Camping: Depends on what you mean. If you're the kind of person who wants to pack everything you need for a week into a backpack and walk off into the wilderness, then you will be utterly amazed at the opportunities Central Alaska offers. Camp just about anywhere you want. The area abounds with inviting-looking hills. Pick one that isn't too near town & go for it.
On the other end of the scale, if you like numbered campsites, picnic tables, fire pits, and outhouses, then you can start by driving 40 miles east of town on Chena Hot Springs Road to Granite Tors Campground. There are a couple of nice trails nearby. 10 miles more down the road is Angel Rocks, a nice day hike around interesting rock formations that a reasonably fit family can take. Various longer trails are in the area as well.
Regardless, get yourself a copy of a book called Milepost. It lists every major road in Alaska, and everything there is to see on each road. It's very comprehensive. You can buy it in Fairbanks in gas stations, grocery stores, etc. (or here). A new version is published each year.
