Tucked back from the commotion of the common areas, the shared bathrooms, showers, and kitchen are a stone's throw away. An extra bed (camping-style cot bed) can be added for $20. This cabin is dog friendly. The space Sven’s Basecamp Hostel is where adventurers in Alaska begin a journey, meet up after a trip, or take a much-needed rest. Mountaineers, amateur naturalist, wilderness guides, motorcyclist, and those looking to explore Alaska find friends and relaxation here like nowhere else in Fairbanks.

Here you also get all the info you need to find out where the good restaurants are, the places to visit, which hotspots not to miss, what trips to book or simply finding out what’s happening in Fairbanks.
