had no intention of using the first booking. Then only 1 of the 3 nights booked will get released for people like me to use.

Wonderful trail system along the river.. We went to look for birds not fish.
We had a reservation but there was no reserved sign at our campsite and no information at the kiosk????

Very nice camp ground. Basic facilities, so come prepared. Although there is water and a dump station. Some of the sites are difficult to get into with a larger camper. I'm sure they are all accessible, but you may need help backing in etc. But, we will definitely be returning this year.

It has the most beautiful scenery, perfect fishing spots, they got a handicap ramp from parking lot to the river and a beautiful trail along the Russian River that anybody can walk, bike or wheelchair to the famous Kenai River with blue glacier water.
We biked to the Russian falls where we whatched salmons jumping up the falls it was amazing.
We fished the Russian River where we share the river with a brown bear and then a black bear they dont do anything as long we respect their territory and always keeping a good distance..
Don`t forget your camera.
