Unfortunately, this very good campground is closed to all but seasonal campers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the best parks in Alaska. The only negatives are the price & the distance from downtown Fairbanks. Other than that, this is a great place to spend some easy days. The park staff was the best ever; very informative and helpful. Sites were big and easy. The float plane base is a great bonus. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park on float plane lake, enjoyed watching them. We used this park as a stop for a few days while we drove the Dalton Highway to Deadhorse. We hope to return some day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park with spacious, grassy sites on float plane pond. Personnel friendly and extremely helpful. Free pet walking service. Upon arrival a packet of material presented with maps, nearby attractions, locations of supermarkets, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although we made reservations for full hookups, we were given a site without sewer. When we complained, they switched us to another site at no extra charge. This was a nice park. It was neat to watch the float planes land and take off. The mornng we left, we saw two trumpeter swans take off from the lake. Awesome! The staff was wonderful. We had left something at our site when we left and they mailed it to us at no charge. We would absolutely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

In the heart of Fairbanks, this is a non-profit Campground. Their main mission is to hold every Feb. and Mar., the world's most prestigious ice carving event in the world. Check out their web site above. In the summer, the place is quite empty. We selected an "electric only" site but the the campground lets you dump and fill your drinking water for free. We thought when we checked in that the "advertised" rates were way to steep.....surprisingly....we were able to come to an agreeable price for our monthly rate. Which BTW is reflected in our rate posted above. The CG is very, very quiet. Shower rooms consist of toilet, sink, and shower in each of 2 rooms, and very clean. If you stay here try to figure what the black walls are for. With just a short walk you can venture over to Pioneer Park via a foot bridge over the Chena River with a 3 mile paved walk way good for, dah, walking and bicycling for the brave heart ed. The sites are VERY large and lots and lots of trees. We were here in June and the Mosquitoes weren't to bad, mostly because we are in the center of the city. There is a medium sized "meeting" hall if your clan is large. It even has a commercial kitchen you can negotiate for it's use. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camping in the parking lot of Pioneer Park. Allowed to park here up to 4 days. Seems to be a nice area. Wi-Fi from the park is included and worked really well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a City Park basically that allows you to park overnite in the parking lot. Admission to the park is free and so is the camping, if you want to take advantage of the coupons they give you when you pay for the night. The coupons are to the salmon bake and it is really very nice and a stroll thru the park is nice also, they have things for you to do and see. They also have water for you to fill your tank if needed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great location, some sites difficult for big rigs. Riverfront was a very positive feature. The office was great for access to tourist information. The WiFi was very inadequate, did not work for several of the eight days we stayed there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an okay park. We had a super pull-through site which are very narrow. Neighbor's window was about 5 feet from my door step. If you're looking for wi-fi go to Pioneer Park; wi-fi here was poor even using my external (on roof) antenna. Cable TV offered only a handful of channels. Whoever stated this place was 'immaculate' must be the owner. There was dog poo on my site as well as other animal droppings in other areas. Could not do lights in laundry since there was a problem with the water. Dumpster/dump station area was unsightly. Friendly staff We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, conveniently located. We had the "super site", which has FHU and cable in a pull-through site. There are lots of back-ins and sites with fewer services for less money. Campground wi-fi worked well for us but not so much for our next door neighbor, so it does seem to be site-dependent. There's a nice walk along the river and an okay restaurant associated with the resort that's part of the complex. The nicest laundry facilities we've seen anywhere. Drawbacks? Some of the sites are very cramped, although ours was not; it's in the flight path for the airport, so can be noisy; only one dumpster for the whole campground, which seems inadequate, although it didn't seem to be overfilled. We'd definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

River's Edge is a very nice, large RV park. It's on the west side of Fairbanks, close to the highway, but far enough from it that road noise isn't a problem. The prices of the RV sites start at $29.95 and increase as you add hookups. We paid $26.95 with a Good Sam discount for water and electricity but not sewer or cable. Some of the spots are right next to the Chena River; these cost $3 extra. The bathrooms were clean and warm. The campground is next to the River's Edge Resort, which has restaurants. The campground offers a variety of tours and shuttles (for a fee) to many local attractions. It also has a nice gift shop. Our only complaint was that the Wi-Fi was very slow and the signal failed repeatedly, possibly due to the number of users. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As campgrounds in Alaska go this was one of the better ones. Office staff great and very helpful with directions and things to do in Fairbanks. Had slot on the river and enjoyed the view and the walking path that led to the resort cottages and restaurant which had a good menu. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The 3 rows of "super pull throughs" have all utilities, and are wide and long enough. Wifi works in much of the park, but not everywhere. Good location and friendly people. Vehicle wash is available at $1 for 4 minutes. We enjoyed the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I was here for 5 days in September 2007. It is a great jumping off place to see Fairbanks. Bathrooms were always clean. Always hot water. Showers were spacious and clean. Hookups were easy. Wireless internet worked fine. The park is on the Chena River. Staff is helpful. They will arrange the tourist things and several tours will pick you up right at the park The park also has furnished cabins and a restaurant, They have a breakfast buffet worthy of a king. Cloth napkins and tablecloths too. The food was great and the price reasonable. I would definitely stay there again We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our site was a pull through but very tight for our truck and trailer. Our neighbors sewer was about 6 feet from our door. There were planes taking off and landing at the airport nearby. The RV park is near the college and Pioneer Park. We would probably opt for a less crowded place next time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Finally! The first place for us since Dawson Creek advertising Wi-Fi that actually had Wi-Fi that reached our campsite. It didn't work 100% of the time, but it did fine. Laundry is $2 to wash and $2 to dry with lots of machines; it was quite crowded when we were there. We had a water and electric back-in site (F16) that was just big enough for our 30 ft class A with the toad parked sideways in front. The site was level gravel/dirt with trees and greenery on both sides; we had a little bit of a view of the river from our site. The cable got about 12 stations but the picture quality was only fair. Office staff was capable and friendly. Not a bad park, we'd stay there again if we were in Fairbanks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed our stay very much and would certainly come again. Something that I don't recall being mentioned, but that I thought was a nice feature is the coin-operated vehicle wash. The laundry was large, clean, and well-maintained. I had trouble with a washer and was re-imbursed immediately. The restaurant was outstanding; a bit pricey, but worth it in our opinion. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a pull-through site right on the Chena River. Full 50 amp hookups with very good power, and free WiFi. Sites were largely shaded. Big laundry. We will stay there again on our next trip to Fairbanks if we want full hookups again. Plenty of big rig sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were here with a big-rig rally. All fit in, but some took some maneuvering. Nice people. Great gift shop, but pricey. Sites not necessarily level, and quite tight. Full hook up sites available. Roads narrow. Great stuff about them: right on the beautiful river, free wireless, clean & well-kept, nice restaurant next door at their cabins facility. It's across from the airport, so there is some noise. Finding the entrance is challenging - it's just off Airport Way. They will help with tours of the area. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We intended to stay a week but extended due to a hospitalization of one of our party. Staff is friendly and very helpful and we had no trouble extending the stay. The WiFi and cable TV worked great; laundry was clean and had numerous washers and dryers. The shower rooms (about 10 individual rooms), laundry house and mens and ladies toilets were all locked and keyed to the same key that you paid a refundable $5.00 deposit on when checking in. All were extremely clean. They have a rather large rec hall and patio area fronting the Chena River which is nice to visit. It has gravel drives and sites with grass between them and there is ample room between all the sites and we saw some extremely large coaches in there that seemed to negotiate everything very well. It is located equidistant between Fairbanks and North Pole and has very very little road noise although there is an occasional aircraft flying overhead. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a large gravel base RV park with grass between the sites. Most of the sites were large pull-thru's and spacious. We stayed there a week. The cable TV and WIFI were both working well and we didn't experience any issue with either. It was quite and peaceful. It is located in the town of North Pole and within easy access, 8 or 9 miles of Fairbanks. We liked the campground and would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, convenient & clean with easy in/out. Free vehicle wash station. BUT, they continue to charge a premium price & advertise cable TV and free wi-fi in both local and nat'l publications when neither has worked for 2 seasons. The Cable TV provider went bankrupt and no substitute available according to staff. The wi-fi shows a signal but no one can ever connect. The office staff just shrugs and says they don't know what to do and do not know where else we could connect anywhere in the area. We stayed 2 weeks and it worked one afternoon only. So, avoid here if you need internet to connect with family or do banking. We searched and found free wi-fi in library in North Pole. 10 miles. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We originally booked 3 nights and had to extend to 17 nights due to a medical emergency. The staff (Dawn) was superb. They were able to book me into my site for as long as necessary and offered to move the RV for me if they needed the site for a scheduled caravan.(Wife does not drive, Husband in hospital). The Wifi, though it had to be rebotted several times a week was strong and free. The cable TV was good. The laundry was adequate though it would get crowded. $1.75 to wash $1.00 to dry (30 min.) There are great places to walk pets and they have a service station (with diesel) with the best gas / diesel prices around. Also a convinience and liquor store. 10 Minutes to Fairbanks. The campground was in good condition and a very helpful staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
