Doyon/ARAMARK Joint Venture, the transportation concessioner for
Denali National Park and Preserve, will begin accepting advance
reservations for the 2006 visitor season for shuttle buses and the
park’s four largest campgrounds: Riley Creek, Savage River,
Teklanika, and Wonder Lake on Thursday, December 1, 2005. Reservations
will be available online, by mail and fax at that time. Phone reservations
will begin on February 15, 2006.
The Teklanika Campground is open to hard-sided camping only (no
tents), and there is no RV camping at Wonder Lake. Beginning December
1, approximately 65% of the shuttle bus seats and 100% of the campsites
in the above campgrounds can be reserved in advance. The remaining
tickets are made available for advance reservations or walk-in two
days before the travel date.
The shuttle buses are designed to provide transportation along the
park road for visitors who wish to view the park’s scenery
and wildlife, access campgrounds, go hiking for the day or take
an overnight trip into the park’s backcountry. Drivers will
answer questions and help visitors spot wildlife. The shuttle bus
system will operate May 20 through September 14, 2006, weather permitting.
Camping fees and shuttle bus rates for the 2006 season will be finalized
by December 1.
A maximum of eight seats may be requested with each reservation,
and individual names and ages are required as age discounts may
apply. Please include alternate dates and times when possible. When
making reservations by credit card, include the credit card number
and expiration date. Checks are only accepted with mail-in reservation
