Our full service site was clean but way too close to the other sites. So close that a fellow camper's awning bumped us when he was cranking it out. A very nice evening program "Alaska Legends, Tall Tales, Outright Lies by Rich Eskew inside a meeting area.
Wonderful campground, super efficient check in, beautiful grounds to greet you and ample room at our campsite. Good base for touring Fairbanks and surrounding area. Was pleasantly surprised at being able to wash our vehicles in a designated area without charge. So grateful after driving thru some of the dirt and dust.
My wife and I spent the summer here visiting family. The sites were spacious compared to the many other rv parks we stayed in on our journey to Fairbanks. Our biggest dissatisfaction with this rv park was the lack of enforcement of managements own park rules. The two biggest complaints we had was dogs being left outside unattended and barking and your neighboring campsite having more than one vehicle on their site and parking on the grass and on your site.

The two biggest complaints we had was dogs being left outside unattended and barking and your neighboring campsite having more than one vehicle on their site and parking on the grass and on your site. The rv park rules clearly state that both of these are strictly prohibited but yet no one from the parks management and staff did anything about it. The park is very noisy from external traffic and ATV's cutting through the parks entrance diveway all hours of the day and night. Unfortunately, they put their long term guests right up front by the entrance and road so we had to deal with all the noise and traffic of in coming and exiting campers. Would not recommend this park for long term stays.

Sites was tight, but not as bad as other RV parks throughout the state.. Husband said the bathroom was ok, but the showers was not as nice. Nothing really for kids to do there.. Had they not had a ball with them, there was nothing for them to do there, not to mention at 11 and 13 they had to be with an adult at all times.. After over 5000 miles, I didn't want to stand in a field and watch them kick there ball back n forth
Love this Big Rig Friendly park! No Problem getting our rig in these huge sites which is nice for Alaska as some other campgrounds are a bit tight. There sites are large & grass.... the dog loved it. The bathrooms and laundry are spotless. The owner is wonderful and the tours she suggested and booked for us were awesome. Thanks for the great stay and look forward to coming back next year!
Enjoyed our stay here, sites are far enough apart that you don't feel cramped. Lots of sites so if you are traveling with children chances are good you'll little ones will find some new friends. The "river view" is OK but you're up on a little bluff so all you can really do is just "view" it. Laundry facilities were clean and plentiful. Restrooms were clean as well. All in all a nice, convenient place to stay in and around Fairbanks. Would definitely stay there again.
