Off Chena Hot Springs Road, 27 miles northeast of Fairbanks, Rosehip Campground spreads across 27 sites beneath a canopy of birch trees. The campground operates from May 21 through September 15, accommodating RVs up to 26 feet alongside tent campers. Multiple access options include drive-in sites, walk-in spots, and boat-in access from the Chena River.
Birch forest provides natural separation between campsites, creating what Erica C. describes as "huge, private spots." A half-mile trail leads down to the Chena River for fishing and swimming access. Several connecting nature trails branch throughout the area, extending exploration opportunities beyond the immediate campground boundaries. Cell service remains spotty, and mosquitoes can be heavy during summer months.
Standard amenities include drinking water, restrooms, picnic tables, and trash service. Campfires are permitted, and the facility maintains ADA accessibility. The campground sits two miles from Chena Hot Springs Resort, making it a convenient base for hot springs visits. Sites rarely fill to capacity, maintaining an uncrowded atmosphere even during peak season. For dispersed camping options, Chena River State Recreation Area Dispersed near Rosehip Campground lies just over a mile east.
