It’s just an odd and interesting place. Chicken Gold Camp is a gem in the middle of nowhere. If you happen to be in the area, a for sure stop.

First off, you aren't in Chicken unless you want to be in Chicken. Hours of dirt roads to get here, so location is 5 stars... As you have reached your destination! We rented a medium cabin and it is a dry cabin, no plumbing. We had a king bed and a twin bed and a propane heater. That's it! But it is a good price at $60. Definitely, the least expensive place you will find anywhere in pricey Alaska. Internet WiFi is Starlinkz but its hokey to login and your limited to 1 mb speed which means you can just get your email and send some texts and when I closed my browser it closed the connection and would take the fancy individual code again. Its just hokey. Really, just expect no WiFi... And of course there is absolutely no cell service there either. No lights in the cabins, so bring a flashlight. Staff was okay and friendly. Showers are in a separate building and cost a ridiculous $1 per minute, this is likely due to the whole place being off grid and heating water takes a lot of power. Like I said, take it as it is, it will be good. Best northern light views we have ever seen.

So i know I didn't write the previously posted review, I love love love Chicken Gold Camp. It's my Favorite place,a nice far from society's hustles, the family that owns and runs is amazing.Their gift shop has things you won't find anywhere else, the foods they make in the restaurant are delicious and made to order! They have a great gold Dredge tour on site and fun gold panning. A great place to just Breathe in Alaskan skies and rest...

Rough road leading to a very pleasant surprise: 2025 "Chickenfest"! We did not have tickets, so I did not stay, but it was shaping up to be a good time for those that did.

Pulled in for a night’s sleep. Pit toilets, coin-operated showers, plenty of room for my campsite. The tent sites are not tucked in to trees; they are exposed. If all you need is a bit of sleep, it’s perfect. If you are looking for a scenic, cozy place to hang out for a few days, not so much.

We had a great time in the camp last year. The problem is that all the services are very restricted. When you arrive you find out that they ask you not to empty the tanks or fill up the water unless strictly necessary as its a remote location. Its understandable but should be advertised more clearly while booking trough the website. Then the wifi pass means its 100mb use, which will last 5minutes, and also is not advertised (or not very clearly). And then for the shower you have to pay, so at the end we didnt get the services that we expected. Other than that The gold panning experience was a lot of fun, the man in charge gave us a really good explanation on how to do it and he was so nice to us that was enough to overcome the inconveniences.

Perfect place to camp if you visit the Top of the world highway. We drycamped here without electricity or water. It's more of a big parking lot, but you have your own space and picknick table. During our stay a lot of gold miners were staying here. Bit loudly sometimes but okay. If you want, and there are enough participants, you can visit the dredge on their site.

A clean and quiet campground. Bathrooms were messy and extremely small. The shower was $1.00 per minute, and the water was warm at best. The staff was friendly and courteous. The location is a goldmine. There is a bar nearby, and the bartender was fantastic. We believe he made the stop worthwhile.

Great people, quirky sights, always a good fun break from town! I enjoy the gifts especially knowing they are locally made NOT FROM CHINA, wonderful coffee, and food.

Spent six nights here in late August. Worked my butt off, but pulled 4.3 grams of gold. I would come back here in a heartbeat! Friendly folks, great pizzas, and plenty of good advice from staff and other prospectors. Definitely want to come back for Chickenstock!

Great stopover in Chicken! Provided 110 volt power, clean showers and central to most everything in Chicken. Great campground!

My first Chickenstock! What a great time! A wonderful little Alaskan Secret! We so look forward to coming back next year. If you have some time It's worth the drive! Thank you Chicken Gold Camp for making the experience so positive!

I loved the little shops and antique truck. Nice touch! They were not in full swing yet because it was still to early in the year but his stock looked like he was ready for business. Because of the covid being lifted they are excited to receive visitors. We were greeted by the owner standing on the porch of his business wearing his apron. Friendly Service.
