We had a good stay here in our 40' toy hauler. The power, water, and cable worked good. The rate shown is the total bill for a weekly rate of$321 with taxes and fees added. Some things to note about the park. The whole park slopes downward toward the beach bluff, however they did a reasonable job terracing each site so it is mostly level. As a result each site uphill is 12 to 18 inches higher. The center sites are back to back and they will park your RV even with the electric box at rear, so you may have challenges parking your towed vehicle or tow vehicle at your site depending on your total length, but we managed ok. The lane between rows is narrow. If you"pull through" to your site through an empty one, it is easy. If you have to back in it may be a challenge and you may need to get people to move tow vehicles. Smaller motorhomes and short trailers may not have any issues. We had to have one person move a vehicle to pull out when we left. In fact we left a day early in the afternoon because I wanted to be sure I could get out. If all the guests had been in the park with the tow vehicles or towed park, I could not have pulled out early in the morning without waking people up to move vehicles. We camped at Ocean Shores RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here in a 40' 5th wheel. The RV area is mostly in the trees and a few places are defined, but a lot is just pick your spot and park where you can fit. The places along the water will need to be shorter rigs or you would need to park parallel. Close to town about 3/4 mile. Solar charging is a challenge due to trees and Starling also. You can run generators. No water or dump station, but there is a dumpster near the office.
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.
This is a nice campground for truck campers, small trailers, etc. If you have a long trailer or big rig only sies 18, 21, and 22 are very usable. These are in the large gravel area to the left just as you turn in. If you have a big rig or long trailer DO NOT go beyond this point. It will be very bad on you getting out.
Water hand pump available. Nice river nearby. beautiful valley with mountains all around.
CLOSED- there is a sign as you turn in that says no camping and no rv camping. It is a great spot but not available. this was July 2, 2024. There is a nice beaver dam on the river at back of gravel area.
I called DAVE at the listed number on June 14, 2024. he said he sold the property and it is closed.
