Yukon River Camp

A very good place to stop when traveling along the Dalton Highway. Tasty burgers! :) I stayed there overnight — they have cozy rooms with two beds. Nothing extraordinary, but out in the Alaskan wilderness it feels like luxury. The price is quite high for such conditions, but on the other hand, it’s understandable — it’s expensive to run a business in such a remote area. I was quite surprised to see table tennis and a pool table there||Refueling there is quite an experience. First, you leave your credit card at the bar, then you get a key to unlock the gas pump. When you’re done, you take a picture of the amount you spent and go back to the bar to show it. It really shows there’s a strong sense of trust in people — and I hope it stays that way forever.||I spoke with a guy there, and we both agreed that we never want to see a Hilton hotel anywhere nearby.

I was expecting crappy food and crappy service, the kind you find in a captive market where you have nowhere else to go. I was completely wrong! All the staff were super friendly and helpful. I had a burger and it was delicious! Everything was fresh and well prepared. the restaurant is clean and well kept. The restrooms were a welcome sight. I recommend that you stop, say hello, have a bite and a break! No, I'm not a local, I was just passing through and want to give credit where credit is due!

This was our first trip to Alaska and we were driving up to Coldfoot for the day. We stopped to top off our gas and get a soft drink, and use the bathroom. The staff was so nice. He told us we could bring our soda mugs in to fill them up. The bathrooms were so clean. There is a small gift shop. On our way back to Fairbanks, we decided to stop in for dinner. We both had cheeseburgers that were delicious. The zucchini fries were so good!! Again, the staff was great when we came back through. The dining area is very clean. This is such a great stop and a great break after driving the Dalton Highway.

My wife and I, stopped for both lunch and dinner,at Yukon River Camp, Thursday September 11 th, on our excursion to the Arctic Circle, with Northern Alaska Tour Company. The camp is an oasis on the Dalton Highway! Both lunch and dinner were good. The chili and their burger are both very good. It is a clean and comforting break on the Haul Road!!!

I was so surprise the food was great. We stopped there for dinner on the way back from a day trip to the Artic circle. Grest hamburgers abx the cob salad was the best. Staff was friendly too.

Wasn’t impressed. Was on tour with Northern Alaska Tour to Arctic Circle. Was to be able to order lunch. Camp was changing over menu so food wasn’t available, charged $3 for hot water, 3 of 5 stalls in women’s restroom out of order. October 2025

Given that this is, as far as I can tell, the only stop between Fairbanks and the Arctic Circle that serves food, the dinner was delicious and the prices surprisingly reasonable. And the employees were very friendly. We also enjoyed strolling down to the bank of the Yukon River.

just a stop along the Dalton Highway to Artic Circle. Brought food so did not buy any but very clean, bathrooms as well. Small gift shop also. Couldn't believe to run into someone with connections to home state in towns close to me. Katherine was a pleasure to chat with
