Carmacks Hotel & RV Park
Overview
Carmacks Hotel & RV Park serves as a critical and welcoming resting point for travelers navigating the vast, scenic landscapes of the Yukon Territory. Situated in the heart of the village, this facility combines traditional hotel lodging with a practical RV park, offering a seamless bridge between the rugged outdoors and essential modern comforts. It is widely recognized as a reliable service hub for those journeying between Whitehorse and Dawson City, providing a comfortable place to recharge before continuing a northern expedition.
Location & Surroundings
The park is strategically nestled within the village of Carmacks, positioned exactly where the Campbell Highway meets the North Klondike Highway. Its proximity to the mighty Yukon River provides a scenic backdrop and a profound sense of historical significance. The surrounding landscape is characterized by dense subarctic forests and rolling hills, offering a quiet, community-focused atmosphere. This central junction makes it an unavoidable and convenient landmark for anyone exploring the territorial interior.
Amenities & Park Features
Guests will find a range of practical features designed to support the needs of self-contained travelers. The park offers sites equipped with full hookups including 30-amp electricity, water, and sewer connections. Beyond the parking pads, the on-site grocery store and fuel station make it remarkably easy to restock essential supplies without the need to unhitch. The facility also includes a laundromat, private showers, and an on-site restaurant and lounge for those who want a break from meal prep.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
A primary highlight for many visitors is the short drive to the Five Finger Rapids, a famous geological feature and historic navigation hazard for Yukon River paddle-wheelers. Local walking trails along the river bank offer excellent opportunities for photography and wildlife viewing. The area is also deeply steeped in the history of the Klondike Gold Rush, with several interpretive displays around the village that explain the rich cultural heritage of the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location is ideal for long-distance road trippers who prioritize convenience and accessibility over secluded wilderness camping. It is a perfect fit for RVers looking for a well-equipped mid-point to handle chores like laundry and grocery shopping while exploring the Klondike region. If you appreciate having on-site dining and amenities within walking distance of your campsite, this park provides the necessary infrastructure for a comfortable and stress-free Yukon adventure.

Tenting area. Beautiful. Well kept. No dogs at large. Security. Minto* [ my 1st visit]* Stick Gambling Championship.

We stayed in the small RV park with tight spots and 30 and 50 amp full hook ups. The sign, along with a market and fuel station, are on the highway with the Hotel proper being directly behind it. Check in for the RV sites is in the hotel lobby with the sites being behind the hotel. The Yukon River is literally across the road from the RV park. The bathhouse and laundry were just “OK”, but nice to find in this remote location. The Wifi worked well and the cell data was good. This is a good place to stop for the night and break up the trip between Whitehorse and Dawson City.

Bathrooms were really dirty and hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. When I complained I was told they would ask someone to clean them the next day. Not helpful at all. Especially if staying only one night.

Great place to rest. Very basic but quiet place. Organized sites, nice staff, internet not bad, laundry and showers all clean.
