Yukon River Camp

We stopped at Yukon River Camp during our tour to the Arctic Circle sign, and it was the perfect break along the way. This is the only food stop on the route, so it’s a must-stop—and honestly, it didn’t disappoint. The food was warm, filling, and exactly what you need after hours on the road. One of the highlights was the gas station covered in stickers from travelers all over the world—super cool and fun to look at while stretching your legs. It really adds character and shows how many adventurers have passed through. If you’re heading toward the Arctic Circle, Yukon River Camp is a necessary and memorable stop for food, fuel, and a unique roadside experience. Definitely worth it!

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!

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 have 5 stars because this location is middle of nowhere, a total wilderness near Arctic circle. Driving in winters is incredibly hard on this road but this place provides running water, toilets, heated rooms, wi-fi and hot food.

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
