Kenai Fjords National Park

RVing to Kenai Fjords National Park offers an unforgettable experience for those who want to see Alaskan glaciers and wildlife up close. Exit Glacier is one of the most popular attractions in the park. You can also hop on a boat tour or kayak in the Kenai Fjords to see whales, sea lions, seals, and other sea creatures, or you could lace up your boots and hike the Harding Icefield Trail. Remember that much of the park is covered in heavy snow during the colder months. The road to Exit Glacier remains unplowed in the winter, so it becomes closed to vehicle traffic once snow and ice make it impassable. If you plan on venturing out on the water, be aware that rough seas can make travel dangerous in the late fall through the early spring. For these reasons, the best months to visit are June, July, and August.

Since Alaska is a vast state with rugged terrain, traveling to certain towns may require a ferry, boat, or plane. However, Kenai Fjords is conveniently located right outside of Seward. Driving to Kenai Fjords National Park is easy if you start your journey in Anchorage or any other town connected to Seward. This makes this park ideal if you'd like to travel in an RV and bring everything you need with you.

The only part of the park accessible by road is the area around Exit Glacier. You can find RV parking in Kenai Fjords at the Exit Glacier parking lot, which is also close to the Exit Glacier Nature Center. This center is open daily in the summer, from 9am - 5:30pm. Another way to get around is by leaving your RV at one of the campgrounds near Kenai Fjords National Park and taking a shuttle or taxi to the park. You can then hike or take a boat ride to see the park's more remote areas. The park's main visitor center is located at the Seward small boat harbor since guests often stop here before taking a boat ride. This visitor center is open daily in the summer from 9am - 7pm.
