Chena Cove Campground

This is the dry camping area on Ft Wainwright…you must have some kind of DoD ID card to get on the installation. Pretty basic, there are pit toilets but potentially a long walk from your campsite. But sites are nicely spaced out and tucked into the trees. Potable water and a dump station are available at the Glass Park (Moose Loop and Denali Loop) RV park, close to the main gate. It’s about a five minute drive to that area, which also has showers and laundry facilities. $20/night, managed through the MWR outdoor recreation office.

Looking for a place to camp at 3 am tired driving 11 hrs, hotels full or overpriced. Googled campgrounds. Arrived to find it's on fort wainwright Tried to turn around before entrance. Got waved in to be questioned and id'ed for 15 minutes. Thank google.

Not a horrible place to go, but to be honest it's not worth the two our drive. I feel like the overall experience was Blehh. The ice house was cool, but they really pushed on ordering shots at the bar, which only accepted cash. Then there's the restaurant, which we waited about an hour to get a seat and then another hour for the food to arrive.

Warning: camp ground is located on an active military base, must be able to enter FT Wainwright to go here. (Not accessible to most people).

The Anderson review is inaccurate; his looks like it's for Chena Hot Springs. Chena Cove CG is on Ft Wainwright, on the Chena River. Pit Toilets, canoe put-in, small boat launch. Back-in camp spots.
