Beautiful campsite with nice facilities. you will hear the river all night which is pretty great. It is a very scenic and clean campsite at walk-in only from the parking lot which is nice. Only downside is the planes flying over from the airport.
Shawna Bradshaw
Was a wonderful camping site. Moving to Alaska from the lower 48 and only stayed here for 1 night on a weekday. Professionally ran. Had everything a camper could need including a restaurant style dish pit to wash your pots, pans, water bottles, dog bowls or whatever. All water is safe to drink on the property. Facilities are a bit old, but triggered a bit of nostalgia for summer camp as a kid. Campsites are basically big sand boxes and super soft, perfect for a sleeping bag. Showers are reasonably priced. Will go back and make it a vacation spot.

Relaxed campground a short walk from Whitehorse city centre. Fantastic trails and river access just off campsite. Decent bathrooms/showers. Only walk-in sites but some sites have parking quite close. Look out for the sneaky fox.
Johanna Marvin
We really enjoyed the campsite near the river. The kids loved choosing their own campsite from a variety of options. You do have to walk in, but none of the sites are far from the cars. We liked seeing the resident fox wandering around on his rounds.
