So Much To Do on the Kenai Peninsula! (Work Camper Adventures at the Diamond M Ranch Resort)

Helping to run the Diamond M Ranch Resort campground is not a job for the faint of heart. Somewhat similar to juggling plates, a good work camper has to be able to multi-task. Here at the Diamond M Ranch, that means the ability to go on dog sled rides with Ididaride Sled Dog Tours...

 

Raft glacier-fed rivers with the Alaska Rivers Company...

Haul in a big catch with Chihuly Charters...

Or go flying with High Adventure Air (awesome!), and even enjoy a glacier cruise with Major Marine Tours, and so much more!

A big thank you to all of the above companies, for offering our work campers these opportunities to experience Alaska. As they say, the best advertisement is a happy customer, and our work campers certainly had a ball with all of you!

We have the most amazing Work Campers, year after year, and words can't express how much we appreciate them. Each one always has a unique skill, whether it's in answering phones, organizing office areas, helping with new construction, landscaping and gardening, building fences, working security, helping with ranch animals, having a friendly smile to greet guests, hosting fish fry socials---and even making beautiful signs* placed all around the resort, named after each one of our family members!

Summer at the Diamond M Ranch Resort flies by quickly, always so much going on---so many things to see and do, as well as so many wonderful guests to help have a wonderful stay. We appreciate our Work Campers so much. Their energy, smiles, and helping hands truly enable us take our business to the next level!

*Thank you, Jim Diggs, for the beautiful signs and for the great pictures above that you shared with us!

America on Wheels: Great Review for the Ranch

What a nice review this is about the Diamond M Ranch Resort.  Thanks so much, Janet!   

"Great place to stay!


If you have the opportunity to stop, this is a good central location for lots of activity. The WiFi works well and the bathhouse is very clean. The laundry facilities are good. The sites are good size and the office has recommendations for places to fish, eat, hike and sight see. They even have activities such as the clam chowder social and pot luck dinners. This is a quiet park where you can feel at home. Instead of moving the RV around the Kenai, we stayed here and traveled to Homer and Seward (Seward was a little far for a day trip)."

Free Activities for Your Alaskan Vacation

"We and our friends stayed with you last July (2008). While keying in my journal entry from our stay there, I was reminded of your wonderful hospitality and family atmosphere. Thank you for going beyond just providing a camping space. We enjoyed a BBQ of 5 kinds of salmon, steak, potatoes and salad our first night there - what a welcome! After driving 7000 miles, I can say that camping at the Diamond M Ranch stands out in my mind as one of the best in our 7 weeks of travel. Thank you."

The Diamond M Ranch is an experience in camping that few can parallel! A family owned campground run by three generations of the Martin Family, we are a warm and friendly group eager to help in any matter, whether it be repairs, fishing charters, or advice on sightseeing. Each day has an organized activity you are invited to participate in - clamming to suppers to courses on fish preparation and canning.
