Great campground. It's really clean with big spots for trailers and RVs. There are even dirt/grass platforms for tents. There's a lake which is the headwaters of the Delta River and a great place for a multi day raft trip.

Nice campground. Clean bathrooms. Scenic. Good fishing lake saw some guys heading out to flyfish for some lake trout. Extremely windy for our one night stay so couldn't take advantage of everything this area had to offer. We did fill our water bottles up.

Such a beautiful campground! We camped here twice this summer and it’s one of our new favorites. There’s a boat launch for those who have boats or water toys. There are no hookups or dump stations here. Spots vary in length and size, they all have fire pits and picnic tables. Outhouses were clean and the campground maintained. I recommend checking out Tangle Lakes Lodge, really good pizza, and McLaren Lodge. The drive is insanely stunning. One of our favorite campgrounds now!

First come, first serve campground. Around 40 sites in two areas. Great access to the lake for boating and fishing. Several restrooms that are well taken care of. Highly recommend on a trip over the Denali Highway.

This is a nice place. We went for one night, and ended up staying for three. Clean bathrooms. No cell service at all. The spots were really level as well. Not much brush or anything between the spots, so privacy isn’t much there. There was a camper in the hosts spot, but never saw them. Seemed like a popular place for fishermen to go to.
