Seward is about 30 miles from Moose Pass, near where we’ve been parked. We had read of a parking spot on Old Exit Glacier Road, but our GPS and my phone didn’t agree on the road to get there, and we went my route as the highway was better. We parked in a large turnout area near the river, and then unhooked the Jeep and took that to find the other area. We never did find one at the coordinates we had. We went into town to see what there is.
We drove to the municipal campgrounds that are at the water. Some have electricity and some don't. There is also a dump station for a $5 fee. The history of having campgrounds on the waterfront is because of the 1964 earthquake. Much of Seward was destroyed following a tsunami. In reclaiming the waterfront, the City demonstrated that it was unsuitable for homes or businesses. Instead, it became park land and campgrounds.
After driving though town, we decided to go the 8 miles to
Kenai-Fjords National Park and see if there would be room to go with the
motorhome tomorrow. There are two lots, one with lanes for RVs and buses. There
were two turnouts right by the Chugach National Forest sign that we decided to
stay at, about halfway to the park; so we went back to get the motorhome. We were surprised how much traffic there was
that evening, with the road only going to the Park itself.
