Camping

Camping out allows you to get a more complete sensory experience of the place you're visiting, not just by sleeping close to nature, but by freeing up dollars to spend on local food and adventures.

Homer's city-maintained campgrounds are open from April 1-Oct. 30.

The camping fee is $8 per day for tents or $100 in advance for 14 days and $15 per day for RVs or $189 in advance for 14 days. Camping limit per site is 14 days. To register and pay, visit the Camp Fee Collection Cabin on the Homer Spit or use drop boxes at the campgrounds.
