Ice Park Campground
Located in the heart of Fairbanks, Ice Park Campground is the summer venture of Ice Alaska Inc., a nonprofit arts center that hosts the International Ice Sculpting competition each winter. Sites are an average of 50 feet long, although some sites are 60 feet. Many sites have trees, and the black ice carving backdrops are left up year round for additional shade. Most sites offer 30 amp service.
A large meeting hall is used for activities. Free wireless Internet is available around the office, although the signal does not reach all of the sites. Free Internet computers are available for guest use. Restrooms are clean and free hot showers are included. A coin-operated laundry is provided in the main building. A used book library and exchange is in the meeting hall. Group van trips across the Arctic Circle are available on request.
Rates are significantly lower than those at most nearby RV parks. The park relies heavily on volunteers. If you are willing to help out around the park, your site rate will be discounted accordingly. Free meals might also be provided.
