Campground reservations

Water Taxi and Charter Reservations in Kachemak Bay

While the town of Homer is open-access, wilderness activities across Kachemak Bay State Park require pre-arranged water taxis. Charter fishing and peak-season glamping on the Spit often sell out six months in advance; verify all state park fees and vessel safety certifications through official Alaska Department of Fish and Game or State Park channels.
