There is no hotel, hostel or village inside Northeast Greenland National Park, so your bed is a tent or a cabin you have arranged in advance. The park covers most of the northeast of the island and has only a handful of year-round residents, mostly staff at Station Nord, Danmarkshavn weather station and the Daneborg sledge patrol base, none of which take walk-in guests.

There is no hotel, hostel or village inside Northeast Greenland National Park, so your bed is a tent or a cabin you have arranged in advance. The park covers most of the northeast of the island and has only a handful of year-round residents, mostly staff at Station Nord, Danmarkshavn weather station and the Daneborg sledge patrol base, none of which take walk-in guests. Some old trapper huts and expedition huts exist along the coast, but they are for emergencies or permitted users, so assume you will camp. Most visitors arrive on an expedition ship, which then becomes your floating hotel, with cabins from roughly US$8,000 to 15,000 for a trip. Independent trekkers camp on gravel and tundra near Zackenberg or Constable Pynt, with a permit, a rifle-carrying guide or an approved safety plan. The nearest civilian base is Constable Pynt, an airstrip in Scoresbysund fjord country outside the park, and Ittoqqortoormiit, south of the park, offers a guesthouse and hostel from roughly US$100 to 180 a night. Akureyri and Reykjavik in Iceland are the usual gateways for flights and charters. Nothing here is walk-up, so arrange every night before you leave.
