Adequate, but not great. It's nice enough, but we felt that the owners aren't interested in putting…read moreforth enough effort to make it great because your options are limited. Exposed light fixtures, unfinished trim...it feels like a remodel was started but things stalled out. The attendant was scarcely present, despite our requests for an audience. We were greeted by a note on the door even though we arrived during prime receiving hours. I said 'hello' when I saw her in the hallway while bringing in our luggage and she just put her head down and went on to load the washing machine without even so much as a smile. Our request to change payment methods went unheeded as she never answered our texts while we were standing outside her door. I understand that you may not be a people person, but it literally felt like she was going out of her way to avoid people. We spent 9 days in Alaska and visited a lot of lodges, motels, Bed and Breakfasts and by far...this was the worst and most expensive...even in Anchorage where one of the airport motels was a bit sketch, we found friendlier staff and a complimentary breakfast. I get it that resources can be hard to come by but a bowl of fresh fruit, a box of cereal, and some pastries from Costco would at least help guests digest the premium price tag on what amounts to a boarding house. We made use of the common space and made our own breakfast in the kitchen but that required planning and hoping we wouldn't be backed up waiting to use the stove or other utensils, plates, etc. With so many tours and activities with early start times in the area, it would have been nice to just grab and go...I feel like for what this place costs they owe you that much. Nonetheless, 3 stars for offering a bare bones room with beds...no frills, no personality, and a hermit attendant...seems more than fair. Hopefully this place wakes up to the potential they have to offer...but honestly, from my experience...it's just a little too lazy to even try. Sleep here if you have no other options...but that's about all it's good for...

This was a nice place to stay during our trip to Seward. It is conveniently located close to exit…read moreglacier and about 2-3miles from downtown Seward. The lodge is pretty much a bed&breakfast minus the breakfast part. They have a communal kitchen that guests can use as well as refrigerator both on the 1st and 2nd floor. They also have a firepit outside for guests to use. The room was neat and spacious. The only thing I wish they can improve on is to add provision to hang clothes. They don't have a front desk but the family lives onsite and they leave their number at the door in case we need to reach them. I did call ahead to let them know of my late check-in (8pm) which wasn't an issue with them. I did notice few people checkin in as late as 10.30pm.

JJK Campsites is nothing short of perfection! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place…read morewas going to be a summer of relaxation.Location & Scenery: Nestled in a pristine forest with breathtaking mountain views, the natural beauty here is unparalleled. The sunrise over the peaks was a daily highlight, and the tranquil snow capped mountains nearby provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation and reflection. Facilities: The campgrounds facilities include a water station and 30/20/15 Amp electricity. Our site was well maintained, with generous space, a sturdy picnic table, and a well-placed fire pit. There are no restrooms or dump stations at the campground but the city offers a free dump station. Activities: Theres something for everyone in the area. We enjoyed miles of well-marked hiking trails that cater to all skill levels, and the fishing was fantastic with Bear Creek Salmon run just a short walk from the campground. Downtown Seward is only 3 miles away which offers shopping, sightseeing tours and restaurants. Service: The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, providing great recommendations for local activities and ensuring our stay was flawless. Their dedication to maintaining the campgrounds high standards was evident throughout our visit. Amenities: JJK Campsites also has cabins for rent that offer a great place for visitors to come visit while you are staying here. Overall Experience: JJK Campsites offers an idyllic escape from everyday life. The perfect blend of natural beauty and outstanding service make it a perfect destination for both novice and experienced campers. We left feeling rejuvenated and already planning our next visit!

Great RV park with cabins with an amazing view of the mountains. Short drive to Seward.read more

The best place my family and I have ever camped. We would come back every year after year. Sue…read moreLange, the administrator, is the main reason it was such a pleasant experience. There is that feeling you get when you can message the camp host and she responds immediately with such warmth, that is in paralleled in any place we've camped throughout alaska. Not to mention the amazing view and tide walks with the kids in the morning and afternoon. If you have a second make a reservation, cause it is such a wonderful campground it's hard to get a spot if you don't have some foresight. It's in Seward but away from all the hassle and bustle and rigamarole that goes with camping in Seward, AK sometimes. Always our #1 choice and will continue to be for years to come. We have moved out of state now but be sure that when we return for a summer trip we will be staying at the Silver Derby. Thanks Sue for making camping such a great experience for our family and friends.

We showed up late in Seward hoping to get a water front campsite, but since it was a weekend we…read moredidn't find any in those areas. We found Silver Derby and it saved us from sleeping in the car. It was 10 a night for tents which was reasonable. There were a good amount of sites to choose from and they were all nicely covered by trees and very decently sized. The only two things that we didn't like were that the bathrooms were a slight walk away, they weren't too far, but it was pouring the whole time we were there, so you got soaked just walking there and the restrooms weren't very nice either. And you weren't allowed to have firearms in the campground which was just ridiculous in our opinion since we are in Alaska and there are bear everywhere. Over all we had a great experience.
