Twin Bears Camp is a state park facility located at milepost 30 on Chena Hot Springs Road, about 35 miles east of Fairbanks. It is on a small secluded lake in a rustic, woodland setting within the Chena River State Recreation Area.

With more than 250,000 acres of state recreation area surrounding the camp, recreation activities abound.

Reservation of the camp does not grant exclusive use for the whole facility. Access is allowed for the general public on the non-camp side of the lake; however, the renter can close the gate at their discretion which limits public access to foot traffic.

A five kilometer cross country ski trail is intermittently groomed when snow cover is adequate and the temperature is reasonable. Snow machines have easy access to the nearby Chena Hot Springs Winter Trail.

The camp borders a four acre lake which is used for many activities depending on the season: fishing, swimming, canoeing, ice skating or wild life observations (beaver, moose, and waterfowl).
