Gates Of The Arctic National Park & Preserve - CampingHome > Gates Of The Arctic > Camping  No established campgrounds Details Nearly all of Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve is congressionally designated wilderness. There are no campgrounds, roads, established trails or other maintained visitor facilities within it"s boundaries. Wilderness camping in the arctic requires special care. Arctic vegetation is easily damaged and slow to recover. You can minimize damage to vegetation by limiting your group size to seven people maximum and by camping in one spot no longer than three days. The Brooks Range is also bear country and it is important to keep a clean camp. Bears that become accustomed to human food and petroleum-based products, such as fuel and bug repellent in aerosol cans, can present a hazard to people traveling in the backcountry and often have to be destroyed. Protect yourself and the bears by properly storing your food. If we all do our part we can protect the fragile ecosystems and the bears that inhabit them while enjoying this vast wilderness. |
