§ 02 — OVERVIEW
Open in summer only (May 20 to mid-September). Sanctuary River is a heavily wooded campground, with screening between most sites. The immediate area is brushy, but nearby mountains offer chances to hike directly from the campground and gain elevation, with views of Mount McKinley to the south possible on clear days, after some strenuous up-hill hiking.
Sanctuary is tent-only—you will not find any RVs or other vehicles in this campground. It is accessible only by camper bus.
