Yukon - Charley Rivers National Preserve — RV Camping in Alaska, US

Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve offers a rare backcountry camping experience in one of Alaska's most remote and pristine wilderness areas. Situated along the legendary Yukon River in interior Alaska, this vast national preserve spans nearly 2.5 million acres of boreal forest, dramatic river corridors, and rugged terrain near the historic community of Eagle. Camping is primarily along the gravel and sandbars of the Yukon River, where breezy conditions naturally deter insects and provide excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. This is true wilderness camping — no established facilities or hookups — making it ideal for adventurers seeking solitude and an authentic Alaskan backcountry experience. Visitors must follow Leave No Trace principles, use bear-resistant food storage containers, and set up cook areas well away from sleeping areas. The preserve is a haven for hiking, wildlife watching, gold rush history exploration, and river travel by canoe, kayak, or raft. NPS-maintained public-use cabins along the Yukon River offer an alternative shelter option. Nearby Eagle and Circle provide limited services, and BLM campgrounds are accessible along the Taylor and Steese Highways. This is a destination for self-sufficient outdoor enthusiasts ready to experience Alaska's wild interior.
