§ 02 — OVERVIEW
Mount Prindle Campground- The Mount Prindle Campground is one of two campgrounds located at either end of the Nome Creek Valley, on the southern edge of the White Mountains NRA. The campground’s 13 sites are situated among tall willow shrubs, below expansive alpine tundra meadows and Mount Prindle (5,286 feet), making it the ideal spot to begin a trip into the high country.
From here you can enjoy gold panning in Nome Creek or explore the nearby Quartz Creek Trail. Campgrounds are maintained during the summer season (June thru mid-September) and have hand pump non-potable water, trash cans, and outhouse-style toilets. Each campsite has a parking area, picnic tables, and fire rings. Firewood is not provided. The nearest RV dump station is in Fairbanks. Fees- $12 per night per site (sites 1-13) on a first come basis. Directions- To reach Nome Creek from Fairbanks, take the Steese Highway to mile 57 and follow the U.S. Creek Road for seven miles to the Nome Creek Road.
