Chicken Gold Camp and Outpost

The Chicken Gold Camp & Outpost, also known as Chicken RV Park or Chicken Creek Outpost, is just south of the Taylor Highway on Airport Road in the center of Chicken, Alaska. It's built on the site of a placer gold camp established in the 1930s by the industrious Fairbanks Exploration Company for prospecting and mining Chicken Creek with the Pedro Dredge, a bucket line gold dredge that is now a National Historic Site. Some of the historic gold camp and many of the gold mining relics are preserved in an outdoor museum and open to the public. Besides the RV park, the business also includes a restaurant, gift store, cabins, tours and recreational mining outings.
