best tent camping russian river image
Q. I'm planning a trip to Soldatna and was wondering where the closest (and best) place is to see land wildlife as well as the best place to see glaciers/aqua wildlife. Is there some sort of national park or guided tour in Soldatna? Thanks.
Answer
The best wildlife viewing is by flight seeing, and there are plenty of them in that area. Soldotna is a community that is a junction city. It is where you decide to go either to Kenai, or on to Homer.
Kenai is a coastal community and the mouth of the Kenai River, a world class salmon fishery; and where there are salmon there are bears.
Kenai is also home to a small caribou herd that roams the tidal flats. It is an old Russian fishing village dating back to the early exploration of Alaska.
The Kenai, and Russian Rivers are world class for salmon fishing. This is where we catch the 60 and 70 pound King Salmon!
Homer is a "quaint drinking village with a fishing problem" (this from a local bumper sticker). Halibut is the mission in Homer. These are the big ones over 200 lbs. The Homer Halibut Derby draws people from across the globe to participate.
The Homer Spit is a feature that is simply great. You can tent camp on the beach or, park your RV in any number of RV areas, both private and city sponsored. Hotel space is generally readily available as well especially at land's End.
Seward is home to many sightseeing venues as well. The Kenai Fjords National Park, just outside of Seward, is gorgeous! Whale watching is very popular here. Lots of tour boats to show you the way.
There are so many things to see in this part of Alaska. Spend some time on the listed web sites to help plan ahead. One thing to take advantage is is the Great Alaska Tour Saver; lots of coupons for two for ones in this.
Have a great visit to the Greatland!

Best places to Camp In Northern CA, Planning a trip soon!?
Michael
Hey! What are some of the best lakeside RV (full hook up) Campsites in Nor Cal? I have tried researching, but I'd prefer peoples experiences. Also, it would be great if it had jet ski rentals and lots of amenities near by. I'm planning a trip this coming July and need to get it coordinated soon. Your answer is highly appreciated.
Answer
I don't have direct RV experience. However, I suggest that you try Lake Sonoma & Warm Springs Dam area for both jet ski rentals & RV hookup camping. This would be in the Geyserville & Cloverdale areas.
The sites I saw included comments, both positive & negative from campers, including the risk from ticks. (If you get a tick, save it in a jar with lid when you remove it for further testing. It is a risk in Northern California. Also, you might try taking a salt water bath & inspect for ticks carefully each night. I doubt that one area is any other when it comes to ticks. Besides, you can get them out camping or you may get them just as easily from your own backyard, depending on where you live or if you have animals bringing them in. When camping or hiking, though, use some caution regarding ticks & snakes when it comes to sitting on a rock or a log.
You might also try the Clear Lake area in Lake County. However, you'll have considerably more windy roads getting there, while the Lake Sonoma area might be closer to the freeway. One campground near the freeway was given as easy for quick trips into town for supplies while having little awareness of the freeway while camping.
There are other camping areas in Sonoma County, such as at the ocean, in the redwoods, such as near Armstrong Redwoods State Park, both in the park & just outside the park (privately owned), & Austin Creek area, all near the Russian River. You may also want to ask around to find someone who's savvy about directing you to secret locations for wild blackberries around side roads & creeks. While it would give you a very rural feel to it, with plenty of beautiful plants in the undergrowth, I'm doubtful that they have the full RV hookup, though you might make inquiries at the private campgrounds outside the park itself. My visiting relatives liked the lower rates at one while they were camping with their tent trailer, as compared to inside the state park.
However, I first gave Lake Sonoma due to your desire for full RV hookup & for jet ski rentals. The main drawback, though, is that you'll be in a much hotter area near Cloverdale & Geyserville than in the Russian River & the coastal areas, where you'll receive the evening cool downs from nature's air conditioning coming from the coast. Also, you may love the beautiful canopy from the redwoods near the Russian River. Just don't expect it to be the boating or lake experience that you're wanting. Boating on the Russian River is more oriented toward canoes.
If you want a variety of things to do beyond lakeside & camping, you may prefer Sonoma County to Lake County, which may have fewer things to do besides on the lake. I would associate it with the more rural & isolated experience, although you could drive into Calistoga for hot springs, spas, fine dining, & charm.
