About Marion Creek Campground

Tucked along Alaska's legendary Dalton Highway at Milepost 180, Marion Creek Campground serves as a welcoming roadside haven just five miles north of Coldfoot. This developed campground combines essential amenities—including hand-pumped potable water, versatile pull-through sites, and dedicated tent camping areas—with the warmth of an on-site host who greets travelers from late May through early September.

Provides tent-only sites and pull-through sites (pull-through sites noted in facility description).

Natural Features and SceneryMarion Creek flows through this pristine setting, its waters telling stories of the Brooks Range that looms in the distance. Positioned in the transition zone between boreal forest and Arctic tundra, the campground sits at a crossroads of ecosystems where spruce trees gradually yield to open landscapes. The location five miles north of Coldfoot places you deep in the heart of Alaska's Interior, where wildlife sightings are common and the sense of true wilderness is palpable in every direction you look.
