This Bureau of Land Management campground sits along the Steese Highway in open terrain near a creek, with paid camping fees that vary by season or site type. The facility provides basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and trash service, with campfires and pets both permitted. Campers can access nearby options at Quartz Creek Trail just north of the site or Mount Prindle Campground about a mile northeast for additional overnight choices in the area.
Description
The Mount Prindle Campground is one of two campgrounds located at either end of the Nome Creek Valley, on the southern edge of the White Mountains NRA. The campground’s 13 sites, are situated among tall willow shrubs, below expansive alpine tundra meadows and Mount Prindle (5,286 feet), making it the ideal spot to begin a trip into the high country. From here you can enjoy gold panning in Nome Creek or explore the nearby Quartz Creek Trail.
Campgrounds are maintained during the summer season (June thru mid-September) and have hand pump wells, trash cans, and outhouse-style toilets. Each campsite has a parking area, picnic tables, and fire rings. Firewood is not provided. The nearest RV dump station is in Fairbanks.
