About Kendesnii Campground

Discover Alaska's hidden gem at Kendesnii Campground, the sole National Park Service campground nestled within the vast wilderness of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. This intimate sanctuary offers just 10 thoughtfully placed campsites, each graced with its own picnic table and fire ring where stories are shared under endless summer skies or winter's northern lights. Best of all, this pristine escape comes without a price tag – camping here is completely free, welcoming adventurers year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. While summer visitors enjoy easy access, winter transforms Kendesnii into a snow-draped wonderland that only the most intrepid explorers can reach.
