Teklanika Campground

While staying in Denali National Park our favorite campground is TEK. We had reservations for 5 days beginning June 9 but received a letter the end of April advising they would be unable to keep the reservation because of ice in the campground. On the last day private vehicles were allowed to drive into the Tek River Francis and I drove in to check it out. Guess what??? This is solid ice . . . the river had frozen upstream causing the water to back up into the campground. First time since it was built but resulting in ice level with the picnic table tops. Workers feel it will be July before campers are allowed in and there will probably be no water this summer.
