Departures, arrivals, rental car companies, and baggage claim are all located in this one building. Hell, there's only six gates, which should tell you enough. There's one coffee shop, one restaurant, and one gift shop. Fairly easy to get in and out of the airport as it's just one road, although it can be tough if it's snowy outside!

Tanana Valley is a nice little campground tucked into a patch of forest right off the road. As an…read moreout-of-town'er working in Fairbanks over the summer, I used their tenting sites to car-camp in my Toyota 4-Runner while waiting to move into my rental house. At $25 you can't beat it, especially considering the astronomical hotel prices in Fairbanks. To that end, the campground served it's purpose in my "just to get by" situation. Unfortunately the shower facilities were closed during my stay because they were being renovated. I wasn't happy to discover the closed-off showers & restrooms because it was't mentioned on the website. As a matter of fact, the website still touts the showers as an available amenity, and the reservation confirmation email includes the entry codes for the digital combination locks on the shower building doors. It wasn't until my attempts to get into the shower building when I learned that they were closed for renovation. (The combo code was no good). That irked me, but it was't a deal-breaker. I had access to showers at my work as well as a local gym, so I adapted and kept on camping. This probably won't be the situation for other campers though, so the campsite owners are leaving themselves wide-open for confrontations with rightly-infuriated customers. Don't worry about trying to use the Wi-FI. If you do happen to be in an area of the campsite where it actually connects to your device, it does little more than infuriate you with an unusable snail's pace. Then it kicks you off and tells you that you have the wrong password. Then the password magically works again just long enough to disappoint you with its slow uselessness. But hey. It's a campground. Don't get on the internet. Build a campfire and swat mosquitos like mother nature intended. The main area of the campground, (mostly RV sites and a few tent sites), is clean and quiet. The double-letter tenting sites are in a separate section, much closer to the road. I skipped around the different tenting sites from evening to evening just to check things out. I prefer the single-letter sites that are in the main campground area, but the double-letter sites aren't too bad either. They all served their purpose of giving me a quiet place to park so I could get a good night's sleep. If the place had been much more than $25 for a tent site, I doubt I would have stayed there very long.

We love hanging out by the river and enjoying watching the ducks float by. The spaces give us plenty of room to enjoy our stay. The staff are friendly and helpful and you can tell how much they truly care about the property. The bathrooms/ showers are always clean, the laundry mat is as well. Our family is in North Pole but we prefer to stay at Rivers Edge in spite of there being other parks closer. We did eat at Chena's Alaskan Grill this past may. They had changed to only having a buffet. It was a tad expensive for my taste but the food was very good and the service was too. The Rivers Edge Rv park is our home away from home while visiting Fairbanks.

I stayed here after my husband recently passed away while I was trying to figure out where I was…read moregoing to live. I paid $1,600 upfront for one month and explained my situation to the office staff, including that I would probably be extending for an additional 2-3 weeks. I was hoping for a little compassion and understanding during a very difficult time, but that was not my experience. Once I parked, I realized the sites were very small and cramped, with the picnic table sitting right by the sewage line. There was very little room between campers, and it was not what I expected. Also the WiFi was very slow and almost none existent. I was told the overflow parking could be used for guests or an extra vehicle, so I had a friend park there when she visited. I was never told she needed to check in at the office first or that there would be a fee. Over the Fourth of July weekend, my friend parked in the overflow lot and, within minutes, two office employees came over and rudely told her she could not park there because the park was "full." In reality, there were around 20 overflow spaces and only one vehicle parked there all day. The next day, I went into the office to ask where a guest could park if they were picking me up. I was told there was a $10-per-day parking fee, but that I would not be charged because I was staying long term. I had no problem paying, but that had never been mentioned when I checked in. I was also told my friend's vehicle had been trespassed from the property for parking there a few days earlier. My friend was never contacted by police or notified and only found out when she returned to visit. She had to park outside the park and walk in. I only had company over five times total, and they never stayed more than an hour. The staff's communication was inconsistent, and the rules seemed to change as they went. I felt singled out and harassed throughout my stay. At that point, I had been planning to extend for another month, but I decided not to. The day before I checked out, my son stopped by for about five minutes to load my barbecue into his truck. Despite the park being nearly empty and check-in not starting until 4 p.m., staff were knocking on my door and questioning us almost immediately. This was one of the hardest times in my life, and I expected professionalism and kindness. Instead, I experienced rude treatment, confusing policies, and constant harassment. I would not stay here again or recommend this park.

A couple of days ago while traveling in Alaska, we were driving a rental car on a snowy highway…read more Because of heavy snow and a sharp turn, our car slid off the road into a ditch and narrowly missed a utility pole. It was a frightening moment, especially since we were traveling with children. Golden North Inn happened to be located right in front of where our car came to a stop. Although we did not have a reservation, we went inside to ask for help. The reception staff showed us incredible kindness and compassion. They immediately offered assistance, provided us with a snow shovel, and allowed my children to use their restroom to warm up and regroup. In a stressful and vulnerable moment, their help truly meant more to us than words can express. Even though we were not guests, they treated us with genuine care and humanity. I wanted to leave this review simply to express my sincere gratitude and to recognize their willingness to help others. I would highly recommend Golden North Inn to fellow travelers--not only for their service, but for the kindness and heart they show when it truly matters.
