This is a tiny place, the rooms are a bed, t.v. mini fridge and bathroom. Its clean, quiet and has a little set up with tables and a microwave directly outside the rooms. Its a pleasant place in the middle of the wilderness. It was very affordable. The shower had to run a minute before the hot water kicked in. If your looking for clean and pleasant this is a good place

I do not recommend this place. It is SUPER expensive for what you get (they charge extra for showers!) and it’s in a very windy location. I know they can’t help the weather but this little area is windier than the rest of the area. I wish I would have stayed at the crappy place in Cantwell rather than here. (RV, not hotel) also, the dog “park” has a huge gap between the fence and the ground where a dog could EASILY get out. Meh

We had a wonderful stay at Denali RV Park! The campground was clean, quiet, and conveniently located for exploring the area. The bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean and well maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable after long days of sightseeing. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the park had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Denali area.

While visiting Denali National Park we camped here. We have a 35 foot 5th wheel and could get around the park easily. The grounds and laundry room are immaculately maintained. The camp sites are ample size. They do have cabins as well. The staff is very friendly. The location Is great, only a 10 minute drive to park entrance and 10 minute drive to Healy for groceries, hardware store, fuel station or Napa Parts. I highly recommend staying here at this family owned business!

I booked a RV spot here for last summer, so my husband and I could get out of Anchorage for a bit. The wild fire that came through this area kept us from going on our camping trip as they were evacuating community’s near by this campground. I asked to cancel our trip due to this. They refused to refund me because it was outside the cancellation window and offered to let me pick a different weekend to apply my money to. I asked them to make an exception due to the fires and they never responded to me. I reached out this year seeing if they would honor my funds being allocated to a spot. They said that offer had expired. Wish I could have experienced this camp site but after the lack of understanding or customer service I was given I don’t think we will ever stay here.
