Impressive Dancing Lights - The Northern Lights were very impressive how they danced across the night all night. Our host took pictures of our family with the Northern Lights as the back drop which was so kind and at the end sent us all the pictures they took through out the night of us and the many different pictures of the many different incredible sightings we had throughout the evening of the amazing sky we witnessed in September 2024. It was a really special bonus. The cabin was wonderful to come back into to warm up in and grab free snacks and hot cocoa in between looking at the beautiful sightings of beautiful Aurora’s. It was absolutely the perfect way to see such an amazing site.

10 out 10!! - Joy and David were very knowledgeable and hospitable. There were board games to play, as well as snacks and refreshments to enjoy while waiting for the Auroras to become visible. 10 out 10 and will definitely book again when I return to Fairbanks.

Great spot to aurora hunt - We unfortunately missed the lights by a couple of nights, but the hosts and location was great. It's awesome to be able to watch from inside or outside, and the cabin was very cozy with great amenities. Will try again!

Bucket List Adventure - Seeing the Aurora was a bucket list item for my husband. The weather was not cooperating with us. We had one night in Fairbanks. There was a mix up with our trip. Joy and the Tripadviser staff were very helpful in making it possible for us to do this. David picked us up at our hotel and took us up to Moose Mt. It was an amazing night. It was made possible by all the people involved in getting us up to the mountain. Thank you

Aurora Csmp Northern Light Tour - We had an outstanding time at Aurora Camp. We went twice. The first time, there was too much cloud cover so we did not see the northern lights. But the second time! Oh my! By being patient, we were successful and saw the northern lights. It was well worth the wait! David and Joy were wonderful hosts the cabin was warm! You could see the lights from inside the cabin and outside. Joy and David provided us with lots of snacks, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. I highly recommend doing the Aurora Csmp tour!
