Campground Facilities
Our roadside campgrounds offer picnic tables, campfire pits, firewood and at least one picnic shelter. But you'll have to make do with out-houses, and hand pumped cold water. If you prefer other conveniences, we suggest you try one of the Yukon's privately-operated RV parks or campgrounds listed in the Yukon Vacation Planner.
Government campgrounds do not have RV dump stations. You can print a copy of the guide Where to Find RV Dump Stations in the Yukon (233 Kb PDF). Copies are also available for pick-up at all Environment Yukon offices and Visitor Information Centres.
Campgrounds with wheelchair accessible outhouses are shown in the facilities chart. Some campgrounds also have wheelchair accessible picnic shelters.
PRE-PAID DAILY CAMPGROUND PERMITS
You can purchase daily campground permits in advance at highway lodges, gas stations, retail stores, in liquor stores in communities outside Whitehorse, and at all Environment Yukon offices. Once you arrive at the campground, fill out the permit, deposit the stub into the vault and hang the receipt stub from your rearview mirror.
SELF-REGISTRATION AT ALL GOVERNMENT CAMPGROUNDS
Everyone - residents and visitors must register.
Here is how you can self-register in all Yukon government campgrounds.
1. Occupy a vacant campsite. Note the campsite number and your vehicle license plate number. Go immediately to the fee station to register.
2. Complete the self-registration envelope with the required information.
3. Place the fee in the envelope, remove the receipt stub, seal the envelope, and place it in the deposit vault.
4. Fill out the receipt stub and hang it from your rearview mirror, facing the window.
ANNUAL CAMPING PERMIT FOR YUKON RESIDENTS
Yukon residents have the option of purchasing an annual $50.00 camping permit. Permits are free for Yukon residents age 65 and older. Annual permits are not available to non-residents.
Residents, by showing their Yukon Health Care card and vehicle plate number, can purchase their annual permit at Yukon government liquor stores in communities outside Whitehorse and at all Environment Yukon offices (in Whitehorse at 10 Burns Road). Annual permit holders are required to register in the same manner (minus the fee) so that visitation and traffic volume information can be obtained.
