5. Government-Operated Front-Country Sites
The territory of Yukon manages more than 50 road-accessible campgrounds and recreation sites, many operated on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are limited to a few front-country sites such as Marsh Lake, Pine Lake, Tombstone Mountain and Wolf Creek.
These sites provide the more rustic, nature-immersed experience while still offering basic infrastructure. Ideal for travelers who want solitude without giving up comfort entirely.
Planning Tips for Camping & RV Travel in the Yukon
- Reserve early: Popular campgrounds fill quickly in July and August. Many sites close down or reduce services during spring/fall.
- Fuel up and stock up: Especially important if you’re travelling remote routes — services may be sparse.
- Bring layers and waterproof gear: Even in summer, evenings can be chilly; many sites have limited protection from weather.
- Check services and hookups: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups, so know whether you need water, sewer, power or simply a tent pad.
- Wildlife awareness: Protect food, secure campsites, and respect animal habitats to safely enjoy the northern wilderness.
Enjoy the North in Comfort
Camping or RVing in the Yukon gives you a front-row seat to towering mountains, pristine forests, and vast skies. With the right campground as your home base, you can experience all that the North offers—whether that’s stargazing beneath the aurora, hiking hidden trails at dawn, or simply listening to the silence of the wilderness.
