Riley Creek Campground, Campground at entrance of Denali National Park, Alaska, US
Riley Creek Campground spreads across three distinct loops, featuring over 140 sites suitable for both tents and recreational vehicles up to 40 feet long.
The establishment of Riley Creek Campground in Denali National Park marked a significant development in making the Alaskan wilderness accessible to visitors throughout the 20th century.
Rangers at Riley Creek Campground conduct educational programs that teach visitors about native Alaskan wildlife, local ecosystems, and environmental preservation techniques.
The campground provides essential amenities including potable water stations, flush toilets, coin-operated showers, laundry facilities, and food storage lockers for protection against wildlife.
The third loop of Riley Creek contains a designated walk-in tent section where vehicles are prohibited, creating a more remote camping experience within walking distance of modern facilities.
