Camping Waterside at Marathon Campground in Seward, Alaska






Eric & I are spending four
nights at Marathon







This campground and five others along the shore in Seward are operated by the city.  Previous to the 9.2 1964 Earthquake,  this land was railroad yards and storage.   Following the Earthquake, Tsunami hit the shore and devastated the area.  Rebuilding the Seward waterfront included creating campgrounds for visitors to use.






Pick out a campsite,
record its number when
you pay for your stay.






The Tsunami Escape Route
is clearly marked.






Potable water is
available.






Two Dump Stations are across
the street with two
Potable Water Hookups.



Waterside sites don't have electricity

Sites with electricity cost
$30.00 per night.

Tenters pay $10.00 per night.








Campsites have fire rings.

No luck with DirecTV satellite TV reception here.
