Igloo Creek Campground

Denali National Park & Preserve


This small, waterless, seven-site camping area marks the beginning of true bear country. The day-hiking around here is excellent, especially the numerous ridges around Igloo and Cathedral Mountains that provide routes into alpine areas.

Sites can only be reserved in person at the WAC two days in advance.
