“Liked it so much we stayed for an extra three days.”
Reviewed Aug 22, 2018
Good road, something of oddity in Alaska. The last five miles of the thirty mile drive past Kenai gets a little rough so slow down. No host on site the first day, but the family showed up the next. Great host with a very nice family. Had a unbelievable view of the Cook Inlet with Mt Spur on the other side. We had a back in site, the mo... more

“Nice view”

Dry camping. Better for rigs under 35. Not all sites level. Out of the way. Pretty view of inlet. Picnic table and fire ring.

“Out of the way, but prettier then a fisherman's back side”
Reviewed Jul 27, 2015
To avoid the crowds of dip-netters (hence my reference to fisherman's back sides) in the Kenai area during the month of July we chose to drive the extra 30 miles up to Captain Cook State Rec Area, which includes Discovery Campground. Some sites are small, but others are good for even 40' busses. Only a few back you up to the view ... more

“Older park with small, rough sites”
Reviewed Jan 11, 2015
This park was surprisingly busy. It is showing its age with rough, sloped, small sites, the vast majority with no views. For us, it's not worth driving this far out of the way to visit here again. Zero bars of Verizon increased to 5 bars of 1x with the antenna and amplifier.
