Chicken Gold Camp & Outpost in Chicken, AK

Enjoyed our time’s spent there as Chicken Gold Camp is the real deal there with log cabin rentals, RV spot’s, offsite gold mining opportunities, tours of the bucket line dredge, lots of history, great people, food and stories to be heard. We have always had a great time.

We don’t get to do much in the summer as we to are Alaskan business owners. We make the time to go to chicken gold camp for our get away. Great people, great place and service like no other. You are treated like GOLD there. See you all again soon and I’m planning on digging a couple ounces while I’m there.

Chicken Gold Camp is a magical place for my wife and I. We go up every year for Chickenstock and usually do another fall trip for gold mining, hunting, and fishing. The cabins are nice, outhouses are clean, showers are hot, food is delicious, and beer is cold.

Lovely camp grounds! Outpost is such fun to browse through with beautiful and fun, whimsical gifts for everyone in the family. Friendly service and great coffee and the sandwiches are so yummy! The pastries are tasty too!

We brought our own camping trailer so no staying in rooms although from looking inside they looked really comfortable. My wife and I spent five summers there mining for gold on the camps claim.  We nothing but great memories of being there.  The staff there made us feel like family.  When we did eat at the Outpost the food was great.  I would recommend anyone who wants to have an Alaskan adventure Chicken Gold Camp and Outpost is the place to go.

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.

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.
