Great campsite with lots of amenities -- bear boxes, restrooms, potable water sources, a camp store, laundry, and showers. They have three main campground loops, with a special section for tent-only campers. I camped the night before and after my 3 nights in the Denali backcountry, and it was a great spot to stay! Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for something in the outdoors. There are some nice trails along the river nearby as well :)

The reason to come here is for the views and the hikes. You cant go wrong by coming here. it is stunning. Every angle is beautiful and there are so many hiking trails, you will run out of time before you exhaust the list. This national park had\s better a than average camp ground with real toilets (not holes in the ground), a laundromat, water refill stations, and a bus system to take you around the grounds. The only detractor is that they do not offer power for RVs. They do have a waste water dump on site though. There is even a starbucks, a limited convenience store (snacks, frozen foods, and microwave items as well), and a cafeteria (a bit over priced, as you would expect). the hot chocolate is surprisingly good. They offer a longer bus ride to go out further into the park for a price, and it is absolutely worth it, especially if you want to see some wildlife. If you are considering going, just do it! It's wonderful.

6/28/24 Great Nat'l Park campground! We're in a 38' class A w/ toad. There are several large spots in the bear loop. We were in #22A. Nicely spaced spots. Outhouse was very clean! Loved the dog sled kennels! The Mercentile had showers. We used our RV, so we don't know about that. The laundry facilities were good. Dump and water fill up were easy in/out.

We camped with our truck and 20’ camper. We arrived about 11 am on a Saturday morning and had no trouble finding a nice spot (we did have a reservation, but the spots were FC/FS). Larger spots are harder to come by, but they do have some. Everything was well kept and we had AWESOME cell phone service at the campsite, too. Nice trees for shade, very nice bathrooms with flush toilets. Might be the nicest national park campground we’ve ever used.

Beautiful campground with a great location inside Denali NP. The shuttles are very convenient and the dumpstation is walking distance as well as the store. No hookups but it's a NP. Some sites aren't level. We stayed in B6 next to the host, close to the mercantile and bus stop. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here 2 nights in the fall and it was nice. No electric at the campsites. They do offer a handicap camp sites with the tent pad is raised about 2 feet. Restrooms are clean. The views are amazing.

Really nice camping area. Beautiful area with great trails next to the creek. I didn't like the tent spot but just because it's not what I'm used to and wasn't prepared for that.

Great campground. At&t and T-mobile 4G service. Easy dump and potable water station. Stayed on the Bear loop in an "A" site, had plenty of room in a wide, well groomed campsite.
