What it is like
Ninilchik River Campground is a set of riverside state sites near Ninilchik, tucked below the bluff by the old Russian village and its hilltop church. The campground has 39 sites, open May to September, and it is first-come, first-served with no online reservations. It also has vault toilets, water, a boat launch and fire rings.
Ninilchik is about 6.8 miles from the campground, so plan groceries and fuel before you come. Deep Creek State Recreation Area, 2.5 miles away, is a busy saltwater beach camp with 100 sites, where anglers launch boats into Cook Inlet for halibut and kings. For a booked site, Alaskan Angler RV Resort is a full-service park near the boat launch.
