NPL03 Camp Denali Lodge – Denali National Park

Print

The experience of staying at Camp Denali is a unique blend of camaraderie among fellow adventurers, active learning, and immersion in the wilderness. Located deep within Denali National Park near Wonder Lake, the lodge offers a simple elegance that does not detract from the wild landscape you have come to explore. Camp Denali is not for everyone, but you do not have to be an experienced hiker - or capable of scaling Denali - to enjoy your stay. Days can include guided hikes, wildlife observation, birdwatching, botanizing, and learning about Denali’s flora, fauna, geology, and cultural history with knowledgeable naturalist-guides. The guides can also help guests plan independent adventures. The lodge is intentionally small and personal, creating a relaxed atmosphere and opportunities to get to know fellow guests and staff. There is limited electricity and telephone service, and no television or bar. Instead, the focus is on the surrounding wilderness, good conversation, and time spent outdoors. Despite its remote setting, Camp Denali maintains a high standard of hospitality and food. Fresh produce and herbs come from the lodge’s greenhouse, while the bakery prepares fresh breads, cookies, pastries, and desserts. Wild berries gathered from the surrounding tundra are preserved as jams and syrups. The main prerequisites are an interest in exploring, an enthusiasm for walking and being outdoors in all kinds of weather, and a spirit of adventure.
