A longer post than usual, covering six full days . . . We arrived at the Kenai Princess RV Park in Cooper Landing knowing we had someplace to call home for seven nights. Beyond that, we needed to fill about a week and a half before our reservations at one of the municipal campgrounds in Seward kicked in. Figuring that Cooper Landing was a good base camp for exploring the central part of the Kenai Peninsula and an adequate, if not ideal, base for exploring the western end of the Peninsula, we asked about extending our stay at the Kenai Princess.
Kim, the manager of the RV Park, worked very hard to fit us in. Despite her efforts, there was a two day gap she couldn’t cover, immediately following our current reservation. She promised us that, if we could leave for just two days, we could come back and stay as long as we’d like. Well, if we had to leave for two days, we might as well try to find another campground that would put us in a better position for exploring the western end of the Peninsula. With a heartfelt thank you to Kim for all of her efforts on our behalf, we spent the next couple of days poking around the Peninsula, checking out both private RV parks and State Recreation Areas. We really needed to find a place to call home!
