RV travel guide
Kenai Peninsula Borough
County seat Soldotna, 16,013 sq mi across Alaska. Everything an RV traveler should read before rolling in — where you can boondock, the roads worth the detour, and the local rule that actually matters.
The county in brief
A traveler's read on Kenai Peninsula Borough
The Seward Highway between Anchorage and Seward is one of only 32 All-American Roads designated by the Federal Highway Administration — a 127-mile corridor that crosses three mountain ranges, two glacier-carved fjord systems, and the Kenai NWR moose migration corridor, all on paved two-lane with rig-friendly grades. Kenai Peninsula Borough holds the densest concentration of Alaska RV rentals outside Anchorage proper, with Soldotna and Cooper Landing the canonical summer salmon-fishing anchors on the Kenai River.
Kenai Fjords National Park is accessible by paved road only at the Exit Glacier section near Seward; the rest of the park is boat-access only via Resurrection Bay charter. Homer at the Sterling Highway's southwest terminus is the road-system's southernmost terminus — the famous Homer Spit campgrounds accept rigs up to 45 ft on the city's RV concessioner contract.
