住宿

There are no lodging sites nor campgrounds in Noatak National Preserve, leaving backcountry camping the only option, meaning, you can choose to camp anywhere you like. Leave-no-trace camping principles should be practiced, as much of the land is unspoiled, and is necessary to keep the pristine landscape the way it is.
