Marsh Lake Campground

PotvinPlan (Guy & Shirley)

My Campground Review Park: Marsh Lake, Whitehorse YK Date: July 22, 2025 Our equipment: 5th-wheel, 30 ft RV Costs: $18 per night all-in, including firewood! Loop, Site & Services: Several loops; we stayed on Site 47. Overall: This is a good-sized park used mostly by locals from Whitehorse. Although busy on weekends, the park almost empties on weekdays. We were disappointed the campground area had no water taps. The adjacent day-use area has a blue-jug filling station. I managed to fill my RV’s Nautilus system (a closed system requiring a garden-hose attachment) using a Camco Water Bandit. 1. Registration office: Self-service kiosk; easy to find. No staff on site (only security guard). 2. Interior park roads: Gravel surface (dusty) but wide enough to back into sites. A few pull-throughs available. 3. Open sky vs. treed canopy: Mostly mature spruce. Some sites offer better sun exposure—ideal if you rely on solar (see reservation website – site pics). 4. Electric & off grid: No services or hookups on any site. 5. Cell reception (including Bell, Rogers): Rogers: no service (typical for the North). Bell: three bars (signal reached from Whitehorse, about 30 minutes away). 6. Noise restrictions: Generators permitted only from 9 AM–11 AM and from 5 PM–8 PM. Quiet hours enforced outside these windows. 7. Traffic within park: Moderate weekend traffic from local campers, whipping up dust from gravel roads. 8. Showers & toilet facilities: No showers; no flush toilets on site. 9. Dry toilets: Compost-style dry toilets only (very modest builds, .. 'low seats' , awkward T.paper location and rather stinky) scattered throughout the campground. 10. Laundry facility: None. 11. Bike & hiking trails within park: None starting in the park. A few nearby hikes, consult All Trails for local loops. 12. Body of water: Marsh Lake beach is adjacent (partially connected to the campground) with a pebble shoreline in front of a cottage row. The water is fairly cold; we did not swim. 13. Water filling and sani-station: No sani-station (frustrating). A free blue-jug water-refill station is available in the adjoining day-use area.

Great camping spot, close to town and with nice and long sandy beaches. Lovely to relax and set up an easy camp. Love that for $18/night you get unlimited access to firewood, pic nic table, outhouse and a fire ring!!!

I had a great experience in this camping ground. You gotta pay a fee for staying here, I believe it is around $20 dollars per night, you can pay by cash or pay online. Good news is that internet still works here. It’s is very organized and clean, also you can make some fire. There is some public bathrooms you can use. You can walk to Army beach which is very chill. It is a very calm place. I would like to go back there again

Just a short drive from Whitehorse! Wow!! What a huge lake, great scenery, beautiful sandy long beach. We went during the week and it was not crowded. Lots of parking. Beautiful scenery. Restrooms/change rooms. Bring your own food and beverages-didn’t see any store close by.
