Fairbanks / Chena River KOA Journey

3,000 miles of our trip this past August in Canada was with 15amps of power if we were lucky so it was a breath of fresh air arriving at this KOA with every site being full hookup most with 50amp, grass at every site, wifi for everyone to stream, 2 seperate huge dog parks and I heard they were moving the camp store to a larger location deeper in the park for 2026. I was very impressed for it being the Northern Most KOA. Don't even get me started on the northern lights! We will be back

We usually boondock all summer, but being so late in the season, we opted to enjoy hookups and clean hot showers! We are so greatful we chose to stay here! The new owner was very friendly and helpful and we can tell he takes pride in the campground! We appreciate the wonderful stay and will be back if we find ourselves around Fairbanks again.

Convenience to Fairbanks. Consistent services and cleanliness. Site backed into woods and was more private. I see they are now monetizing privacy levels which is smart. The showers are separate from the bathrooms but in same building. But the showers have no plug so after the shower if you want to sue a hair dryer you have to walk around the building to the bathrooms which is ok just need to plan for it. Having unisex showers individually has pros and cons. Privacy yes but if you need other things like an outlet or toilet not so convenient. There was a waste basket In the shower and I put the hair i removed from the drain there, but would have been nice to have something to grab it with like tissue paper. Plenty of hooks which is appreciated and a bench. The shelves in the shower stall were kinda small and narrow but held most of my products. Shower curtains had bears and moose which were fun. Bathrooms were also very clean and I thanked and complimented the cleaning woman on the cleanliness. She was working hard.

This was a great location for us to use as a base camp while seeing some of the areas and going up to the Arctic Circle. We had a deluxe patio site that was fantastic. They have a great playground for kids, several dog areas, games on the deck by the Chena River, and swings you can sit on and enjoy the river. Bathrooms were very clean. Showers were great too. I did several loads of laundry. They have plenty of washing machines and dryers. It is $4.00 to wash and $3.25 to dry. There is a gift shop and food items in the office. I love that they keep you informed as to when they are closing for lunch and a reminder before they close at night so you can get those last minute items you might need. The staff is amazing and so very nice. I loved chatting with them. This is the Northernmost KOA. Hopefully we will get to visit Alaska again and we will definitely stay here. Thanks for a great stay!!

The KOA is a very nice place to use as a base to explore Fairbanks. The sites are level and while close they are not cramped like other KOA campgrounds can be.

The restrooms and showers are clean and I really appreciate the effort it takes to keep them clean. Laundry facilities are clean, spacious and all of machines were working.

The grounds of the campground are very nice and the staff I encountered were very friendly which makes for a comfortable stay.
