Best RV Parks & Resorts near Badger, AK
Several RV parks and campgrounds accommodate motorhomes in the Badger and North Pole areas. Fairbanks/Chena River KOA on Badger Road offers 150 full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp service operating from May 15 to September 15. The gravel pads include pull-through options with enough space for slide-outs. A camper noted, "We were assigned pull-through site 133D with full hookups and 50 AMP. The gravel pad was long enough for our 40' toy hauler and F450, with room to put down our rear patio." Rivers Edge RV Park provides riverfront RV spots with full hookups but tighter spacing between sites. Lazy Moose RV Park has 28 sites with full hookups including 30/50-amp service, operating May through September.
While premium riverfront locations command higher rates, most parks provide essential RV services. Dump stations are available at Rivers Edge, Fairbanks/Chena River KOA, and Chena Lake Recreation Area, with a free dump station reported at Sourdough gas station near Van Horn and Lathrop streets. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with one reviewer reporting single bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile at the KOA. Winter camping options are extremely limited, as most RV parks close after mid-September. Pet policies differ between properties - most private RV parks allow pets, while some recreation areas have restrictions. Pioneer Park offers limited overnight RV parking without hookups for travelers needing a convenient in-town option, though one visitor mentioned traffic noise from a nearby intersection.
