Chicken Gold Camp

The small town of Chicken is an outpost in the wilderness alongside Chicken Creek with a handful of hearty souls savoring raw Alaska ... dog sledding... gold prospecting... ghosts of last century's Alaska gold rush, including Anne Purdy who wrote the acclaimed book "Tisha"... the Fortymile caribou herd... a float trip on the very historic and scenic 40Mile Wild & Scenic River... Arctic grayling fishing... fields of brilliant fireweed... wolves... the Northern Lights or Midnight Sun... a gold pan full of gold nuggets... take your pick, it's all here!. And it can easily be explored from your doorstep in this Alaska RV park, campground and cabins situated on a bench overlooking the Chicken Creek valley.

The community of Chicken, Alaska is situated on Chicken Creek in the Mosquito Fork valley, 66 miles north of the Alaska Highway by way of the Taylor Highway, and 108 miles southwest of Dawson City, Yukon by way of the Top of the World Highway. Both directions offer breath-taking vistas of millions of acres of wilderness. The "Chicken Gold Camp & Outpost", including the Chicken RV park and Campground, the Chicken Creek Outpost cafe and gift store, the Pedro Dredge, gold panning and prospecting, is located in the center of Chicken less than 1/4 mile off the Taylor Hwy, free from the highway dust and noise. Turn on Airport Road at mile 66.4 Taylor Hwy and take the 1st or 2nd LEFT.
