Stayed here for 8 days at the end of August 2021. It rained every day and snowed one of them. The grounds themselves were very well kept, trash and bathrooms were cleaned every day. Saw park rangers driving by quite a bit as well. I can’t definitely say you can or can not see Denali peak from the campground as it was cloudy the whole time. Ironically though, the drive in and out was beautiful and well worth driving a snails pace and pulling off on every designated space for pictures. Have a solar setup if your bringing an rv. They have designated generator hours and we used every bit of it and our heater still sapped our batteries over night. The day we left the closed the campground for a week to try and get a bear away from the grounds. Careful if you bring pets. Your not allowed to bring pets on hiking trails, or leave them alone in the camp site either, so be aware of that as well.

Good place to stop and stretch you legs. Plenty of bathrooms. Was not allowed to walk to the river due to bear activity. But the views of the glacial river is incredible.

Booked the site because you got to go past the famed "mile 15". It has 52 rv sites, which you just put a tent in if you don't have an RV. Cool. What i didn't realized is that you are basically a prisoner. Can't use your own vehicle on the roads not even to go back to visitor center or else you wouldn't be allowed to go back to camp to get your stuff (I did know about this stipulation and was okay becausewe had the bus). $60 bus ticket is mandatory if you want to leave the campsite and go from mile 29.1 (tek) to mile 66 (eileson) unless your healthy enough to hike/walk that far. Oh, don't even think about taking that same bus from mile 29.1 to mile 0 since you would need to buy another bus ticket to get back to camp. Mile 0-15 contains more ada friendly hikes, the dog kennels, etc. Why? Great question...and not one that was given an answer by our very hostile and condescending host "Ed", who ended up telling us "maybe this isn't the campground for you". We left a day early because we had older, less mobile campers and wanted to do stuff other that hike/bike. The bus and host are part of the Doyson corporation and really do a terrible job with this national park.

This campground is highly overrated. We reserved this area due to the excellent reviews but when we got there we were surprised! The spaces are tight and very close together. There wasn't much to see, no view at all. Area was really dirty. Camp host was aloof and not helpful. People were drinking and standing in the road.

Going back this June for third time at Tek. Two earlier times in a tent. The camp has toilets and water. Also ranger program. Near a River good for walks. Bus stops at camp entrance. Your vehicle must stay for your camp time.
