Pelly River Crossing | Established Campground

September 6th, 2023 by Wackienne

Peaceful campground, nicely spaced dry campsites, many with view of river and bridge. Well maintained, clean. Walking distance to grocery store. Lovely spot with community garden. Few powered spots blocked off for campground purposes.

Nice little overnight stop. Great location in two ways, by a river and between Dawson City and Whitehorse. Free is a great benefit. AT&T and Verizon have full bars!

Beautiful campground by the river and free. Felt safe also as the community safety patrolled a couple times in the evening.
Beautiful town garden at the end of the campground with sunflowers

Free campground next to the river. No services. Hookup sites are for local workers. No TP in the bathrooms. Sites are level and have picnic tables. 20% full on a July Friday night.

Great FREE campground along the Pelly River. The first 4 spots have electric and water hookups. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There’s good AT&T cell phone reception. And there is also a gas station (Selkirk Centre) with a well-stocked convenience store across the road.

Nice free campground with a lot of sites for all sizes and flat. Seems every site has a table. Very quiet and full bars!

Pellucid River Crossing Campground is a FREE campground and the first 4-5 campsites are full hook ups and yes, FREE!!!

Nous nous sommes arrêté pour 1 nuit. Effectivement un homme est venu nous demander 25$ en nous disant que c'était lui qui entretenait le camping, mais comme j'avais vu les anciens commentaires, nous lui avont dit que partout sur les sites c'était indiqué que c'était gratuit et que si ce n'était pas le cas on changerait de place. Il n'a pas insisté et est reparti. Les premiers sites ont tous les branchements de disponible.

We stopped for 1 night. Indeed a man came to ask us $25 telling us that he was the one who maintained the campsite, but as I had seen the old comments, we told him that everywhere on the sites it was indicated that it was free and that if this was not the case we would change places. He didn't insist and left. The first sites have all the connections available.

Update on my previous post about the price. Apparently there’s a scammer that if Chief of the Selkirk Nation has been trying to get ousted. Do not pay anybody to stay here. The campground is free to stay at.

Pretty place right by the river but no free. It’s now $25 a night for zero hookups. But they need to make a living somehow.

June 7th, 2023 by lorankins

Pretty place by the river but it’s not free any longer. For zero hookups but they need to earn an income somehow.

Pretty spot right by the river but it is not free. $25 a night now for zero hook ups. But they need to earn income somehow.

Free campground on the river. We are in a self-contained 24 ft. class c, We didn't need to use the pit toilets, so no info on those. There's a sign at the entrance saying no fires due to a burn ban. Spent quiet night. We did have a man approach us and try to collect $25. He attempted to make us believe he worked here. When we told him we thought it was free and would move on, he said, "That's okay, I won't charge you." and he walked away.

Nice spot with firewood . 25 dollars now

Grand camping très calme.
Pas mal autonome donc je ne suis pas allée voir l’état des toilettes
Parcontre nous avons payé 25$ au petit matin, un local est venu frappé à la porte pour le paiement.
Fake ou pas, j’ai donné mon 25 pareil 🤷‍♀️

Here’s one beautiful spot for free !
Lots of spaces for all sizes !
Flat areas, pick nick tables and even dry spots for cooking or eating when your in tents ^^
Had the chance too see a northern lights so Amazon experience.
Accès to the river and view on the bridge. Not noise and peaceful …
Also very important clean ! So please keep it that way and respect :)

Not bad at all! I expected worse. Womens pit toilet seemed ok bring toilet paper with you. Mens toilet disgusting. Our site is pretty good with large level area. Free firewood.

July 29th, 2022 by bigrockk

This has the potential to be a very nice spot. Unfortunately it seems no one is looking after the campground at the current time. Pit toilets are unusable extremely dirty. No fires allowed at this time. Good cell service. Still a decent place to stop for the night. Cost is free

July 28th, 2022 by blessedveteran

We stayed here last night. It was almost full when we got here at 10pm. The dogs in the neighborhood next to here barked all night long. The bugs weren't too bad last night in this morning. I have full T-Mobile service here. I did not use the toilets, but they are scattered around the campground. There was a sign when we first came in that said there was a fire. Ban. If you can burn here, when you come, there is free firewood. It is pretty quiet this morning.

Fairly quiet, free campground on the Yukon River in view of the bridge. Good midway stop between Dawson City and Whitehorse.
Free firewood stacked around the campground.

Campsite is open and FREE. Multiple people staying there. Gives the appearance of an old government campsite that no one decided to upkeep anymore.

July 7th, 2022 by exploring509.de

it's open again. would be a nice place, but doesn't like like anybody is taking care. but it's free and a good place to stay along Klondike Hwy with cell service

June 23rd, 2022 by tictocoverlanders

Still free. NO one here to take care of the place. Very nice for a free night. The police did patrol once. Very safe.

July 24th, 2020 by l.chouinard007

Unfortunately the campground is still closed as off today..

July 10th, 2020 by l.chouinard007

CLOSED!!!!! probably because of Covid-19...😕

Nice free campground just on the river in Pelly Crossing. Electricity plugs were not working. There is a bbq and a table in each spot so should be perfect for summer :) We were the only ones staying there that night so really quiet. Great spot

This is a great place to stop. We are in a poptop vehicle and the place is beautiful, right next to the river and it is free. There are fire pits and free wood too.

Not noisy when we were there, some dogs barking and the odd heavy truck.

July 31st, 2019 by sunnyerna

great spot for one night (or more)! wood is still available. there were some dogs barking, but at night of was ok! Toilets available. And still control (once) From the RCPM.

Last review is accurate. We are here in our 43 foot with toad no problems driving around . We got riverview parking on a Wednesday.
There were some folks blasting their karaoke machine and then a drone then more music so I turned up mine. They stopped lol.
Beautiful setting 4bars and lte verizon .

Now that is a nice community campground. Try to buy something to thank them.

Wood, fire rings, tables, pit toilets (not the cleanest, bring toilet paper) and a couple shelters provided.

Free camping. Along the river. Quiet.

July 10th, 2019 by mac-tom

Big nice Places and good Firewood for free. Today the smoke from a forestfire comes over the River. It is stinking so much.

July 3rd, 2019 by brodersenreist.wordpress.com

Great place. Didn‘t heard any dogs. Don’t know how or why, but there are absolutly no mosquitos.

June 27th, 2019 by evdw

Nice organise camping free. On the river nice sun set ... if you stay awake late!

July 21st, 2018 by TheTravelingYogiRN

TMobile Cell service. RMCP patrol through here. Wear earplugs if your sensitive to noise, other side of river has dogs that bark at all hours

June 21st, 2018 by swagamaroo

the place is enormous. as said, couple of powered sites at the beginning but marked as reserved. water taps over there too, water is potable it seems.
very nice, even though it looks a bit run down.
it's for free and there's firewood... I can't ask for anything more :)

August 2nd, 2017 by aimeebdc1

Sweet spot by the river with plenty of lots! Apparently, it's free! Yay! I like that all lots have a picnic table and a fire pit...

July 9th, 2017 by danson

Nice campground, no services except for a couple of outhouses. Good river views from a few of the sites. Not crowded at all, just 3 campers with room for probably 40.

June 14th, 2017 by BootsNCoffee

Nice overnight spot on the river across from gas station and store. Not too secluded and very safe.

May 13th, 2017 by hl.el

Quiet. Only one night. Gas station and food near. No service. Near the river. Wood for fire.

July 25th, 2016 by 4x4pelasestradas

Good for overnight. Free camping. Some slots with electricity but they are indicated as "reserved".
