Mariner Park Campground

The feel

Mariner Park covers 111 acres at the base of the Homer Spit. The campsites are unmarked spaces in an open gravel parking lot, with no vegetation or lines to separate one from the next.

A day use area runs along the northern border, with a fire ring and a gazebo. Groceries, RV and fuel services and the central business district are about two miles away.

Mingo says

Skip the heavy rain days, when the gravel lot drains poorly. Come between April 1 and October 31.
