BLM Arctic Circle Campground

What defines Arctic Circle Campground is its unmatched proximity to the Arctic Circle landmark, making it a compelling stopover for adventurous travelers on the rugged Dalton Highway. Here, you will find a combination of convenient facilities, easy accessibility, and an immersive natural setting that highlights Alaska's untamed beauty.

Perched about half a mile uphill from the iconic Arctic Circle sign, this Bureau of Land Management (BLM) campground offers 19 gravel sites equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, and ADA-compliant vault toilets. The campground is surrounded by a mixed forest providing intermittent privacy and tranquility. While the setting is rustic, thoughtful amenities like bear-proof garbage bins and accessible areas enhance comfort and safety. A quick visit to Fish Creek or nearby Bonanza Creek provides opportunities for anglers, while the Arctic Circle sign and scenic Kanuti Flats National Wildlife Refuge offer inspiring views and photo opportunities just a short drive away.

Located at Milepost 115 of the Dalton Highway, approximately 200 miles north of Fairbanks, the Arctic Circle Campground is ideally suited for day trips, weekend getaways, or as a rest stop for travelers heading further along the highway. With its blend of approachable features and remote wilderness charm, it delivers a quintessential Alaskan experience.
