Good free spot

Only downfall was we could hear the highway but at night there wasn’t much traffic. Secluded spots. Good stop.

Beautiful view of Mt Healy.

Looking for a place to camp near Denali as main campground full. I don’t know why more people are not here! Have a great tucked in flat site. Walked around and see one RV and one other tent both with great spots. It’s quiet and sheltered. The kids enjoyed all the bunny sightings.

Fine Camping… if there are people

A bit creepy of an area. Pretty hidden off the highway and doesn’t feel like the safest spot.

Best 5g cell service near Denali National Park

I ended up doing car camping here on a whim because it was super rainy and I wanted somewhere I could comfortably car camp without running into the risk of being disturbed and let me tell you this was such a beautiful and safe space to be camping. The best part of it all, if you have AT&T you get full 5g service in the mountains. It was great 10/10 will be camping when I pass through here again.
