About

Recreation: The Coldfoot Cabin offers visitors a road-accessible getaway during fall, winter and spring. This cabin is a great way to experience the far north outside of summer months. This is a primitive cabin with no electricity or running water. Popular activities include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, wildlife viewing, and aurora viewing throughout the winter months. Hiking is possible in the fall, before the snow is too deep. Commercial dogsled and backcountry ski tours are available in the area.  Firewood is not provided, and there is no cutting in the nearby area. The cabin driveway is plowed and shoveled approximately every three weeks throughout the winter, so access could be difficult after heavy snowfall. Directions : From the city of Fairbanks, Alaska, travel north a total of 84 miles on the Steese (AK-6) and Elliott (AK-2) Highways to the Dalton Highway Junction. Turn right onto the Dalton (AK-11) and continue to milepost 175. Turn left (west of the highway) into the parking area. The Coldfoot Cabin is located on Airport road in Coldfoot. This location is unstaffed. To speak with our main office for general information, please call: (907) 474-2200.Coldfoot Camp offers food, gas station and limited vehicle repair services. The cabins are surrounded by vast amounts of public land you can venture on to and view the scenery around the area. The Coldfoot Contact Station is open on a limited basis in the winter and provides brochures, information and programs on northern Alaska.

Availability at Coldfoot Cabin

CampFinder checks Recreation.gov every 30 minutes, around the clock, and emails you when a booked-up night opens back up. That catches most cancellations, which sit open for hours; at the few campgrounds that refill in seconds it can miss the race. Set up a free availability alert for Coldfoot Cabin.
