Dease River Crossing RV and Campground - Page 144

June 24, 2011 Update - The only other place we encountered where we could not camp was Dease River Crossing RV & Campground at Dease Lake, BC. The sign said it was closed but no further information. That would have been in the time frame of June 6-7 so perhaps they just were not opened for the season at that time. - Information courtesy of the Liebermans

Fairbanks Downtown Farmer's Market - Page 155

June 5, 2011 - Beginning this year Fairbanks will have a downtown farmer's market on Mondays from 4 to 8 PM at the Golden Heart Plaza. The Tanana Vally Farmer's Market on College Road continues on Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday.

Ice Park RV Campground - Page 159

June 5, 2011 - This summer the Ice Park will be moving to a new location off railroad property. That means the campground will be closed. No word yet on whether the new location will have a campground next year. Seems likely since the electrical network needed for the ice sculpture work works so well for RVs too.

Santaland RV Park, North Pole - Page 162

March 26, 2011 - This RV park is closing. See their website at http://www.santalandrv.com/ . - Information courtesy Bob and Dianna Lucchetti

Kenai RV Park, Kenai, Alaska - Page 265

July 8, 2011 Update - Directions say ". . . drive south of Main St . . . " should be "south ON Main St"
We are camped there now and we are the only campers in the park. They expect to fill by July 10. Price now $40/day plus tax. Judith and Kippy are very warm and friendly - Information courtesy Paul Goldberg

Spirit Lake Wilderness Resort, White Pass - Page 390

June 24, 2010 Reader Report - fyi, we had hoped to camp at Spirit Lake Wilderness Resort just north of Carcross but it was sold 3 weeks ago and we were told no camping! They are obviously doing some construction so it is not clear what changes are being made or whether it will be an rv campground in the future. Note that this is as of June 20, 2011. - Information courtesy of the Liebermans
