Riley Creek Campground is in the Denali National Park entrance area and has spots for both RV's and tents. It has running water and flush toilets, but no hookups. A dump station and showers are nearby. Don't despair if this campground is full. There are plenty of full facility RV parks, outside Denali Park, near the park entrance.
