49th State Brewing Campground

The campground is hard to find like the others have mentioned (to the left of the gas station, then you’ll see the banner with the campground guidelines leading you down to the sites). Next to the sites are the seasonal(?) employee housing. The rules strictly state “no parties” but the employees are up until 1 AM+ driving dirt bikes and ATVs around…lol
The bathrooms immediately next to the campground that you’d assume were for campers have a locked entry and are for the employees. Campers need to walk up a flight of stairs to the basement of the gas station which has laundry(not sure how much $), showers ($5), and bathrooms. We parked in a spot then went to the brewery for dinner (DELICIOUS by the way), and mentioned to our server that we were camping so she added the $25 to our dinner bill. Convenient spot, only about 3 others on a Thursday night, but a little pricey in my opinion.

Auf der Suche nach einem Campground in der Nähe des Denali NP sind wir hier gelandet. 15 Min. Fahrzeit. Der Platz ist in keinster Weise ausgeschildert, aber Dank der vorherigen Kommentare haben wir die Einfahrt links hinter der Vitus Tankstelle gefunden.
Der Platz wird nicht gepflegt. Es gibt Tische und Feuerstellen, aber weder sammelt jemand den Müll ein, noch mäht jemand den Rasen. Es stehen viele kaputte Tische herum. Mülleimer gibt es nicht und auch keine funktionierende Dumpstation.
Anmeldung erfolgt am Empfang der Brauerei. Das wurde bei uns jedoch nie kontrolliert.
Wir sind dennoch 3 Tage geblieben, da er recht ruhig gelegen ist und wir eine schöne Stelle dort gefunden hatten.

Translated to English (Google Translate): We ended up here looking for a campground near Denali NP. 15 minutes travel time. The place is not signposted in any way, but thanks to the previous comments we found the entrance to the left behind the Vitus gas station.
The place is not maintained. There are tables and fire pits, but no one collects the trash or mows the lawn. There are many broken tables around. There are no rubbish bins and no functioning dump station.
Registration takes place at the reception of the brewery. However, we never checked this.
However, we stayed for 3 days because it is in a very quiet location and we had found a nice spot there.

There were no reviews of this place. We needed a place to stay the night before our Denali reservations and it was near a brewery, sounded like our kind of place. Well . . .

First, it was difficult to find, and there was no signage on the highway. We parked at the brewery and took a walk around. Finally we found it in back and below the Vitus fuel station, north of the brewery. It looked like an abandoned campground, only there was a sign with rules and it said to pay at the brewery. Turn on Jerry Colruds Road off The Parks highway and head down the hill.

This campground is in a very sad state of repair when visited on June 28. We could not get any answers from the young seasonal workers who worked at the brewery about this place. I do know the name was changed from what it was originally listed as on Campendium. Campendium has updated the information. (Our theory is that this campground had been shut down for awhile and the brewery bought it, hopefully with the intent of fixing it up)

Most sites were pull throughs with power and water. The water was turned off, but there was a leak somewhere because several of the sites were flooded. There were also a lot of tiny sites, some very small with no obvious place to park a car.

Restrooms were locked with a sign saying to use the restrooms at the Vitus. You could also pay for showers, do laundry and dump your trash at the Vitus. Tables and fire pits had seen better days. Sites needed to be cleaned up, lots of pine ones and some trash. There was a dump station but I am not sure it was open.

The campground has some temporary seasonal housing adjacent to the property to the south, everyone was quiet as they came and went.

So we stayed, it was quiet, the power worked and we could walk to the brewery. We hope they do fix it up, it has potential.
