A few things to know
The list below is not exhaustive, but here are some of the important things you must know about camping in Denali:
You may
check in for all of these campgrounds at the Riley Creek Mercantile or the
Wilderness Access Center. Check in / check out at all campgrounds is 11 am.
No campground in Denali has electrical or water
hookups for RVs. If you need hookups, there are many campgrounds outside the park with such amenities.
Pets are allowed on campground roads and the Park Road, but not on trails or in the wilderness.

Fires are permitted in established fire grates, in Riley Creek, Savage River and Teklanika River. You may collect wood that is both dead and on the ground - no sawing or cutting to harvest wood. You can buy wood at the Riley Creek Mercantile.
Quiet hours are 10 pm - 6 am at all park campgrounds.
Some campgrounds are
tent-only, and others can be reached only by
camper bus. Read each campground description to learn more details.
Each campsite is limited to
no more than three tents and eight people per site. Wonder Lake is an exception, with no more than three tents and four people per site.
In all campgrounds, you
choose your campsite upon arriving in the campground - not in advance.
There is a
14 night maximum for all visitors in any summer season. Visitors staying longer than 14 nights in the Denali area will need to consider
camping in the backcountry or in
privately-run campgrounds outside of the park.
