Tagish
Overview
Tagish is a serene community located in the heart of the Yukon’s Southern Lakes region. The RV facilities here, most notably those along the river, offer a rustic yet comfortable base for exploring the vast northern wilderness. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and deep historical roots, the area provides a quiet alternative to the busier tourist hubs, making it an ideal stop for travelers seeking authentic Yukon hospitality and a slower pace of life.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled on the banks of the Tagish River, the park is surrounded by the rugged beauty of the boreal forest and towering mountain peaks. It is situated conveniently along the Tagish Road, which serves as a scenic link between the Klondike and Alaska Highways. This strategic location allows for easy day trips to neighboring towns while providing a secluded feel. The river here connects Marsh and Tagish Lakes, offering unrivaled waterfront views that change beautifully with the northern light.

The park is designed to accommodate a variety of setups, providing options for both modern rigs and minimalist campers. Visitors can expect to find the following features on-site during their stay:
- Serviced RV sites with power and water connections for convenience.

These features ensure that while you are deep in the Yukon, you still have access to the essentials that make RV travel enjoyable.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor recreation is the primary draw here, with world-class fishing for lake trout and northern pike right at your doorstep. The area is also a prime spot for bird watching, especially during the spectacular spring swan migration.

Best pizza in the Yukon. Love the decor owners are amazing. Definitely worth the 20 km detour from Jake’s corners. Bring your fishing rod the lake trout off the tag of river are some of the best.

We called a day earlier to book a place with a fire pit. The owner seemed really nice and said we can have one. Upon arriving, there was an older gentleman who refused to give us a campground with a fire pit. We didn't stay. The campgrounds are also very close to your neighbors.

I love this place !!! Everything about it says, "Stay here," so I did. If I didn't need to eventually continue my travels... I'd still be here. Ironically, I came across this location being "lost, looking for carcross desert." "My lost was my gain!" 😎👍

We stopped in to eat and while the restaurant was closed, the lovely staff made us the most amazing pizza for the road (they did offer to let us stay in and eat!!) and wow - what a delicious pizza. I’m sad we live so far away, because if I was closer I’d be eating there every week, for both the food and the staff! If I’m ever back in that area - I will be staying here 😃 such a beautiful location and I love the building! That pizza was actually my favourite meal of our entire 4 day trip!

My wife and I randomly decided to visit this place for a bite to eat after fishing off the Tagish bridge. I was surprised to see a full menu with a speciality in pizza. My god, the pizza was delicious. It’s a hand tossed thin crust. Very fresh toppings, lots of choices. My wife had the halibut fish and chips. Amazing! We were just there for lunch so I can’t speak the accommodations but the food and the service and the staff were great! Definitely going back to try more menu items. Was nice to eat by the water. You could even pull your boat up from Tagish lake, dock it, then come in for some food and drinks. Awesome!
