Chicken, Alaska

Camping and RVing in Chicken, Alaska

Chicken is an eccentric, fun-loving little community that was founded by gold miners; and it still serves as the outpost for the 40 Mile mining district. RVers with a desire to learn about northern history and enjoy warm hospitality will enjoy stopping to visit this town, relaxing at a campground and learning about Chicken's gold rush background. The highway through town is open from spring to early fall.
