Lovely clean park. The guy on site was very helpful and told us how the payment process worked. A nice quiet park. There had been a bear in the area when we went but we didn’t see anything. Beautiful brook running though and plenty of spaces
Lesley Ball
Lovely simple campground around a creek just south of Whitehorse, Yukon. Quiet too.
Bob Pett
Clean and quiet near Whitehorse - loved the walk-in tent sites! Trails provide nice views of the Yukon River, indigenous education and good wildlife viewing (beautiful river otter in the Creek). Little early for the Chinook runs later in July and August.

Government site, clean toilets (vault), firewood, choice of sites with reservation available, no hookups, no water and dump. I love the Yukon government sites, but wish they would have a rv dump. There are not many commercial dumps available anymore. Out of 7 listed on Google I found 2 in Whitehorse, and one of them really did not want us to dump there.

Our Chinese Association organized a barbecue here and participated in the hiking, which was very meaningful.
