Riley Creek Campground

Denali National Park & Preserve


At the park’s main entrance, and within earshot of George Parks Hwy, this is Denali’s largest and most developed campground. It's open year-round and has 147 sites for tents and RVs, piped-in water, flush toilets and evening interpretive programs. Walk-ins have their own section in C lot.

The location is convenient for access to Riley Creek Mercantile (with wi-fi), the WAC, visitor center and many hikes. Note that camping is free in winter (mid-September through May 10).
