Tangle Lakes Campground, located at MP 21.5 of the north side of the Denali Highway, is situated within the Delta Wild and Scenic River corridor and the Tangle Lakes Archaeological District boundary where over 10,000 years of human use have been documented. The campground provides 45 accessible campsites and 4 walk-in sites and is equipped with water pumps, toilets and a boat launch. Fees: $12/night for regular, $6/night for walk-in site. The campground rests amid a series of long, narrow lakes known as the Tangle Lakes that are connected by the Tangle River and form the headwaters of the Delta River. The boat launch provides access to the lakes and is also the designated put-in for the popular 30-mile Delta Wild & Scenic River float trip. The Tangle Ridge Hiking Trail (for non-motorized use only) extends out of the campground and provides a 360 degree view of the stunning landscape.
Access the campground at milepost 21.5 Denali Highway on the north side.
Good BLM campground. Multiple back- in spaces with tent platforms, multiple pull-through options, group and parking lot area as well. Walk in area great for tent camping.
Several bathrooms throughout the camp ground.
Easy access to the lake
Very clean, nicely laid out campground. All the spots are spacious with a nice level parking area, and I noticed the tent spots had a separate raised area for the tent. The bathrooms were clean and maintained. The location itself is just breathtaking. Definitely going to bring our boat next time to take advantage of more fishing.
This is a beautiful place, very unique. Understand that it’s always cold here, and it always seems to me that it is always a bit harsh, so prepare yourself. Lot’s a wind and cold. Fairbanks and Anchorage can be warm and wonderful, but you get here and you are reminded that you are in Alaska. Jut be prepared and you will enjoy it. Windy and cold. Don’t forget.
