If your looking for a overnight paved parking spot, this simple spot will do. No more than 6-7 level and paved spots. The sign posted said $15 a night. The sites were located to the west side of the Pioner Park main entrance in a area of the lot that gets very little traffic. You will some noise because it is near the intersection of two main roads ( Peger & Airport Way). The sites back up to a few pine trees. Behind the grouping of pine trees are where some buses are stored. If you are doing the Alaska Salmon Bake, that entrance is only 100' away. As far as I know ther is no Water or dump station here. Other options would include the state park ( Chena River Wayside $20 for dry, $30 for electric) about 3/4 of a mile due west or the WalMart 10 minutes NE of the park. Only reason I gave it two stars was it was a nice level paved spot with sites deep enough for large rigs. Cell service was very good ( Verizon).
