Lower Skilak Campground

Lower Skilak Lake Campground offers 14 wooded sites with direct waterfront access and a boat launch, managed by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the Kenai Peninsula.

This first-come, first-served campground features pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, with sites ranging from free pull-outs on the shore to tent sites requiring short hikes; note that it can fill quickly during summer months and has no hookups or running water.

The rough access road with mud and uneven terrain requires vehicles with decent clearance, and pets must be leashed at all times.
