About Arctic Overland

Out here in the wide, untamed beauty of Alaska, Steph and Mike built a life rooted in movement, resilience, and a shared love of adventure. From long summer rides under endless daylight to winter drives across frozen landscapes, they’ve always believed the best stories begin where the road gets rough. That spirit became Arctic Overland—more than a business, it’s an invitation. Their fleet of rugged, thoughtfully equipped vehicles is designed for travelers who want to experience Alaska beyond the guidebooks. Whether it’s chasing the northern lights, navigating remote roads and locations, every rental is a gateway to something real. Steph brings the eye for detail and storytelling; Mike brings the mechanical grit and deep knowledge of the land. Together, they’ve created something honest and dependable—built on trust, experience, and a belief that adventure should be accessible. Arctic Overland isn’t just about getting there. It’s about how it feels along the way.

We loved using Blue too, it was the perfect rig for our 10 day trip all over the state.
We did some boondocking, plugged in a few places, and overall it was great.
They provided everything we needed in the camper, we stayed warm, cooked food, sat around fires, and would definitely rent this again.

Working with the hosts was great- very responsive to messages and flexible when we ran into some flight delays. They have suggestions on itineraries and have everything you need included with the camper - camp chairs/table, cooking stuff, towels, campfire supplies, and more. That was great! We literally had everything we needed except for one small cooler we borrowed from a friend so our six pack would be ice cold. To my surprise, we needed the heater a couple of times overnight so that was a pretty great thing to have.Driving this camper was also no problem (admittedly, my husband did all the driving), but after a little time getting used to such a large truck, he said it wasn't a big deal. It ran like a champ and we never had any concerns despite its age. Having a large gas tank is really nice too. Being unrestricted from gravel roads gave us endless options. We ended up taking it on the Denali Hwy and were able to camp along the way which was an amazing experience. We didn't go far off the main road, but did take a wrong turn that was very rough but it wasn't really a concern. The biggest challenge we had was going in reverse or turning around (not a limitation of the camper of course, but just a learning curve thing). Setup and takedown is super easy and the "pop-up" nature of it probably makes it easier to handle than other camper trucks. We liked that low profile b/c we never had to worry about being too tall. It also has cassette toilet which looked fine although we opted not to use it - BLM sites have great facilities and in-between we just did as campers do.It is an older camper and we had a few issues with the camper itself, the major one being that the fridge didn't work well, but that wasn't really an issue until it got hot while we were in Fairbanks. If we had known, a larger cooler and some ice would've been all that was needed and it would've been totally fine. But this would definitely not deter me from renting it again and is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

I can't thank Mike and Stephine enough for turning my Alaska trip into an unforgettable adventure. From the planning stage to the journey itself, they offered invaluable suggestions for exploring Alaska within my timeframe.I embarked on a road trip starting from Fairbanks, driving down Richardson Highway, and camped at some beautiful spots. Tangle Lake at Paxton was a highlight! Then it was off to Valdez, where I caught a ferry to Whittier. Along the way, I had the opportunity to explore Kenai Fjords National Park in Seward. I even made a pit stop in Anchorage to hang out with a fellow traveler I met. And of course, the majestic Denali National Park was an absolute highlight. As my trip wound down, I soaked in the stunning fall foliage up Steese Highway.

Camper was very comfortable for two people. Truck worked great on the long drives. Hosts were responsive and accommodating. I’d make sure to get a walk-thru on how the hot water works though. Took us awhile to figure that out.

Arctic Overland did help us in a great way when we had issues in the middle of nowhere. The camper truck is equipped with everything it needs to have a good time exploring the less crowded places of Alaska and very robust and sturdy - exactly right for the Dalton road.

5 stars just isn't enough!! Blue2 was home for 10 days on our Alaska adventure. This set up was perfect for our trip. We traveled from Fairbanks to Valdez, then on to Homer. Back up through the Denali Hwy to Delta Junction. We had to most amazing trip and Blue2 took us there so smoothly. It's such a comfort bed, very clean camper and cab. She really became our family, most definitely home at night. Mike and Steph were there if we needed them. And Steph had some great suggestions on place to go and do. But, Blue2 did her job and was PERFECT!

Blue is the best!!! We are so happy we found this website and these hosts. Mike and
Steph were thorough, helpful, responsive, and nice. They spent a good amount of time with us running thru systems as well as tips on driving the Dalton Highway and must see stops. We felt safe and comfortable in this truck our whole way up the Dalton. We camped on the side of the road in turnouts as well as campgrounds. Every night was cozy in this truck. It is equipped with everything you need and nothing you don’t. The bed was comfy, awesome to have the little toilet when the bugs were fierce, earplugs provided for the diesel noise, just the right amount of kitchen gear, and little extras that made a huge difference like chairs, hiking poles, ziplocks, garbage bags, spices, etc…
We can’t imagine taking this trip any other way. Thank you so much! We will recommend this site and Blue to others. A great trip to Alaska :)

Mike and Stephanie were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure our trip was well-equipped and comfortable, as well as providing great local suggestions. Their Subaru Outback with rooftop pop-up tent was the perfect choice for our summertime cross-state jaunt. I absolutely recommend renting from them.

Thank you Mike & Steph for alll your help with the last minute booking. My wife and I decided to take an early 10 year anniversary trip due to health issues with her and unsure if she'd feel up to it in July. Even though we had issues with our flight to and from Alaska, the truck made up for it and traveling was so much easier. Mike was flexible with meeting us at a later time due to our arriving flight delay, which was appropriated. We were very appreciative of the gold pannning pans provided in the camper. That was the most relaxing thing we've done together in awhile. Thank you for the memories we were able to make.

Having a Truck Camper in Alaska is super convenient as shown by the sheer volume of other truck campers we saw on the road. Food at restaurants is very expensive and Blue's kitchen did just the trick with a stove, sink and good size fridge. The bed was amply comfortable and the heater helped out on very cold nights. Perfect camper for boondocking. Mike and Stephanie were very flexible with arranging pick-up and drop-off of camper in Fairbanks and very prompt to reply to messages concerning any questions we had about the camper.

Mike and Stephanie were so helpful. They encouraged us to boondock and I may never stay in a campground again. Our experience was amazing! They helped with any questions along the way. They made it possible for us to have the greatest adventure. We lived Blue too as our own and felt so comfortable. Thank you!!
