However, we do provide ample free firewood for campfires of any size and duration, enhancing the outdoor experience for all.
During picnics and other gatherings, guests are welcome to safely burn any amount of the free firewood provided. This firewood comes from approximately 300 trees that were cut during the property’s clearing over the past several years.
These trees, like many in Alaska, were affected by beetle infestations between 2020 and 2023, posing a significant wildfire risk. By cutting them down, we’ve made the former forest area safer for exploration, camping, weddings, and other recreational events.
During picnics and gatherings, guests can enjoy a cozy campfire using the firewood provided. It’s a perfect spot for friends and groups to gather, share stories, and enjoy the warmth of the flames.
For safety, always ensure the campfire is fully extinguished before leaving. Water from the nearby tank and buckets can be used, or a designated person can stay behind to make sure the fire is completely out, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the experience with peace of mind.
For leisurely strolls nearby, we offer picturesque spots right on the campsite where guests can capture memorable photographs and enjoy conversations with friends and relatives.

At the heart of the property lies an open area, serving as the primary spot for all gatherings, including wedding events and camping. Surrounded by trees, this area ensures privacy from street views and onlookers.
Customers have the freedom to choose the location of the campfire, tents for food courts, sleeping areas for overnight campers, and other events, as well as to place small architectural items like wedding arches according to their specific needs and the number of attendees. This zone is still under development and will soon be covered with a grass lawn.
This stone wall was constructed using natural stones and boulders collected on-site during the grading of the parking lots and driveways by a bulldozer. The wall runs alongside the short driveway that separates the first and second parking lots.
Above the wall, the natural landscape consists of a forest and bushes, which evolve each year as the trees and shrubs grow. Their unpredictable sizes and shapes create ever-changing views, adding a touch of natural surprise annually. In the near future, we anticipate the rapid growth of Norway Spruces, which will become the tallest elements of the visible landscape at Soloview Park.
Tourist campfires are generally allowed throughout most of the year, except on days of exceptionally hot and dry Alaskan summers. During these times, warnings may be issued by the Fire Department, and even small campfires may be prohibited for safety reasons.
However, we have plenty of firewood in stock, and its use is absolutely free for guests to enjoy.
It is not uncommon to see many porcini mushrooms growing at Soloview Park! These mushrooms are edible and add to the natural beauty of the area.

For hygiene purposes, this toilet is designated as a female-style lavatory, intended for seated guests only. It's a rule that all guests, regardless of gender, should follow for cleanliness and comfort.
