A great place to get a bunk, stash your gear (or rent some) and catch a free shuttle to the park...
The shuttle bus stops at this place, an upscale lodge (with restaurant and bar) run by Aramark.
In a huge, intriguing geodesic house, this is the best B&B in Healy. And, despite what you may think, the digs are not hippie at all. The owners are absolute oracles of wisdom when it comes to Denali Park, and do a bang-up job with breakfast.
This place has private-bath cabins, a sauna and two outdoor hot tubs.
This is the finest of Denali's campgrounds, thanks to its eye-popping views of Mt McKinley. The facility has 28 sites for tents only but does offer flush toilets and piped-in water.
Despite its name, this is a mile short of the actual river. It's one of only two campgrounds with a view of Mt McKinley.
North of Healy; rents out 12 private-bathroom cabins above the timberline at 1900ft - just a short climb away from stunning views of Mt McKinley.
Across from the hostel, this place has well-maintained private-bath cabins, some with kitchenettes. The café here has a hearty mountain woman breakfast and, for dinner, Alaskan amber-glazed salmon.
This place offers wooded campsites, platform tent cabins, rooms and 23 cabins, some featuring tons of Alaskan character.
Up on the hill behind the gas station, these modern log cabins, though a little tightly spaced, have common front porches with great views.
Also in Carlo Creek, this place has a small cluster of tightly spaced double-occupancy cabins. Rates include breakfast at the Perch, which is one of the park area's best restaurants specializing in seafood, pasta and wild game.
Owned by park co-concessionaire Doyon, Kantishna Roadhouse has clean modern cabins, a beautiful new dining room, a bar and guided activities. It has a nice location on Moose Creek, but of all the Kantishna lodgings it feels the most corporate.
At the park's main entrance and within earshot of George Parks Hwy, this is Denali's largest and most developed campground and is the only one open year-round. It has 146 sites, piped-in water, flush toilets and evening interpretive programs.
Verging on legendary, Camp Denali has been the gold standard among Kantishna lodges for the last half-century.
The last lodge on this end of the road, this is a great-looking place on the banks of Moose Creek with comfortable modern cabins and common areas. Transport, meals and guided activities are included.
This is the next campground down the road from Savage River. On the banks of a large glacial river, the seven sites are for tents only and can't be reserved in advance. There's no piped-in water.
This small, solar-powered, three-room place serves as Kantishna Air Taxi's base of operations. Guests have use of a common kitchen, dining area, bathroom, shower and decks overlooking the Kantishna Valley.
Pricey but pleasantly comfortable, this motel offers 28 rooms, all with private bath, satellite TV and phone; kitchen suites are available. In summer, rates include continental breakfast in the dining room.
Affiliated with Camp Denali and just down the hill, this is a more traditionally appointed lodge complete with en suite bath and all the comforts of home.
In 2005 tent camping (not RV camping) was stopped here due to wolf activity, but that may soon change. There are 53 sites, flush toilets, piped-in water and evening programs.
This place offers neat log cabins. The smaller cabins sleep two to three people, while the larger ones sleep up to six - good value for families or small groups.
About 13 miles south of the park entrance, this lodge offers a variety of creek-side accommodations.
'The Bake' has 12 cabins, including a couple of bare-bones shared-bath tent cabins that are by far the cheapest digs in Glitter Gulch. It does sourdough-pancake breakfasts and, for dinner, king salmon plates.
This small waterless tent-camping area has been closed for some time due to wolf-denning in the vicinity, but it may reopen.
