Did I walk thru at this National Park campground located right at enterance of Denali National Park. First thing that jumps out at you are how "short" the sites are. Of the 150 sites very few are for rigs over 30'. Those are classified as "A" sites. All the rest are "B" sites or C for tents only. It seems the campground caters to the rental class C market. You see a lot of them here. I was hard pressed to even find a "B" site I could even get my 26' trailer in. Another issue is, your reservation only reserves a B site, but not a site that fits the length of your RV. So you may arrive and the the 20 B sites open for that day (first come first serve) most might have been taken and only the very short ones are left. Another point was the " bump- stops " in the back of the sites are very tall. (8-12"). As far as sites being level. Some are and some are not. There are no showers in the campground, but a short 5 minute walk over to the Riley Creek Mercantile has supplies and pay showers. The campground does have one flush toilet and a few non flush ones around the campground. Yes, you are near the enterance of the national park, but poor site selection would deter me from reserving a site. That was the reason I'm giving it a 2 star rating. Most of the sites could be made 10' longer, but the large bump stops prevent that.

📖 About This Campground
Riley Creek Campground in Denali National Park & Preserve Alaska is located just inside the park entrance. It is the largest campground in Denali, with sites that can accommodate tents or RVs, up to 40' in length. A small section in the third loop (the lowest loop in the image above) is designated as walk-in, tent-only camping. "Walk-in" means both no vehicles in this part of the campground, and that these sites can only be booked upon arriving in the park, not in advance.
