Delta State Recreational Site is a popular campground for those traveling between Tok and Fairbanks. This campground gives visitors a wilderness feel, but keeps them conveniently close to town for events or shopping. There are stores, commercial showers and other services nearby. Delta State Recreation Site has 25 developed campsites, a picnic area, a covered picnic shelter, water and toilets.
A city airstrip next to the site allows for fly-in camping.
Directly across the highway from the recreation site lies the Delta River. This allows for some spectacular views of the Alaska Range beyond. On a clear day one of the tallest mountains of the Alaska Range, Mt. Hayes with an elevation of 13,832 feet, can be viewed from the park. Because of their high elevation, Mt. Hayes and five other mountains, that can be seen from the park, remain snow covered year round.
Delta SRS is currently under private management and is not maintained by the State of Alaska.
$15 / night

Breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding area. The campsite might be basic but it's well worth it. It also has picnic tables, a tiny beach, a beach volleyball court, and a sandpit for the little ones.
TravelerHas great trails, RV and tent camping. 16 sites in wooded circle( 4 double sites) plenty of sites in gravel lot by water. Boat rental on site plus GREAT fishing!! Also by beach there’s volleyball, tetherball and sand box!!
Traveler
24 sites some big enough for RV some tucked away for cozy tent. Has faucet’s for running water.

Half-way between Delta Junction and Glenallen, the road to this vast boondocking area forks off the Richardson Hwy just south of Isabell Pass. The road goes north from the pavement, and will lead about 2 miles of very rough, 2-wheel drive, dirt. Go Slow! After 2 miles the road becomes rougher and demands higher clearance and 4-wheel drive. Along the way, you’ll see side roads leading to large, level parking areas on either side of the main road. Keep an eye out for metal objects as this area was a pipeline construction management area and has been used for many things ever since. Note: We attended the annual "RVing to Alaska" boondocking rally on this site.
There is a small creek winding through the valley to the east where we easily found wild water for washing or filtering that wasn’t too full of glacial silt. The creek to the west was much larger but was very silty. This is dispersed camping, so there are no toilets, nor any electrical or water hook ups to speak of, so come with plenty of food and your solar powered system. Even on rainy days in July we still managed to top up our small solar powered system -- there’s just so much daylight during the summer.
Hiking, biking or ATVing in the area is dealer’s choice (pick a destination, head toward it) and there are a multitude of two-track trails and places to explore. One cool hike went up to the toe of the Gulkana Glacier– follow the two-tracks upstream until you find a swinging bridge over the river, cross and keep making your way toward the glacier.
Services and stores are either in Delta Junction, around 65 miles to the north, or Glenallen, around 90 miles to the south. For those with larger gas tank capacity continue to the Denali Hwy and continue your gravel road adventures.

We stopped here on our way down to glennallen. It was very average had good clean bathrooms and picnic tables with fire pits. It was a nice spot but nothing out of the ordinary.
Guide
12 sites, 11 miles off the main highway and next to a beautiful, crystal clear creek. Hand water pump, no hookups available. Only two other people in the campground on a Friday night. Bathrooms were not maintained well during our visit.
RangerGreat spot to rest. The night before a storm came through and gave a fresh layer of snow of the mountains. Highly recommend site 8, or the unmarked sites towards the end. Warning, entrance has a lot of pot holes. Decent cell service.
RangerAfter camping on the Denali highway this campground was a breath of fresh air. Not many campers, sites spaced well. Due to bears no trash cans. Seems to be busy for day use/hunting jump off/parking vehicles.
ScoutDuring the week, it is very quiet. Weekends and holidays it can be crowded. Military recreation area just down the road. Over half the lake is privately owned.
Traveler
Nice campground overall, unfortunately not much to do around campground.
Scout
The cabins were immaculate, the restaurant and the lady serving were wonderful. I would recommend this to everyone
RangerOne thing I loved most of Alaska was this gem in beautiful location and great service
RangerThe name says it all, clearest bluest water I’ve seen in a long time.. the only thing was I missed Florida because of it
RangerWell if it wasn’t for the beautiful scenery at this locations I would’ve been able to make it through basic training.
RangerThe recreation site here hands down amazing the facilities are top notch above the rest.
RangerSo me and the pup had to stop for a few minutes before getting on the road again, however I had a chance to read the story board about the history of the delta, well it’s some you should definitely read about .
RangerTotally enjoyed the scenery herealso the breakfast, this place has the best huevos rancheros north of Texas,
RangerOne thing about this place reminded me of Bruce Campbell in army of darkness and evil dead.. gawd I love that movie..
RangerSuch a great bnb my pup and I had to stop after that other location, just too much beauty that words
RangerLoved the installation of the post there so many great people in the area
RangerOne of things I loved about this place was my dog loved playing around the grassy side of the trailer
LegendThis was a small campsite well situated on the highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks. About half full in late August and quite buggy.
Legend
We did come here in very late August and the Lost lake campground had only one camper. If you can get spot 10 followed by spot 11 then this campground is worth it. The other spots were not as nice and done had pools of water in them.
The lake was beautiful.
Ranger
This was a parking lot style camping with 17 parking spots. There are a few walk-in tent sites on site as well. If you are military there are quite a few options for cabins and more sites but you need permission to enter. There were picnic tables, fire pits, a dock, and shared grassy area for this campground. There’s a rental place near by for water toys which makes a great day on the water for kids. I would choose this place to swim over Harding Lake this summer due to high waters at Harding. The mosquitoes were bearable but be prepared for back to back camping and zero privacy. The lake is stocked with fish and you can see plenty swimming around as soon as you look in the water. Bathrooms on site. Make sure to bring your own firewood. Passing the Air Force base on your way to the campground is so cool if you get to see a take off on your way!
LegendSituated just down the road from quartz Lake State Recreation Campground Little Lost Lake Campground at Mile 2.1 has 12 pull in or back in campsites with picnic tables and fire pits. A large parking area, toilets, litter bins, and boat dock. The lake has Arctic char rainbow trout and some salmon stocke for fishing. A trail connects Little Lost Lake and Quarts Lake camping areas so you have access to both lakes. Not to be outdone by its bigger brother at Quartz Lake, Little Lost Lake campground is a gem of its own.
LegendWonderful surprise right on the lake. Camp host, 16 great sites situated next to Quartz Lake, with a walking trail down to Little Lost lake which has it's own campground. Lots of dual sites great for those who camp with friends. Only downside was the overnight lot was extremely uneven. $15 a night. Scenic overlook hike 1.7 miles one way for those who want to stretch their legs.
Legend12 pretty tree filled sites, tables, firepits, $15 a night. The road through is full of pot holes but don't let it deter you, it just requires a little navigation. Nice space between sites for quiet and privacy. Restrooms, bear proof trash. One public use cabin. A great place to get away for quiet to reconnect and think.
