Denali National Park & PreserveThough nearly all private vehicles must turn around at mile 15, Savage River, Tek campers are an exception to that rule. If you wish, you may drive your vehicle / RV to Tek. The trade-off is that you must make, at minimum, a three-night stay, and your vehicle must stay in your campsite for the duration of your stay. Your vehicle can only leave your campsite when you are ready to travel back to the park entrance.
DESCRIPTION
Open in summer only (May 20 to mid-September). Though nearly all private vehicles must turn around at mile 15, Savage River, Tek campers are an exception to that rule. If you wish, you may drive your vehicle / RV to Tek. The trade-off is that you must make, at minimum, a three-night stay, and your vehicle must stay in your campsite for the duration of your stay, while you use transit buses to sightsee. Tent campers using the park bus system to reach Tek are not subject to the 3-night minimum stay.
WEATHER INFO
Summers are generally cool and wet, though warm, dry weather is possible on occasion. Prepare for nighttime temperatures near freezing, particularly in May, late August and September.
RESERVATIONS INFO
Reservations are strongly recommended. Group campsites are not available at Teklanika; larger groups of 9–20 people should consider staying at Riley Creek or Savage River Campgrounds.
