We usually boondock all summer, but being so late in the season, we opted to enjoy hookups and clean hot showers! We are so greatful we chose to stay here! The new owner was very friendly and helpful and we can tell he takes pride in the campground! We appreciate the wonderful stay and will be back if we find ourselves around Fairbanks again.

Convenience to Fairbanks. Consistent services and cleanliness. Site backed into woods and was more private. I see they are now monetizing privacy levels which is smart. The showers are separate from the bathrooms but in same building. But the showers have no plug so after the shower if you want to sue a hair dryer you have to walk around the building to the bathrooms which is ok just need to plan for it. Having unisex showers individually has pros and cons. Privacy yes but if you need other things like an outlet or toilet not so convenient. There was a waste basket In the shower and I put the hair i removed from the drain there, but would have been nice to have something to grab it with like tissue paper. Plenty of hooks which is appreciated and a bench. The shelves in the shower stall were kinda small and narrow but held most of my products. Shower curtains had bears and moose which were fun. Bathrooms were also very clean and I thanked and complimented the cleaning woman on the cleanliness. She was working hard.

This was a great location for us to use as a base camp while seeing some of the areas and going up to the Arctic Circle. We had a deluxe patio site that was fantastic. They have a great playground for kids, several dog areas, games on the deck by the Chena River, and swings you can sit on and enjoy the river. Bathrooms were very clean. Showers were great too. I did several loads of laundry. They have plenty of washing machines and dryers. It is $4.00 to wash and $3.25 to dry. There is a gift shop and food items in the office. I love that they keep you informed as to when they are closing for lunch and a reminder before they close at night so you can get those last minute items you might need. The staff is amazing and so very nice. I loved chatting with them. This is the Northernmost KOA. Hopefully we will get to visit Alaska again and we will definitely stay here. Thanks for a great stay!!

The KOA is a very nice place to use as a base to explore Fairbanks. The sites are level and while close they are not cramped like other KOA campgrounds can be. The restrooms and showers are clean and I really appreciate the effort it takes to keep them clean. Laundry facilities are clean, spacious and all of machines were working. The grounds of the campground are very nice and the staff I encountered were very friendly which makes for a comfortable stay.

Very nice place. Just make sure you do not get sites 1-5… those are basically a parking lot behind a convenient store. The rest of the park is nice and they accommodated our changing schedule! Will be back! Beautiful area in back to site by the river too!

Multiple night stay. We had a pull through with plenty of room for our TT and tow vehicle. Nice picnic table, grass strips between each site, level with a gravel surface. Sewer is at the end of the site that could require sewer hose extensions. Our rig was small but to reach, we had to park at the very end of the site. Laundry room was clean, plenty of washers/dryers but expensive - probably the second most expensive so far on our four month trip. Plenty of areas to walk your pets and the dog park was nice. The front section of the Park was closed off - they were starting to winterize that area. In our section, we had a large bath house - his and her bathrooms on one side (small just two urinals, two toilets, and four sinks for the men). On the back side of the building were seven individual shower rooms but during our stay, only four were available for use. I say this because every time we walked our dog, showers 2, 3, and 4 were occupied. We walked our dog randomly throughout the day and would walk past the shower rooms on our way to our site. Every time, no matter the time, 2, 3, and 4 were occupied. I suspect they were occupied to either reduce daily cleaning, there were issues that made them unusable or they had been winterized. If you have base access, Fort Wainwright is just a few miles down the road. Go into North Pole near the Safeway and you find a nice car wash that most RVs could fit in,. Nice store, seems well stocked and the gas station at the entrance has ice and during the week, has sandwiches to order. We camped at Fairbanks / Chena River KOA in a Travel Trailer.

Friendly staff. With very clean restrooms and showers. Facility is in a decent location, but don’t expect it to feel much different than parking in a parking lot - as far as the actual spaces go anyways. WiFi, while “present” was non-existent, less then 1MB download…couldn’t even load a webpage. Benches near river were nice, but several of the games they have are in need of repair or replacement. Newer playground and grass area right near it were nice. I think, based on other reviews, this may be your best option in Fairbanks area, but it really could be better. Upgrade infrastructure to account for capacity, and ensure amenities are fully functioning and in good repair. Like I started though, bathrooms and showers were clean and great to have access to.

We got here late late and they had everything on the door waiting for us. They communicate by text which I appreciated and it was a good experience. A large park with laundry room and nice bathrooms. Also a place to rinse off your vehicle.

We stayed here a couple of nights and are staying some more nights in July. It is on a great location on the river. The bathrooms and showers are clean and have nice hot water. The laundry has quite a few units to wash & dry your clothes.

Great location right outside Fairbanks. Full hookups. Beautiful sites. Laundry and shower facilities are very clean. Laundry was inexpensive. On the Chena River with picnic tables and swings. My kids loved the playground which was clean and looked new. We played the giant Jenga game by the river. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

We are taking reservations for 2022. Folks have been waiting two years to get to Alaska so we expect it to be extra busy and reservations will be required. Our anticipated opening date will be May 15, 2022

This campground is really nice and very clean. The bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve seen in a campground with no bad smells. I would give 5 stars but I feel like the price is just a tad bit too high. Beautiful park next to the river. Would recommend.
