Borealis Basecamp

Welcome to Borealis Basecamp based in Fairbanks.

Experience the beauty of the Alaskan outdoors…from inside. Located just north of Fairbanks, the Borealis Basecamp is the perfect Arctic getaway, offering rugged landscapes, first class accommodations and heartfelt Alaskan service, all with the Northern Lights overhead.

Founded by one man who decided he wanted to share Alaska’s unforgettable scenery, people and adventures with the rest of the world, the camp is miles away from a single light or other person — a place surrounded completely by nature. The basecamp’s transparent ceilinged domes are located on a north facing ridge crest at an altitude of about 1,200. The ceilings wrap around you, blending the outside and inside together, while a sixteen-foot curved window placed directly overhead provides east to north horizon sky visibility.

Guests can lay back in bed and be entranced by the dancing northern lights before drifting off to sleep in a luxurious, cozy bed. The domes provide a surprisingly spacious interior, with a kitchenette and full bath located inside, as well as high-level amenities. Guests can enjoy local flavors with a European twist at the locally crafted thirty-foot round yurt on the basecamp. Beyond the amazing food and views, visitors can also enjoy photography, mushing, and snow machine rentals.
