Camping Permits

Everyone who stays in a Yukon government campground - residents and visitors alike - must have a permit and must register themselves in their site.

On-site Permit Purchase and Registration

Once you have chosen a vacant campsite, note the campsite number and your vehicle license plate number. Go immediately to the registration station and fill in the daily permit envelope with the required information. Place the fee in the envelope, remove the receipt stub, seal the envelope, and place it in the deposit vault. Then fFill out the receipt stub and attach it to your site number post.

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, register yourself by filling out the permit, depositing the stub into the vault and attaching the receipt to your site number post.

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 still required to register themselves in their site in the same manner as any other camper (minus the fee) so that visitation and traffic volume information can be obtained.
