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.

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.
Traveler
Nice campground overall, unfortunately not much to do around campground.

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 .
RangerSuch a great bnb my pup and I had to stop after that other location, just too much beauty that words
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.
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.
Legend
Right outside Delta Junction this campground has a great day use area with multiple picnic tables and grills. A small picnic pavillion also adds to the day use appeal. Quiet sites with enough separation of peace and privacy. Firewood for sale $8 a bundle or 2 for $16. Close too all the Delta history and a great little stop off campground.
LegendThis weekend led us north up to Delta Junction. We'd originally booked a campsite at Clearwater Lodge but changed our minds and chose to stay at Clearwater State Recreation site after doing a drive-thru. 16 sites with two pull throughs, toilets, tables, water pump, and boat launch, all along the Clearwater Creek perfect for fishing grayling. Right next door to the Clearwater Lodge which has a wonderful outside deck a bar and awesome food for if you're not in the mood to cook after a day of fishing. $15 a night for camping and $10 for the boat launch, or $5 for day parking.
GuideWe really loved it here! This was our second time to the campground. The first time was on a weekend and every single spot was full. This time we arrived on a weekday and it made a world of difference - there were only a few other people around! The campsites were huge (see photo) and there was a lot of privacy between spots. The lake is lovely and there is a rental place that you just have to call and they’ll be there promptly. The bathrooms were also very clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back
GuideWe ended up here Memorial Day weekend because the other sites around Delta were full, but boy am I glad we made it. The campsites are large enough for multiple tents, have fire rings, and most have picnic tables. The bathrooms are also well maintained and the spots spaced out enough so you’re not right on top of your neighbors. What really makes the campground, though, are two things: Number one, NO BUGS! We saw maybe 5 mosquitoes over two days (which is unheard of in interior Alaska), and number two, THE VIEWS! Behind most of the sites is access to Donnelly Creek and boy oh boy the views of the Alaska Range are magnificent. We had a beautiful walk along the path and while it was windy, it was a beautiful day. The only negative is the amount of traffic in the highway nearby because of the proximity to the pipeline, but it’s not something that will keep us away.
RangerConvenient location near Delta Junction. Excellent camping spots with jaw dropping views on clear days. The Alaska Range is breathtaking. Bathrooms well maintained. Great place stay a night or two and if you’re lucky to enjoy the Northern Lights.
GuideReserve early summer and winter books up quick. Lots to do and great hosts
