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

The park is not open unless you stay for 3 months at $880 a month. If you pay that price for this park you are insane. The Wi-FI is so weak it is useless. No cable TV, no satellite TV, no 50amp, weak 30 amp that kicks breaker all the time. The park has a dirt road running by it; some site's are 10 feet from that road; it is very dusty. Only one person stayed a month the owner would not let him have a site because he had a tent so she put him near a mosquito hole behind some of the buildings on the property. The park is not open until around May 15 for full hook up; until then you only have power. Owner has an RV rental company on site so the campground is very old and run down and basically closed to the public. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground has a convenient location in the middle of town. There are ten electrical hookups (one has 50-amp) with water. There are flush toilets but no showers. It is on the Chena River. It has a boat ramp and dump station.The sites are spacious with nice vegetation between. Our 40' motorhome and car fit easily. There is a park host on site. It is on 221 University Ave., one block north of Airport Way. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

The campground is along the river so it was nice to go for walks and watch the ducks and geese. The place is quiet and clean. The sites are a decent size and fairly level. The 1st night we were in a large site, the next night was much smaller. It's near a busy road but we didn't hear the traffic noise. Close to shops and groceries. Convenient to U of A also. We came back for a 2nd night so would obviously recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a Super pull-thru site with a river view because of the small trailer parked between us and the river. There was plenty of room for our 33 foot 5th wheel with the truck parked in front of it. When we arrived the people next to us had their awning out and there wasn't much room between it and our large room slide when it was out. The cable worked but the picture had some lines through it. The main negative was the Wi-Fi at our site which didn't work all of the time and was very slow. They are in the process of removing some large trees at some sites which will make those sites less tight. Apparently there is a lot of iron in the water in Fairbanks and the laundry had signs posted not to wash light colored clothes and to only use cold water. The office said there shouldn't be any problems just using cold water. We did choose to do laundry but did have a white bath mat that got some large stains on it despite only using cold water. We had dinner at Chena's and the food was very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The sites were a little tight as were the interior roads. However; we have a 45' motor coach and the park was large enough for us. If you need to be in Fairbanks this is a good choice. Additionally this campground has some 50 amp sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If we had it to do over, we would have camped at Santaland RV Park instead. We stayed at Riverview several days while we waited for our mail to catch up with us. We were at the very end of the season. Wi-Fi was intermittent. The much advertised car wash didn’t work. The “free” showers and bathrooms were unheated, which was a little chilly this time of year. The temporary front desk employee was clueless, but the owners who normally run the place would have been better. We ended up stopping by Santaland for advice about local services and attractions. Their staff were marvelous on the phone and in person and helped us a great deal. Riverview did have some nice features: It has a beautiful view of the Chena River and lovely paved bike paths nearby. Unfortunately, the ditch between the road and bike path turned out to be a raceway for local ATVs. They zoomed noisily up and down next to the camp at all hours of the day and night. The camp had a large laundromat with plenty of washers and dryers in good condition. However, the laundry room was dirty enough that I actually took my own broom and swept it out. I’ve never done that before. The weekly rate was not much of a discount ($15 off total), so we just paid the daily rate and left early. You pay a $5 deposit for a key to the bathrooms, showers, and laundry room. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a level, open park with mostly long pull-through sites. 50 amp power is available and the park is very big rig-friendly. It's a little out of the way but generally quiet. It's popular with caravans, but we were able to get in without reservations. Free Wi-Fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Many large pull through sites with grass and picnic table, free RV wash station, all services worked as advertised. Convenience store and gas/diesel on-site. Staff friendly and helpful. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
