Caribou Creek Camp

Dispersed camping along Caribou Creek provides a backcountry experience within the vast expanse of Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve. This drive-in site allows campers to select their own spot along the creek corridor, following Leave No Trace principles under National Park Service management. The area sits roughly four miles from the small community of Slana, offering access to one of Alaska's most expansive wilderness preserves.

Campers should come prepared for primitive conditions with no developed facilities or services. The dispersed nature means no designated sites, restrooms, or potable water sources. For additional camping infrastructure, campgrounds near Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve provide more developed options throughout the region.
