Thank you all for your input. I think that we can reasonably estimate where we will be for July 1 and 4, so we will make those reservations. For Teklanika in Denali, we will start calling about 2 weeks before we arrive in that area and prepare to be flexible.
This is definitely the correct way to go about staying in Denali. We made our 5 night reservation two weeks prior when we could better judge when we'd be there. We stayed at Teklanika 5 nights.
We did get near Denali a little earlier than expected and on a whim we decided to try for the front campground - Riley Creek. We boondocked nearby at a lovely spot the previous night and drove into the park early morning with our 40' motorhome and easily secured an additional 5 nights at Riley Creek.
There is plenty to do in each of the campgrounds - Riley Creek and Teklanika. Our days were full and we saw the big 5 large animals over and over again. We also saw 'THE' mountain almost all day long 7 out of 10 nights in the park.
Staying in Denali itself is the way to go for that large park.
