Kasilof River Special Use Area | Wild Camping

May 10th, 2024 by informalevidence08

This is an awesome spot to camp on the beach- unless you’re here during Alaskas dipnet season! Usually end of June until the first week of August for Kasilof. During that time everyone will be focused on dragging as many fish out of the water as possible and it’s a 24 hour fishery. Probably better luck at whiskey gulch or some of the pullouts on Kalifornsky road.

Beautiful spot. Only 4 other campers here. Very quite. - perhaps June 11 is still early in the season.

Most crowded camping area I’ve ever seen and it was a Monday! Camping on the beach and in parking lot (good luck finding a spot). I would not attempt the beach with out 4x4. My van and another got stuck. Truck tipped over on the way out. Be careful!

July 15th, salmon fishing is open. It’s over crowed. Plus fees.

Very busy end June with fishermen all around with their nets and locals camping which looked semi-long term. Not too noisy except occasional ATV dragging nets, distant generator etc. view nothing special tide was gone leaving lots of muddy ground. Okay for a night if one has to stop. Some portaporties were available but not clean.

As described before, huge place with places to camp both in the parking lot and the dunes. Beautiful views in front. Felt kind of lonely, it was just us and an RV. Good AT&T reception. Free.

Beautiful sunset over the active volcanos. Glad we aren’t here during the crowds

No change a year after. Easy to access by big rig. Nice walk along the beach.

The place over the beach looks new asphalted, with a new, but empty, information board. Beach access possible, but no information if camping is still allowed.
