Der perfekte Zwischenstopp zwischen Fairbanks und Prudhoe Bay. Vielen Dank dass ich hier sein durfte! Der Dalton Highway gehört unbedingt zu einer Alaska Tour.

We stayed for two nights on our way to the Arctic Ocean and stayed two more nights on our way back. The campground was well kept, had free and dry firewood and the bathrooms were as clean as any we have seen. The configuration of each site is easy to maneuver any rig in and out. The hosts were very friendly and gave us some advise on our travels. We also had cell coverage, which was a bonus. I walked across the street and fished in the river. Thanks for offering such a nice BLM campground.
