Cooper Creek Campground

Best campground in my opinion. Will definitely recommend it and definitely returning.

There's a couple reasons to rate this five star. First. It's right on the kenai River and it is absolutely beautiful! Second, it's location is very convenient as it is right on the highway. Quick and easy to pull into and there's local convenience stores in Cooper landing along with gas. They have fire pits with picnic tables and they have bear proof food containers for each site to store anything the bears might want to get into, which is... Absolutely, everything. Seriously never underestimate what the bears can get into. There's a public outhouse and a public can pump well for use at the campsite. Been stopping off here on my way back and forth for over 50 years and each time I enjoy it.

We camped at Cooper Creek Campground South. We had a nice, long pull through, double site which was quite private, a large area with a picnic table, firepit and bear box. The river was nearby. Wild raspberries and currants were growing adjacent to our site. The campground was quiet. $30.00 seemed like a lot when they had no amenities except pit toilets. Not even a water fill or dump station. But we did enjoy the park. We had enough light to use just our solar even though the days were cloudy and/or rainy. Loved the spacing of the campsites. Our AT&T phone had 1 - 2 bars at our site. Didn't work very well for our hotspot.

Stayed here with my son a few yrs in row . Very nice convenient with creek along side it and the Kenai river across the road . These pics are from 2018 the yr of my cancer treatments

This is a super cool campground! If you can get a site by the river I highly recommend it! It's a soothing sound to sleep to and you can't beat waking up to those views. Be sure to have a small stash of small bills because paying camp fees/park access in AK often require cash (just FYI).
