The camp is home to Sue's bed and breakfast in the wilderness, away from technology and the outside world. The nearest Starbucks is miles away, but Sue told Monsters & Critics that she has plenty of coffee makers and even an espresso machine. Still, staying at Kavik River Camp is about being fully immersed in nature.

Sue explained to Radio Times that hunters visit the camp, but so do people looking for a break from the rest of the world.

"Hunters do come up during the month of August but that leaves 11 other months," she said. "I call it a twisted bed and breakfast. I don't care why you want to be in the Arctic. I will cook you breakfast, drink single malt with you, and tell you stories."

There is the occasional 80-degree day, but that's uncommon for Fairbanks and where the Kavik River Camp is located. In other words, don't go to Kavik River Camp unless you have a good parka.

Sue also said she gets "at least a little bit" of snow "every month of the year." If you're looking for an outdoor experience like no other, then staying at the Kavik River Camp sounds like it could be pretty life-changing. And if you're willing to shell out around $350 per night, then pack your bags, but make sure you leave the flip flops at home. Even in July.
