• Fire pit with firewood provided
• Covered gazebo
• Tables, benches, and a kitchen table

We absolutely love this place. Love the serenity and privacy. The host is top-notch and provides for every need. We are returning guests and this is by far our favorite place to camp. I hope future guests will respect the land and be good stewards, pick up your trash, pick up after your pets, leave it as clean or cleaner than you found it. Thank you Kris for sharing with us, it always most appreciated! The RV is put away, we will see you in the spring Camp DeVo!

I absolutely loved this campsite! It was private, peaceful, and set up perfectly—everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The location right on the Little Su was absolutely beautiful, and it was easy to get to as well. The host was great to rent from and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back again!

Such a gem of a property!! Very thoughtful accommodations, clean, quiet and private. There's plenty of space to spread out, and the river was so clear and peaceful. Kiddos had a blast exploring the trails, river, and picking wild berries. The fire pit cranks!! Nice and toasty and the pavilion is such a charming and well apprecited addition. We definitely recommend and hope to return soon! Kris was very responsive and helpful. Lovely host!! I hope future renters are respectful to the property and leave it nice and clean so others can continue to enjoy!

Where to go
Susitna River
The Susitna River or “Big Su” as locals call it, runs right past town. A boat landing offers access for motorized watercraft. The river is a major highway for salmon migrating to spawning grounds and it also has wild whitewater and incredible views of the Alaska Range. Take a guided jet boat tour on a covered deck to experience different sections of wilderness and the famous Devil’s Canyon whitewater stretch.
Denali National Park
Denali National Park is the big attraction for many Talkeetna campers and it’s an incredible landscape to experience. Many trips begin at the visitors center to gain an understanding of the general area, trail systems and safety precautions needed for the park. Take the shuttle or ride a bike down the main road, hike to Horseshoe Lake or explore the vast backcountry on foot if you’re an experienced navigator. Guided hiking tours, dogsled tours, and river rafting are also all available near the park.
Flightseeing Tours
Alaska Range flightseeing tours leave from the Talkeetna airport, taking visitors over some of the most rugged and unpopulated country on earth. Viewing glaciers and steep mountain slopes from the sky while also flying over river valleys where moose, caribou and grizzly bears roam is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You can do this directly out of Talkeetna without entering the park by road.
Area Streams
While the Susitna River is great for fishing, it’s a large river that requires expert knowledge and equipment to access and have success. The surrounding streams are smaller and serve as spawning grounds for salmon in the region. The Talkeetna and Chulitna Rivers are often productive and smaller streams like Clear Creek and Prairie Creek have salmon, trout and dolly varden available in the summer fishing season.
When to go
Talkeetna is accessible by road and is a year-round destination. The vast majority of visitors arrive during summer when the days are long and warmer. Salmon runs also occur during peak summer, making July and August the best times to visit the area. It’s also a good time for camping comfortably and hiking around Talkeetna and Denali National Park. Days begin getting shorter in September and on through winter. Although cold, winter brings dog sledding into action and visitors come to snowshoe and cross country ski. Viewing the northern lights here in winter is also an amazing way to spend a night.
