River’s Edge Resort RV Park

To Fairbanks (10 minutes’ drive) first, for days out at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum, Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center, and Pioneer Air Museum, and to step back to Gold Rush days with a visit to the Pioneer Museum & Big Stampede Show. If you’ve brought the kids, take a look at Fairbanks Children's Museum, admire the stunning ice sculptures at the Ice Museum and seeing steam trains in action at the Tanana Valley Railroad Museum. And then… out into the incredible Alaskan landscape for such things as river cruises, fishing, rafting, dog sledding, canoe paddling, ATV driving, hikes and flightseeing, all of which can be sorted in town or at the park. Running Reindeer Ranch, Alaska Songbird Institute and the Large Animal Research Station are all within a 15-minute drive if you’d like to get friendly with some local wildlife. Need to relax after all that? Take a soak in the warm, mineral-packed waters at Chena Hot Springs (an hour and 20 minutes’ drive), and see if you can get the tiddlers on best behaviour with a stop to meet the main man at Santa Claus House (25 minutes).
