Delta State Recreational Site is a popular campground for those traveling between Tok and Fairbanks. This campground gives visitors a wilderness feel, but keeps them conveniently close to town for events or shopping. There are stores, commercial showers and other services nearby. Delta State Recreation Site has 25 developed campsites, a picnic area, a covered picnic shelter, water and toilets.
A city airstrip next to the site allows for fly-in camping.
Directly across the highway from the recreation site lies the Delta River. This allows for some spectacular views of the Alaska Range beyond. On a clear day one of the tallest mountains of the Alaska Range, Mt. Hayes with an elevation of 13,832 feet, can be viewed from the park. Because of their high elevation, Mt. Hayes and five other mountains, that can be seen from the park, remain snow covered year round.
Delta SRS is currently under private management and is not maintained by the State of Alaska.
Delta Junction at mile 267 of the Richardson Highway.

The only campground we stay at when in Delta. Not large, not fancy but has a comfortable feel to it. It's in town and an IGA grocery store that is amazing. We have a 31 foot motorhome and can park in any of the campsites. There is designated tent sites as well. A clean and maintained camp that is $15 a night, which is average for a dry camp here in Alaska. Stop by if you can.
Enjoy
Small, quiet, clean & located very conveniently next to the airport and very close to town.
Firmly enforced policy re: NO ATV’s!
Stopped in here with about 6 or 7 in of snow. It was a great place to pull in for the evening to get off the road. There were no pay envelopes so I stuff $15 into the slot.
