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 morning 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.

Nice park, excellent views of the float plane pond. The fishing for northern pike was fair at best, however. We camped here in a Tent.

Run by friendy management, grassy sites, and room enough for awning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were surprised to find a State Park in the middle of Fairbanks. Our site had electric/water and was wooded with distance and vegetation between campsites to provide privacy. All sites had a table and fire pit. We were located on the Chena River with a boat ramp and also an easy walk to grocery stores and we ate at Brewsters around the block which was a little expensive but good. The campground has a bath house with running water and flush toilets but no showers. It also has a dump and water for refill. The campground is under the flight pattern for Fairbanks Airport but the noise was not too disruptive. My sons had to catch an early flight on the second morning so the location was convenient for them and a taxi picked them up early at our camp site. We visited on Labor Day Weekend and Pioneer Park was fairly deserted. We drove to North Pole, AK and Santa's House which was really a tourist trap but I must admit it was fun. We parked the RV and walked around Fairbanks and I had not imagined it being that small. Most everything was closed for the holiday. We were able to get a few TV channels but most of all wanted to see an aurora which we were not fortunate to see. We also had WiFi and even caught a clear glimpse of Mt. Denali and the Alaskan Range on an elevated bridge. The only complaint I have is the former campers of our site let their dog do his/her thing around the picnic table which resulted in our having to clean and fumigate our shoes and door mat into the RV. How rude and inconsiderate! Other than that our stay at Chena River is a memorable one. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good location for exploring Fairbanks. Pleasant park. It's under the flight path for an airport. Limited number of sites for a 40' MH. Spacious sites, though. Pleasant host couple. Grocery stores nearby (Fred Meyer and Safeway). Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice spacious RV park in the middle of Fairbanks. Its a old state park and the sites are heavily treeded between each site. There are two types of available sites: electric (some with water) ($28), and no hookups ($17). We ended up in a no hookup site. But since we plan to pull out and do things in town, thats fine. Easy in and out and thereas a dump station and fresh water available. WiFi is available and we are on line now. You can pull in about 12 TV channels on your TV antenna too! 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.

Very good location, when visiting Fairbanks. Large sites, with good interior roads. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a City Park basically that allows you to park overnight in the parking lot. Admission to the park is free. 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, it is really very nice. The stroll through 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.

We stayed at this park four days over the 4th of July holidays and used it during our time in Fairbanks. The facility was clean, gift shop was nice, and bathrooms were clean and neat. The laundry facility was adequate with many washers and dryers, but several were not operable. The LACK OF ADVERTISED WI-Fi SERVICES was intolerable. We were not able to connect even once over the four-day time period that we were here. When we told the office about the lack of being able to connect, they said that they would reset the system, but nothing improved. When people are traveling miles from their home, they DEPEND on internet service to connect with their families and to check out local items of interest. This was not possible at this park. Additionally, immature people were running the facility at night, and they were so busy complaining about their pay structure and gossiping about a co-worker when I was in the gift shop that they never once asked if I needed assistance or recognized that I was a customer. Unprofessional. I would NOT stay in this facility again and would NOT recommend it to others. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

This is a very well maintained and operated RV park. They have a laundramat with large capacity washers and gas dryers. They have a very nice gift shop and there is a restaurant adjacent to the park. The riverfront is park like with benches and grass along the bank. You can also fish here if you like. The sites are small and closely packed but typical of this kind of campground. We did not use the park Wi-Fi but it was available. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park just opened for the season last week. Cable TV was not working. Internet was for 1 hour only. Grass needed trimmed but I assume it is the fact that they just opened. Overall the park is ok. Like most in Alaska, the sites are close together, but tolerable for the short term. The office staff was friendly. They have tour information if you want it, and know the area. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Seemed to be a lot of noise after the "quiet" hour and there was no patroling evident. Sites were mostly shaded but small. The park IS close to activities and things of interest. It IS NOT a place I would recommend long term. Tents are allowed on sites next to RV sites. I expected better sites for the money. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV campground was a one night stop while traveling through Fairbanks and seeing the local sights. I called for a reservation from the downtown visitor's center. The gal answering the phone was knowledgable and efficient, we got the last site that would fit our 26' class C, RV. We had dinner at the local Salmon Bake (it's worth the stop), then returned about 8:30 pm to find our campsite. One side of the campground fronts on the Chena river. Wow, this place is all about packing them in for maximum generation of income. It was wall to wall RV's of all types. They advertise 189 sites and there were only a couple empty. They are efficient, but some things have been dropped. They advertise free WiFi, but don't plan on using it. Our site was only about 50 yards from one of the antennas (nailed up on a 2x4 bracket on a spruce tree), but I couldn't connect. When I checked in, another patron was complaining at the office that she couldn't login. "We are resetting the connection" was the reply. I think it was simply an issue of waaaay too many people trying to share the signal. However, I tried again very early the next morning and still couldn't connect. They do offer 5 booths at the office with ethernet cable connections, but that wasn't a winner either. There was one live cable that went to a router with 5 ethernet cables, one going to each booth. Evidently the router didn't work, 'cuz the main incoming ethernet cable was pulled up into one booth. That did work. The onsite laundromat had about 1/3 of the dryers labeled as "out of order". The washing machines were labeled suggesting using cold water only. I tried a load using the only detergent available from their vending machine (All, powdered), and the load finished with undissolved detergent specks all over the clothes. Not impressed. The bathrooms had a row of 3 or 4 shower stalls on one side, they were OK. This campground is in a convenient location for visiting Fairbanks, but they are in serious need of someone to keep all their systems working! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at Rivers Edge for the Summer Solstice in 2010. This may have been a mistake as the Park was too far out to walk to any of the good activities. Laundry room was OK, but several washers were broken. The worst thing was the internet which was so bad, you did not want to try to use it. We would not go back here next time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in a site near the river. There were signs saying not to wash light colored clothes. The laundry was also not that clean. The wireless internet was intermittent at best. They do have an "internet cafe" where you can use a wired connection but it was very busy since the wireless internet wasn't working. On the website, they mention that airport shuttles but it turns out that is only for tours booked through the campground. 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-through 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 TV 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.

We had a tight, back-in site near the river. The sites offered no place to park our trucks when we unhooked. The staff was very friendly and helpful with booking tours. Their Wi-Fi was weak, and although the cable worked well, there are a limited number of stations. If in the area again we would prefer to stay at Pioneer Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.

Lovely park right on river, with large pull through gravel sites. Friendly helpful staff. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.

Nothing possible to complain about this RV Park! The staff was very helpful. The park was immaculate. We had a wonderful stay for the 5 days we were here. 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.

This was a nice place to camp for sightseeing in Fairbanks. The campground is right off the highway, but relatively quiet. They will make reservations for attractions and transportation. The sites were gravel and somewhat level. 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.

Nice clean park, with ample room for big rigs. Huge laundry room by campground standards. Convenient location for our needs. We would stay here again if we come back to 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.

Nice park. Large spaces. Pitch 'n putt 3-hole golf course. I believe the advertised horse shoe pit has been retired, because we searched high and low and never found it. Nice lawns and picnic tables for each space. We had a big snafu with our reservations because of inadequately trained staff, but ultimately got things rectified. Cable TV and internet were both really strong. We enjoyed our stay. The only feedback I have is: I'd love to see them put in a playground for kids. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is clean and mostly quiet. It is near an air force base and planes fly over during the day, but not at night: at least while we were camped here. The laundry room is very clean with lots of machines in working order. The Wi-Fi is excellent. The office staff is very friendly. The site was plenty long enough for our 38' motor home and our tow vehicle. This is a very good place to camp while visiting the Fairbanks area. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Level gravel sites separated by swatches of grass provided easy access but not privacy. Utilities were good though the Wi-Fi was slow at times. AT&T phone and data reception were good; the latter provided faster internet service than the park’s Wi-Fi. Laundry and showers were clean. The price is based on the weekly rate. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is well laid out. There is a stream within the park. The laundry facilities are clean, with several washers and dryers. $2.00 for wash and $2.00 for dry. There is a convenience store and gas station on site. There are areas for washing your rig and your vehicle. They provide the water. The managers are very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate based on weekly rate for a FHU 50 amp pull through site. Roads and sites are gravel, sites are mostly in a large open area, but of good size and grass between the sites. Verizon cell coverage was good. Minimal traffic noise, and that is very intermittent street noise, not continuous freeway noise. Well maintained restrooms and showers. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here in a 45 foot Prevost. One of the few campgrounds in the area with 50 amp power that you can get into with a large, over 40 foot, motorhome without being concerned about sideswiping a spruce tree. Park needs to trim existing trees as branches droop and brush the top and sides of tall motorhomes. 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.

This is a very nice campground. It's off the main highway and about 8 miles to Fairbanks and about 7 miles to North Pole. The interior roads are gravel and well maintained as the whole campground seems to be. Showers and bathrooms are clean and there is no extra charge for using the showers. We had a pull-through site that was plenty long enough for our big rig and easy in and out. There is nice space between sites that is grassy. There are a some trees and the shade was welcome because it was hot while we were here. WiFi was excellent and we also could receive some TV stations by antenna. There was very little road noise. We would absolutely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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-through's and spacious. We stayed here a week. The cable TV and WiFi were both working well and we didn't experience any issue with either. It was quiet 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 here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park that offered cable TV so we could watch Nascar racing at Michigan. The roads are all gravel and had lots of pot holes in the roads. With water you couldn't tell how deep they were. Not good. Other than that, a nice park We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not sure of rate, we were part of a caravan. This is one of the better parks that we have stayed in. Good value with Wi-fi at site and CATV. Site was a nice pull through with grass between sites. Nice area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There were roomy sites, private shower rooms, and the Wi-Fi was rock solid. The camp is outside of town. We were near road, but after 10:00 we never heard any noise. They had an RV wash and convenience/gas/fuel store next door. They also can book trips for you. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground with friendly hosts. Spaces were a little cramped and the WiFi didn't work. Convenient to Fairbanks but not right in the hustle bustle of town. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed this campground. Many local area attractions nearby, and the people were most accommodating and friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.
