Savage River Campground

Denali National Park & Preserve


Despite its name, this park campground is a mile short of the eponymous river and close to the new Mountain Vista rest area. It’s one of only two campgrounds with a view of the mountain. The 32 sites can accommodate both RVs and tents, with such amenities as flush toilets, piped-in water and evening presentations.
