    Pioneer Park

    convenient and low cost stay in Fairbanks

    We stayed here in a 40' 5th wheel. We parked in the west row along the trees. This was a good spot, but the sun goes behing the trees about 5 in summer, if you are looking for solar charging. We noted that the parking rules are pretty loose as to where you stay. If the RV spots are full, we saw several just pick a spot in the regular lot.  If you keep a clean area you may be able to stay more than 5 days, we did.  The water spigot is on the south side of lot near the turn in. The trash cans can get full quick.  The pay stand is on the north side of lot near the first entrance to Pioneer Park, by the small shack. No out of state checks. You can also pay in the office inside the park during business hours. 

      It can be noisy at times because of the close intersection. Some generators are LOUD and one guy ran his about 12 hours a day. I would think an extra battery would be cheaper than all that fuel. 

      It is a very busy place with the park and Alaska Bake activity. Lots of cars and the lot gets pretty full with that sometimes.

      Free dump and water fill at the Sourdough gas station located at Van Horn and Lathrop streets just a few miles south, with easy rig access. 

      We would stay again if we ever go back to Fairbanks.

    Camp in Fairbanks

    This is a great location, right in Fairbanks by the fairgrounds. Don’t book site 28 or 27 as you will end up camping in a parking lot. Also, the bathrooms are closed for the season so to take a shower, we had to walk through a dog show in the fairgrounds to get ourselves clean. Laundry is good!

    Convenient campground

    I was concerned when I first looked at reviews when I booked this campground. It seemed to be split 50/50. Some would stay here again and some wouldnt. The KOA resort people probably wouldn't. I feel like you get what you pay for here. It was super convenient to stores/restaurants in Fairbanks.

    The fairgrounds is right next door so I can see that when events take place it could be loud and bring in all sorts of people (could lead to people drinking and stealing). I saw some people mention airport noise with planes flying over, but I didn't notice the noise at all.

    It's a small campground so close to your neighbors but it's in a big town. You are still in the woods. They had firewood available to purchase, a dump station, electric hookups, laundry (cheap - $2 each machine) and showers/bathrooms aren't beautiful but the showers clean and I got a nice lot shower and I hadn't had a good shower in a while! Quick RV wash offs aren't the same as a nice long hot shower. I would stay here again, oh and spot was level :).

    Eclectic campground.

    Parked a 37 foot trailer in a 30 spot next to the office. Not a quiet campground but it isn’t bad. This was 50 amp spot for $45/night. Restroom/showers not modern but adequate.

    Great experience

    Campsite was clean and easily accessible. My kids enjoyed the park across the road and had mini golf and a Rhoades car available for use. Showers and bathroom and laundry nice and close. We were camping in a tent and although it was sunny the trees in the yard gave the perfect amount of shade.

    Riverside Park - Anderson City Campground

    Cute camping spot

    We stopped by before the season started but would go back in a heart beat. Small playground. Rustic campsites and RV sites. Bathrooms and showers. Hosts shooting weekends and bluegrass festival

    Pioneer Park

    Nice spot to crash for the night

    Visited in March 2022.

    Pioneer park is really just a parking lot. No bathrooms, electricity, or reservations.

    They keep it plowed in the winter so we stopped here for a night. There’s a McDonald’s literally a block away you can use for restrooms and morning coffee/breakfast:)

    Nice campground

    This is a small campground in town. The hosts are out standing and the shower house was very clean with a new shower mat provided for each shower. We did our laundry and refilled a propane tank while we were her. Nothing fancy just a nice place to stop and visit. The town is small but has a museum with a fun caretaker and is worth a stop. Overall I recommend this campground and given the opportunity I will stop here again.

    Pioneer Park

    Awesome park

    The camping is just a parking lot. It’s 12 bucks a night, which in Alaska in the summer in a city is cheap. The park is like an old time amusement park without rides. It is really cool though. There is a Salmon Bake restaurant that seems very popular. We stopped in for an adult refreshment and they are very dog friendly.

    Riverside Park - Anderson City Campground

    Unique

    This very Alaskan campground has lots of options. You can camp at the river bed or in some sites with hookups. When we went there in mid September it was deserted. There is a gun range. This campground is on a large parcel of land so what the backroads they get bumpy. RVs should stick to the main roads.
