Along the remote Dalton Highway in Alaska's interior, Coldfoot Camp provides free camping with full hookups in an open terrain setting. This privately managed campground includes electric and water connections for RVs, plus drinking water, restrooms, showers, and trash service. Both drive-in and walk-in sites accommodate different camping styles.
The facility accepts reservations and allows alcohol on-site. Campers can access nearby options including Marion Creek Campground — Dalton Highway just north along the highway corridor.
Description
Camping with your own tent and gear is free of charge. Just ask a host for tips on where to set up camp once you get here.
Limited RV hookups are available for $49 per night. We provide power and water, but no sewage, cable, or internet.
Located near the famously beautiful Gates of the Arctic National Park and Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Coldfoot Camp provides easy access for adventure and play in the surrounding Brooks Range wilderness.
Coldfoot’s prime location at Mile 175 on the Dalton Highway serves as a natural base for summer flightseeing, hiking, rafting, fishing, and exploring.
In the colder months, there’s world-class aurora viewing, dog mushing adventures, and a chance to take a scenic backcountry snowshoe tour with a local guide.
Guests range from travelers exploring the region, to workers staying in camp while on a remote job, to truckers seeking coffee and a rest break. A unique mix of personalities brings a great energy to a secluded area.
Coldfoot Camp is open year-round and features a cafe, rustic (but clean) overnight accommodations, tour services, fuel, and minor tire repairs.
