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.
