From jct Richardson Hwy 2 & Parks Hwy 3 (downtown Fairbanks): Go 4-1/4 mi W on Parks Hwy 3, then 3/4 mi E on Airport Wy, then 100 feet N on Sportsman Wy, then 1/2 mi W on Boat St.
Handy to pull in, clean.... typical park. A little tight with the neighborhood rv'ers.
Also the site map showing trees and open spaces is a lie... it's a boat repair shop with a speaker system "service line 6 please, service on line 6"
Riverside picnic tables a bonus an lots of mud pie to make for the kiddos.
Partial shade at sites. Not large, but not packed like some parks. Many of the pull-thru site are too short to stay connected even with our shorter 30 foot RV. Large light laundry. River walk runs along the back of the park.
07/20-25/22. Full-time RVer here. Stayed in full hook up space. Stayed in my p/u camper. Tight spots for large rigs(I also have a 46 foot DRV Mobile Suites) shrubs and trees between the sites are over grown. Nice gravel-ish paved interior roads. As with most parks in Alaska, RVs have evolved and parks have not. I'm sure two years ago this park would have got 5 stars out of me. But due to some flu going around in the last two years Alaska was hit harder than most. I keep this in mind while I'm traveling this beautiful state. The greenery between the sites is overgrown, however it was being attended to during my stay. Slowly but surely. The hookups are difficult as the sewer hookup placement is near the road, yet power and water are mid-site. Many of the provided picnic tables should be repaired or replaced. No campfires during my stay. The park sits along the Chena River, there are no sites actually on the river, but there are river-front sites. There is a very nice riverfront lawn/ picnic/ grass area for all to use. The laundry room.....dirty...pricey....$4. to wash and...$4. to dry...I did not use the washrooms (I am not Canadian). The well coiffed lady behind the counter with the small white well coiffed yapping dog that you may or may not have the pleasure to interact with actually lives in three (3) sites in the middle of the park. Her interactions with guests both telephonic and in person are testing. When she walks her dog through the park she has no interactions with her guests. When she happens into the laundry room she has no interactions with her guests. I feel somewhat sorry for this lady, as she does not have pleasant communication skills in a hospitality setting. A majority of the guests are Alaskan noted by the Alaskan licensing on their vehicles (I know a rental RV). All in all this park has potential of being a lot more than it currently is. The office closes at 9pm. You are able to check in after that. Many come in very late, and leave very early (hmmm) with no one watching.
Stayed in Tent site 05 for 2 night as we were camping through Alaska. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The RV site is the cleanest site I have ever seen including the bathrooms anywhere in the US. Perfect location, Right on the Chena River! Staff was kind enough to hold our bags on our last day before our flight out while we went out exploring. It’s a wonderful place and we will definitely come back again!
I would stay there again and again.
This says everything right!
Spotless!
From he grounds to shower and laundry facilities.
Linda is one of the nicest ladies you will ever meet. Beautiful lady too.
River’s edge restaurant is a perfect addition.
Location is perfect since it’s on the grounds of the RV camp and food is beyond delicious.
We went twice.
Kids loved too.
Here you go.
