This summer, we visited the Tatlanika Gift Shop and Campground, and I fell in love with these cards and a print, made by an AK artist. I decided to frame them for my new bathroom downstairs. I finally got them framed, now to hang them!We live in Nenana, about a 40 minute drive, this gift shop is my very favorite of all shops. I love stopping here.

This is a cute stop on the way between Denali and Fairbanks. Another little gift shop but it has some ecclectic sights and a bathroom. Some snacks. Sizeable campground. Its a homestead property.

campground=⭐️⭐️ 2 starsgiftshop=⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 starsour group (3 RVs) stayed in the campground 3 nightswe requested 30 amp service, and were told all RV sites were 30 amp. the camp site also included water. no sewer hookup, but there was a dump station on the property.our RV sites get two starsour three assigned sites were on the river side of the park (west). our two sites closest to the river, appeared to be on the main road that circles the park. we had to make sure we were parked in such a way, that our two RVs in those two funky camp sites, didn't block what looked like an auxiliary road on our left, that the cruise line buses use to drive around those two sites (when occupied). several cruise line buses drove by our sites each day, and parked near the gift shop, so bus passengers could shop.when we connected power, we saw that there was only 15 amp GFI plugs (no 30 amp plugs). we used an adapter with our Hughes power surge/EPO (emergency power off) device. we were only able to draw about 14 amps, before voltage dropped to unusable levels (upper 90s, instead of 110s/120s) and caused the EPO to turn off power to protect the rig appliances/powered devices. we had to turn off most appliances and powered devices, or (if possible) set them to use propane only. we were told a 30 amp breaker was installed at our sites. from what we experienced when trying to use the site power, is apparently the wire gauge is still only for 15 amp service. we checked the sites on the east side of the park (birch tree area), and those sites actually had both 15 amp and 30 amp plugs. so we figured that side of the park actually has correct 30 amp service.the road noise at our river side camp sites from highway 3 was loud, particularly when vehicles were driving across the Jack Coghill bridge.the RV park itself is lovely. it has some interesting historical pieces on the park grounds. also there are a couple of small airplanes on the property, which were interesting to look at. the Nenana river was fascinating to watch, since the water flow changed a little day over day, due to silt movement.the gift shop gets 5 stars. they have a large variety of nice merchandise.we would not stay in those river side (west) camp sites again.

Great little place to stop. Fun gifts, authentic Alaskan decorations, clean restrooms, and the owners are fantastic. Bentley the dog as well as Lulu the cat and one other kitty are very friendly. They may greet you and follow you around.

Awesome little stop on our trip to Denali Lodge. They have some cool gifts, souvenirs and nice restrooms. Children were running the popcorn and snack stand outside, which was really nice to see. Be warned about the CLOUD of mosquitoes waiting for you there as well! NOT the owner's fault. They're EVERYWHERE in Alaska it seems, but we were the MAIN menu as not much else is around that is hot blooded. Spray yourself ahead of time and you should be good to enjoy all this place has to offer. It has its own plane and landing strip!

I would stay here again but there are issues. Pros: Nice sites with room near the river. Good gift shop. Quiet at night. Close enough to visit Denali daily. Cons: during the day, road noise can be annoying. Power at river sites is 15 amps with 15 amp outlet, no matter what they tell you. Under load, the power drops to 107VAC. During the day, tour buses cruise past you site because they use this park as a stop. Have to pay to dump even though there is no sewer at the site.

Nice little campground with a nice gift shop. This was a scheduled stop on our Princess Cruise line vacation when we were traveling by bus from Denali to McKinley.

We stayed a week here in our fifth wheel. Used this location as our base to Denali National Park as the park & hub-bub we’re 40 miles away. Place is exactly as advertised. Water & 30 amps… no frills but well cared for campground. It has two sections the pined section is close to the river, but those sites must deal with tour buses going by their sites several times a day. We chose to stay in the birch sites, with no your bus action. Campground is along the road so there is some road noise. There is a dump fee & wish that could have been waived for longer stays. Owners are very nice people & Bentley their dog is a sweetie. Gift shop is very nice & has reasonable prices.

I was driving from Anchorage to Fairbanks and spotted this shop North of Denali - I am so glad I stopped in. What a great and varied selection of items inside! Out of all the gift shops I stopped in during my vacation - this one was my favorite. I couldn't resist stopping in on the way back to Anchorage too. I found the perfect locally crafted doll for a friend of mine, and the cutest baby booties ever for her daughter. Highly recommend stopping in and looking around.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They were very welcoming and helped me find a spot to set up our tent with our family of 10. Bathrooms are very clean. The whole facility is very clean and has some cool displays. Close to the river and has lots of space for my kids to run around.

Was a nice campground. Owner jay is a very nice guy. I am an alaskan from fairbanks and stayed there for a month due to a job that was close by. Its hard to please everyone here in alaska but you can tell they do all they can to make it comfortable in this remote place.
