Camp in the Homer Spit municipal campground. It was around $15 night per spot, IIRC. No hookups, but the scenery can't be beat, and the eateries and shops are also plentiful along the spit. Visit the "Rum Locker" for supplies if so desired (ahem?). There's even a Starbucks and a McDonalds there.

That is really great guiding.
When I did not find anything in Soldotna to stop for, we did stop at Cooper Landing and it looks like great fishing and rafting destination, what we have not been into.
Homer Spit and Seward are spot on with scenery.
Homer also is having the "vacation spirit" with lot of bars, fish & chips and ice cream stops, that some might like.
We still have Whitter to see in a day, or 4, but looks it is hard to be disappointed here.
Thanks again.
