Homer, AK – A quiet and peaceful RV park located high on a cliff overlooking the Cook Inlet. Contrast this park to its polar opposite, Heritage RV Park on the Homer Spit, which is noisy, crowded and hopping at all times. Sure, you have to drive the 10 minutes to town, but the scenery on this drive is spectacular and the lack of craziness of the Spit offers a much needed respite after a long day of fishing/hiking/kayaking/touring.

All sites are back-in here, most of which have a stunning view of the Inlet. The natural inclination is to pull in so you’ll have that view out your front window, but a stern warning during check-in to not do this kept us from enjoying the view from the comfort of our sofa. I estimate 25% of the RVs ignored the warning and pulled straight in, so there you go. Our neighbor was also the camp host and had a few choice words for these non-conformists, but I shall refrain from writing them here. I asked him what’s the problem with pulling in forward, and he gave me the same look Norman Fell’s character in The Graduate gave Benjamin Braddock after Elaine screams, and for a brief second I thought he was going to call me an agitator.

We had a number of electrical faults while staying here that prevent me from recommending this campground. In 4.5 years of RVing and hundreds of campgrounds I’ve never had my electrical management system shut down power, but it happened here 2-3 times per day. All faults were the same, over voltage. I noted large fluctuations in the voltage at this park, from 115-128 volts, and the cutoff for the EMS is 132 volts, and we apparently exceeded that a few times per day. Not cool. I spoke with the campground host who huffed and puffed about “new fangled RVs with all their fancy electronics that can’t handle a little extra juice”, who then proceeded to point out every newer RV in the park who reported the exact same problem I had. He blamed the Homer Electric Company, which indeed may be the case, but I suspect a campground-wide autoformer would solve the problem. In any case, this is exactly why you put an EMS before power enters the motorhome.
Rating: 
(because of the power issues, otherwise it would be a 5)
