Description
This 36-site roadside campground, at km 72 along the Dempster Highway, is a great base for the self-contained roadside traveler to explore the park and surroundings. Facilities include a cookshack, fire places, tables, pit toilets, bear-proof storage, garbage and recycling bins and water from the river or holding tank. A self-guided interpretive trail, approximately one kilometre in length, introduces the tundra ecosystem, while another connects to the interpretive centre. Weekly interpretive programs and special events often meet at the cookshack.

Not much campers around late September.
A very very nice Campground, we took site n°11 next to the creek, and from there we saw a moose family walking on the other side of the river, what a moment !

Didn't realise it was Friday, and of course it's full. Stayed in the parking lot overnight.
Report Check-InGood campground for $20 a night - just missing showers really! Sites were nice, semi private, and pretty level. We had a van. Starlink wouldn’t work here with the tree obstructions but that’s okay! Right across the highway from the Charcoal Ridge trail that is beautiful!
Report Check-InAs described. Nice campground with a beautiful view. $20. We saw they had a barcode to scan to book a site online after we had paid cash. They have water but it is not potable. Beautiful river running behind our campsite. Somewhat buggy. Would definitely stay here again!
Report Check-InAfter long return trip from Tuk, stopped here again. Private sites, plenty available.
Report Check-InPlenty of available sites when we arrived about 6PM. Picked site #37, nice and level and close to pit toilets and kiosk for payment.
Report Check-InPremier camping de la Dempster Highway, propre au bord d’une rivière. Pas beaucoup de moustiques. First come first serve. 20$
Possibilité de faire du feu. Emplacements grands. Entouré des montagnes
Overflow, all site occupied plus the different parking lot. Will stay at information center. Been inform at tourists information center that boon-docking is illegal on the Dempster highway.
Report Check-Inas all other government campgrounds in the Yukon it is 20 CAN$ / night. The open sites are beautiful with great views, only about a third of the sites taken when we stayed. Sadly no Wifi at the Interpretation Center!
Report Check-InNice Campsite, some sites have great views. Free Firewood. $20 a night. Self registration
Report Check-InCampsite in the mountains with less forest more towards moorland, typical sites with camp tables, firepits, and free firewood (needed - cold evening). More campers than expected, CAD 20, tented, camper, large vehicle, and group sites mixed. Alongside small river. Adjacent to the Park Office and Vistor Centre where you can find useful information on the Dempster Highway conditions, ferries, and also take guided walks with the Rangers.

for water site 13 is the best...12 is a close second
they say boil the water... it seems amazing without.

Stayed 3 nights. Fabulous. Wonderful interpretive centre, wonderful hikes and wonderful campsite!
Report Check-InBeautiful campsite, surrounded on all sides with snow capped mountains this time of year ! Great facilities, busy and only a couple spots for big rv's but lots of spots and a very chill little walk from the camp ground up to a look out
Report Check-InHighly recommend taking the time to stay here and do their little hike/walk that connects to the campground. It’s a beautiful park, and it’s a cold one too!!
Report Check-InFills up pretty quick in summer but they don't turn anyone away, you can camp in the parking lots. Free firewood and free bannock and tea on Wednesday afternoon. Good!
Report Check-InCampground was full so we stayed overnight at the parking of the interpretive Centrum. pit 🚽 and bear proofed garbage, picnique tables and nice people from all over the world. Parking entrance is just 100m south of campground entry parking is for one night very good, you have more privacy on the very nice campground.
Report Check-InAs described great territorial park 12$ a night with free firewood. Many spots and if full you can stay overnight on the visitor center parking lot. Great little hike from site 18 to a glacier lake, stunning !
