In a nutshell
I have traveled all over Alaska and chose North Pole as my home.

Have a wonderful campground almost to yourself
Oatlad Says: If you want to camp after Labor Day but before Haloween, Chena Lakes campground is wonderful. Generally, there is no one else camping there, or at least you can get out of sight of anyone else that is there. There is great fishing on both the lake and river and the whole...
Drive further on to Birch Lake
Aurora907 Says: Around 48 miles down the Richardson Highway, to mile marker 305.2, is a military recreation camp called Birch Lake. If you are active or retired military, check it out. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout, king and silver salmon, grayling, and arctic char.

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus...
