Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve
Camping & Lodging

Unlike many national parks, Wrangell-St. Elias does not have formal park service campgrounds or lodging concessionaires. Many visitors simply make camp on public land along the McCarthy and Nabesna Roads. On private land within the park boundaries, and along area highways, there are a number of commercial businesses that offer a variety of visitor services including camping and lodging.
