With over 80 sites on the Homer Spit, the Fishing Hole Campground is a popular destination for campers.

Located across Homer Spit Road from the Fishing Hole and the halibut hook statue, this tent area offer quiet beach camping on the west side of the Homer Spit to watch the sunsets and otters!
There are two city maintained dump stations available in Homer that open as soon as weather permits and close in the fall once it begins to freeze.
