Trail River Campground...it's a beautiful place




When it comes to campgrounds on the Kenai Peninsula you would be hard pressed to find one more beautiful than Trail River Campground near Moose Pass. It's nestled in the mountains along the shores of Kenai Lake amidst some of the most scenic views in Alaska. We went there for the Memorial Day Weekend and even though it pounded down rain on Saturday the remainder of the weekend was absolutely perfect as far as the weather goes. Sunny skies with warm temps.

The campground was packed on Friday afternoon, but we found several empty campsites. Some of our friends met us there and we spent the weekend cooking over campfires, taking in the views, playing football, and walking down to the lake. We also worked on my generator which didn't want to generate. It works just fine now.

On Monday the campground emptied as everyone had to return to work. We stayed an extra night and ate breakfast at the Crown Point Cafe. The food is good but make certain you have plenty of time if you go there for a meal.

We returned to our house this afternoon and we are already talking about when we can go back to Trail River Campground. After all...it's a beautiful place.
