in the Denali area range from Anderson to
Cantwell, and offer many of the amenities
that travelers seek. They have the added
bonus of usually being able to book group
sites for visitors traveling together.
So, what is “boondocking?” It refers to
the practice of finding a pullout, gravel
pit, or other location to camp outside of
a designated campground. While there
are many places in Alaska where this is
possible, it is important to note:
In some areas, boondocking is
permitted with a land use fee.
Be aware of generator noise to homes or
businesses that may be nearby.
Pull-outs are often visited by truck
drivers for breaks during their routes,
so they are often noisier than they
appear.
Private property isn’t always labeled.
Know the current fire conditions and
dangers of the area you choose. Make
sure all campfires are on bare ground
with a proper ring to contain the fire,
and that the fire is fully extinguished
before you leave.
In the Denali area, most of the easily accessible
locations are on property owned by Ahtna, Inc,
The Alaska Railroad or the State of Alaska. Many
– but not all of these locations – do have “no
camping” signs. Always make sure to check!
