Alaskan Glamping
Discover the Alaska wilderness without sacrificing comfort at Alaskan Glamping. Cozy tents, scenic trails, and a welcoming community await just outside Anchorage—perfect for adventurers seeking a thoughtfully curated outdoor escape.
Alaskan Glamping brings rustic-luxury camping to a secluded corner of Alaska, just 45 miles from Anchorage. Guests sleep in sturdy canvas tents that combine comfortable bedding with a true backcountry atmosphere. A communal fire pit and picnic areas create easy meeting points for evenings under northern skies, while more than 25 miles of maintained trails and outdoor routes invite day hikes, wildlife viewing, and photography.
Accommodation options include individual bell tent rentals, a Glamping Experience with twin beds, and a Full Camp Rental that includes five fully furnished tents — ideal for private groups and families. Each bell tent arrives set up with a picnic table and fire ring for effortless arrival; reserve camping spaces are also offered for visitors seeking a more self-reliant, no-frills wilderness night without toilets or water.
Alaskan Glamping also provides targeted expedition support for climbers heading to Denali and logistical services to Talkeetna. These support services are managed by retired guide Katie Connor, bringing decades of mountain experience, safety protocols, and local knowledge to each trip. Catering and food logistics are available for Denali support packages to simplify expedition planning.
Operations prioritize safety, clear communication, and respect for the environment. Leave-no-trace practices and established campsite systems minimize impact while preserving the remote character of the property. Whether seeking a luxury overnight with creature comforts or a simple, secluded campsite to disconnect, Alaskan Glamping combines comfort, expert support, and authentic Alaskan wilderness. Booking information and seasonal availability are published online with clear cancellation policies and site descriptions.
