Its a stone's throw from the river, which makes this popular with locals when the fish are running and the banks are swamped. The RV hook up sites are fancy and even have a dog park and fancy picnic tables. The dry tent sites have chemical toilets and a mix of wooded and open camp sites, depending on your anxiety about animals. This place is a little tricky to find, just look for the airport- its directly BEHIND IT. It runs parallel and has an entrance at either end.

The Good, the Bad and the UGLY…read more The Good: The cabins at Alaskan Wooden Bear Cabins are second to none and have excellent craftsmanship. After shopping around to about 12 other places in the Kenai Peninsula, this place is also competitively priced. Sterling is geographically convenient for those visiting Homer, Seward, Soldotna, or Kenai. It is far enough off the highway so you don't hear any traffic. The Bad: There really is no view from these cabins. If you want to sit outside on the porch, you will be staring at the cabin across from you or the car you drove in. It is surrounded by trees and you can't see any of the mountains or the Kenai River, like many of the lodges in the area. Only one cabin has an indoor stove so you will likely have to cook your meals on the outdoor grill in the rain like we did on many occasions. There was also something wrong with the well and it cycled on an off constantly. It was loud enough to keep us up every night. When I mentioned it to Jack, his response was that even if he had help fixing it, it was going to cost $1,200.00. No apology. If the pump doesn't keep you up at night, the dogs will continue to keep you awake during the day. One will howl sitting under the porch every time they aren't home, and the other will howl from inside the house all evening when you're trying to relax. I'm a dog lover at heart, but these two never shut up. I even recorded them with my phone and played it back for Jack and Rose. They responded with a laugh and it didn't occur to them that it bothered other people. The Ugly: Under no circumstances should you book any excursions/guide service through them. Do this on your own if you stay. They had 9 months of notice that we were coming and still didn't book our Halibut trip until the last day we could fish. The weather turned to crap and the boat turned around. We never got to go and we were at this lodge for two weeks. I realize they can't control the weather, but they certainly controlled the scheduling and did a horrible job at that. They also booked a Salmon trip for us on the Kenai River and told us to be at the boat at 4:00am. What they neglected to tell us is that we needed rubber boats or waders because the boat simply takes you to a spot where you get out and fish off the bank. There is nothing worse than standing in glacier water with nothing but hiking boots on. The guide was shocked that Jack didn't relay this information to us. Having direct communication with the guide could have avoided this, but Jack wouldn't tell us who he was using ahead of time. I also asked Jack to book a fly out fishing trip/bear-viewing months in advance. Jack told me these things fill up quick and that I needed to pay in full in advance at a rate of $595.00 per person using PayPal. We went on the trip and had the time of our life. The problem is that this company (High Adventure Air) only charges $395.00 per person. I think you can see why I was upset. I came back to the lodge and asked him why he charged me $200.00 more per person and he immediately got in my face and starting yelling that he didn't like where the conversation was going. He then gave me an excuse that it was the first time he has used this company and that his usual company was (Talon Air). He wasn't aware there was a price difference. WHAT???? Unfortunately for Jack, I had already stopped by Talon Air and they also only charge $395.00, so his excuse didn't hold much weight. He was simply trying to charge me $400.00 more until I caught him. After having him bounce off of me and spill his drink on me and the porch, his wife finally had to tell him to get away from me and get back in the house. We packed our bags, left 3 days early, and went to town to stay. They ended up refunding that money but we had had enough. No one should treat a customer like that. Deep down they are probably good people, but you can't run a business when you're drunk every day and treat people the way we were treated. I'm going back to Alaska next year with 12 people but we won't be staying here.

Ok... As a campground, I give Bing's landing 3 stars, but as a fishing location... 4.5, so I'll…read moresplit the difference. Camping here is not great. The sites are kind of dusty and not very pretty. You get a picnic table, a fire ring, not much privacy and maybe some trees. Some sites are better than others. None of them have views of mountains nor the river. Sites can easily accommodate RVs. Like most federal campgrounds in Alaska, there is neither electric nor running water. On the plus side, there's a boat launch and tons of day parking for boat trailers and RVs for $15. Campsites are also 15. Car park is $5. It's a long walk down to the river as the banks here are very high (500 feet maybe?). We noticed a lot of birds, so I think this vantage is grrat for bord watching. The view from the top is kind of nice and on a clear day the Kenai River is really blue. All types of salmon are caught here, so I look forward to returning and trying my hand from this location that is known primarily to locals.

Only an Alaskan hotel would have an arctic entry to fit a school bus full of kids. Then the elevator. Then the cozy front desk tucked in the back away from the front door.

Note room. Not less. Enough space for two people and all your elbows without bumping into each other. Older style. But very very clean. Nothing at all was worn or used looking.
