It si what it is! A parking lot, with angle parking, first come first serve, with no amenities…but incredibly close to “everything” you need in Fairbanks. We paid 12$US/night, stayed to refresh/replenish after Denali, and would stay again for it offers. Maybe a bit noisy, but nothing a good earplug will not do!

We drove around the parking lot to check it out.. seems like you can park in far part past the fish bake place.. there is a post midway with info..
the fresh water is on the street side of lot on the right when coming from fish bake end.. it was open and looked to be working.
like anyplace around town.. Walmart etc. there is traffic noise more form the motorcycle, hotrod cars and truck and loud music as its light wayyyy late this time of year..
Would suspect all the cell carriers especially ATT and Verizon are good.. T-mobile roams on ATT so there is that but service is good for the 5 gig you get roaming.
We use a Cricket hotspot and that uses ATT and was good.. speeds were 5-9 gigs down.
Airport fuel down the road was best price for diesel around.. gasbuddy..

There is a post by the salmon bake entrance to register & pay (cash only)
We stayed on opposite end of lot away from salmon bake, less vehicles & fewer busses dropping off & picking up.
Clean safe spot & the park has lots of free stuff to see & some paid attractions.
We will definitely stay here again if in the area.

Welcome to Fairbanks Dragstrip. Cars,Trucks and Motorcycles all floor it to the next stoplight along airport way. That being said it does quiet down late. The park has a nice collection of museums. I stayed 5 nights.

We were happy to have a place for overnight that we could also fill up with good tasting potable water at. The usual noise of a parking lot in a town was the downside. Things did quiet down about midnight on a Sunday night mid-June when we stayed. We had shade from trees most of the night parking in the west RV sites. We had been very unimpressed with a more expensive option in town and didn’t mind the $12 fee for a monitored lot option that honestly felt safer!

Pulled in to finally find the potable water spigot on the Airport Road frontage of the parking lot and it had a closed due to construction sign on it. Didn't see any construction though. We went down the road to the Chena Site.

this is essentially a parking lot with an area set aside for RVs, but there is a water spigot to use when its turned on. I believe its about Memorial Day that you start to pay $12, i was told if the water is not on its free. When you need to pay, there is a box set up with envelopes and a place to put your payment.

The road noise is a problem at times as it seems there are people racing their engines on the surrounding streets at all hours.
Its next to the Alaska Salmon bake at Pioneer park which had a special preseason bake starting Mothers Day for that whole week. For $17.99 you got a choice of main meal, soft drinks, salad, coffee and dessert. Easy access off the main road, was easy to find, and had great ATT reception. Pioneer park was not officially open, but it was accessible for walking and there were a lot of families picnicing on a Sunday in the nice weather. The museum was open as well, I think aircraft.

There is designated pull-through RV parking in the parking lot of Pioneer Park, a city park in Fairbanks filled with historic buildings and attractions. The sites are side by side but big enough for slides to come out, and long enough for towing vehicles/toads. There are tall trees just west of the RV parking area, meaning there is afternoon shade.
While there are no hookups at this $12/night park (stay limit of 5 days), there is potable water on site, and we headed down the road to the dump station at the Sourdough gas station.
It can be a little tricky to get into the parking lot, but even we made the turn with a 36' 5th wheel towed by a long-bed, crew-cab pickup. The address is on Airport Way, but you have to actually enter the parking lot from Bartlett Avenue from the east. My advice is to check it out on satellite view first.
Pioneer Park itself is very cute with historic buildings that house shops, restaurants and museums. There's mini golf and access to the Chena River, too. It's free to access the park, which is more of a historic city park than a theme park, so it makes a great place to take a walk, people watch and see the sights.
