Great place to stay. A bit quirky with a European flair. Nice sites for tent camping. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The cafe/food truck was an unexpected bonus. The food and libations were well above what I would expect from such a set up. Seems locals stop by just to eat and drink. I can’t blame them. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay here after our long trip up to Tuktoyuktuk. Very welcoming and friendly people and amenities helped it feel like a home-away-from-home while we cleaned up and rested before continuing on our journey. Sophie answered all our questions and made us feel welcomed. We stayed in a dry site which was beautifully set in the trees. Live music on the weekend and excellent food was a bonus! Wood-fired pizza by Steve was amazing. The owners, Steve and Sandra, are culinary experts and you can also buy Sandra's preserves to take home and share. The washroom and shower area is set up so you feel relaxed in your own bathroom. There are enough rooms that we never had to wait. The coin laundry was reasonably priced. Overall, great stay!

If you like food, stay here! Authentic European dishes that are all homemade and cooked by French chefs visiting for the summer. Baguette and croissants fresh baked in the morning. Each night there is a special dish to go along with German sausages, laberkase, real neapolitan pizza, and Belgian fries. If I told my wife I had a dream that this food Mecca was in Yukon, she’d laugh. But it is real. The park is very nice . The owners and staff are great. There is a “community” room which we saw families enjoy. Private bathrooms and showers too.

Absolutely loved staying here. The laundry and bath/shower rooms were clean and well organized. The owners were super nice. The currywurst from the Cork and Fork food trailer was amazing. They also have a cute convenience store that sells Chef Sandra(one of the owners)’s homemade jam. I bought a few and just tried the Apple Lavender one — it was so delicious! I’ll definitely make sure to stay here again when I get the chance.

We have enjoyed every minute of time at Caribou RV park. Owners and staff are amazing and responsive. Washrooms are spotless with regular cleaning schedules, laundry room and sink area are also very clean and well maintained. It was great to have kitchen size sinks to wash dishes since our last visit the cabins and our RV were winterized. Our dogs love their adventures and it was nice to have a dog friendly environment for the girls to enjoy themselves. There is a playground and very well behaved children around that added to the feeling of home with a friendly family environment. In the summer their food truck has amazing food! We cannot say enough nice things about Caribou RV park. Highly recommend!!
