About This Location
Located at Dalton Highway milepost 60, Five Mile Campground offers primitive, year-round camping in the heart of Alaska's rugged wilderness.
Situated at milepost 60 of the iconic Dalton Highway, Five Mile Campground serves as a vital stop for adventurers traversing the Alaskan interior. Recently improved in 2022, this BLM-managed site provides a straightforward, primitive basecamp for those looking to experience the vast, untamed beauty of the region. The campground is situated at an elevation of 442 feet, surrounded by the dramatic, expansive terrain characteristic of the Yukon River area.
The facility features seven gravel campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring for evening campfires under the midnight sun. Essential amenities include a vault toilet and access to an artesian well for potable water. While the site previously offered a dedicated RV dump station, please note that this feature is currently unavailable due to maintenance issues. A campground host is typically on-site from late May through early September to assist visitors.
This campground is best suited for self-sufficient RV travelers and tent campers who are well-prepared for remote, off-grid conditions. Given its location on the Dalton Highway, it is an ideal rest point for those seeking a rugged, authentic Alaskan outdoor experience.
