Diamond M Ranch Resort

The feel

This is a sprawling family ranch resort on a bluff above the Kenai flats, between Soldotna and Kenai, both within 5 miles. It has 71 sites with picnic tables, pull-throughs and room for big rigs, and a farm tour and farm animals are part of the property.

Most sites have 30 or 50 amp electric, water and sewer. A separate unserviced pasture is used for dry camping during dipnetting, and a fish cleaning station sits near it. There is also a playground, and a 3/4-mile trail leads to the river.
