Campground Facilities There are Government of Yukon roadside campgrounds throughout the territory and several backcountry campgrounds are maintained in Tombstone Territorial Park and along The Thirty Mile section of the Yukon River. Yukon’s privately operated RV parks or campgrounds offer conveniences such as power, water, showers, laundromat, store, sani-dump and Internet. You’ll find a partial list of campgrounds and RV parks in the following pages. Government campgrounds do not have RV dump stations. Ask for a list of dump station locations at Visitor Information Centres. Some campgrounds also have wheelchair-accessible picnic shelters and outhouses. Pick up a copy of A Guide to Yukon Government Campgrounds at any Visitor Information Centre, or download it from www.yukonparks.ca. Self-Registration at All Government Campgrounds Everyone—residents and visitors—must self-register at all Government of Yukon campgrounds. You have two options for payment: deposit payment upon registration, or purchase daily campground permits in advance at highway lodges, gas stations, retail stores, liquor stores (outside Whitehorse), and Environment Yukon offices. Special permits are required for Tombstone Territorial Park backcountry camping and are available for purchase at the Tombstone Interpretive Centre.

Archbould Campgrounds and RV Parks Whether tenting under the midnight sun or motoring in the comfort of a recreational vehicle, we hope you will enjoy the Yukon’s cozy campsites and spectacular mountain scenery. Fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing and boating are always nearby. Government and commercial campgrounds and RV parks are spread throughout the territory along the Yukon’s network of 11 highways. Yukon’s National Parks Yukon is home to three of Canada’s National Parks. Kluane National Park and Reserve Covering an area of 21,980 km2 in Yukon’s southwest region, Kluane National Park and Reserve is home to Mount Logan, Canada’s highest peak. It also contains one of the world’s largest non-polar ice fields. Kluane is part of the traditional territory of the Southern Tutchone people. Ivvavik National Park Ivvavik National Park is the first national park in Canada established as the result of an aboriginal land claim settlement—the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (1984). It is the location of the vast Beringia land mass inhabited by both wildlife and people during the last glacial period 30,000 to 14,000 years ago. Vuntut National Park Located in the northwest corner of the Yukon, Vuntut National Park covers 4,345 km2 and is occupied by the famed Porcupine caribou herd at various times of the year. The park was established in 1995. > On the Road travelyukon.com 27
