This is a great little campground along the AK Hwy at mile Km 1042. It is about 20 miles (west) from the junction of the Cassiar Hwy. and about 30 miles from Watson Lake. We had a pull thru that was about 70 foot long. We were right next to the creek. They have pit toilets and a water pump. There are bins of free firewood. There is no dump station. There are picnic tables and fire pits. We didn't have to unhook. Its a great stop over for the night or a good spot to just site and relax for a few days. There is a little highway noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a pleasant place to stay. No shade trees but we prefer it that way and the sites were plenty long and very level. We got several TV stations on their satellite system. Wi-Fi is up in the main building only but there are multiple places to set your PC at either standing or sitting including in the laundry room where you can plug into a power strip and I believe hard wire into their line. This is a neat as a pin type place and we would return. The Sign Post Forest and the Northern Lights Center are both in easy walking distance. Price cited is actually $27.25 a night with our Good Sam discount. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here once before so knew it was nothing more than a big gravel parking lot. Wi-Fi worked fine at our site despite a low signal, power was OK, and water pressure was adequate. This park is very clean, sites are level, and the owner maintains it very well. In addition to the looks of the park the major problem is that the pull-thru sites are not 25 feet wide they are about 15 feet wide and when you step out of your door the hookups including sewer are right there. The pull-thru sites do fill up with big rigs by late afternoon. It is an easy in and out for our 33 foot 5th wheel. The park is walking distance to the Sign Post Forest, Visitor's Center, and the grocery store. This is the only park in Watson Lake that we could get to respond in order to make a reservation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Basically a parking lot of pull through sites with full hookups. The Wifi didn't work unless you went up to the building. There are very nice bathrooms, showers and a nice laundry room. The staff was very friendly and recommended a gas station that saved us a bundle. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Okay place for an overnight stop. It's just a gravel parking lot. The facilities were very clean and the WIFI worked well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate is based on flyer, we were in a caravan. This is a big gravel lot and large rigs are packed tight, real tight. Wi-fi is central only, not from rig. Basically a somewhat ok stopping point on the way to better things. Just keep on trucking, it does get better. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy entry and exit, however it's easy to miss the entry road when westbound. Great host, offered local discount and information for next leg. Sites are close, but OK. Free car and RV wash (which was badly needed). Good location with everything in walking distance. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Plenty of room for big rigs, but the sites are close. Wifi only in the laundry. Cable TV not much. Best feature is free spot to wash RV and auto. Campground even supplies hose and bucket! Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a gravel lot with plenty of turning room. There is an RV wash pit with hose, and you supply soap. Wi-Fi is weak but works in the office building. It's done that way on purpose as a local apartment house started using the system. Then the owner went to a password system, and the campers gave password to apt house. The owners are nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a dirt campground with tight sites. But the owner, is very knowledgeable about the conditions on the AlCan highway and every campsite within 200 miles of Watson Lake. He also owns the fast food restaurant across the street. Close to a grocery store and the sign post display. Restrooms and showers were very clean, Laundry room was also clean. I would recommed this campsite. We stayed in a motor home. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is nothing special and expensive but the location is close to the sign post forest and a decent little grocery store. The pull thru sites are FHU, dirt/gravel, level and long enough so that you don't have to un-hook if you don't want to but extremely narrow and the park felt very cramped when it got fuller in the evening. The back-in sites are equally narrow and if you're a motorhome you have to unhitch your toad. Wi-Fi does not reach most of the sites but you can get it in the laundry room. The bad news is that the laundry was very crowded with people doing laundry and using Wi-Fi (even at 11:30 at night), the good news is that the laundry room is open 24 hrs so if you wait until the later hours you can probably get in. We got five or six TV channels with their SATV. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large gravel park with mostly pull-throughs. Free RV washing station. They give an Escapees (15%) discount. Easy, convenient, plenty of room for any size rig, very pleasant staff. Adjacent to a supermarket. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is your basic cleared lot, easy in and easy out. The staff here is exceptional. You won't find cleaner restrooms on the continent and they clean them many times throughout the day. The men's restroom was so nice, that twice towards the beginning of my stay when I first walked in, I quickly backed out and double checked to make sure I wasn't in the lady's room... We stayed here a few nights on account of a broken RV, we had to wait for a welder to arrive in town. In the meantime we were given a slight discount, and an employee gave us a large box of Archie Comic Books to read. That gift was a wonderful blessing considering there wasn't much else to do in Watson Lake with my four kids I was traveling with. I highly recommend this park and did in fact return a month later. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a funny place, going in you would wonder but once you get past all the abandoned buildings up front and into the campground it is nice. Huge level pull-thru will W/S/E with trees between and little noise from either the Alaska or Cassiar. Good jumping off point for the journey down the Cassiar. We did not use showers or restrooms so no comment is available. We would camp here again We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an old campground but in pretty good shape. The interior roads are gravel and in fair condition and there are level gravel sites with trees between. Our pull-thru site was very long with plenty of room for our big rig, slides and truck and there was nice space between sites. For full hookups (30 amps), I felt their price was extremely reasonable. The bathrooms were old fashioned but clean as was the laundry room, although there were several machines broken. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an OK RV park for one night. The sites are easy pull thru and level. The bath room was really old and use questionable. The laundry facilities were poor with many machines out of service. It was an old park that has been neglected. They do sell fuel and campers receive a 2 cent discount. We stayed here one night on our way to Hyder, AK to see the bears. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had expected this campground to be a big gravel pit from previous posts and that Wi-Fi would be available free but this was not the case. There are several rows of pull-thru sites under the pine trees and a large area out in the open with sites very close together. We had a long pull-thru under the trees which was easy to get in and out of but it was very un-level front to back. The Wi-Fi was $10/night so we passed on that. The sites weren't on top of each other and because there were only 7 of us they assigned sites with vacant ones in between. There are no sewers but the dump station was easy to get into and out of. If we were to return to Watson Lake we would stay here rather than the Downtown RV Park where you were so close you could hardly open your door and there were no trees. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here in our 45' motorcoach. Plenty of elbow room and easy access. Excellent wi-fi, electric and water, sani-dump only, good restaraunt on site, nice gift store. Probably the Best campground in Watson Lake. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not sure of rate, we were part of a caravan. Another one nighter. Big gravel lot, but sites are roomy compared with other places. Only downside is you need to use your toad to get into Watson Lake. So stop on your way by, not a lot in town. Small store, gas, and sign post forest. A couple of our crew had oil changes at Camper Services and were very pleased with the owner and service (he came in on a Sunday for them). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very large campground with plenty of room. The facilities are great. There is a little trail behind the campground to walk. The campground is one large gravel pit with a few trees here and there. The restaurant & shop are great, but the food is very expensive. However, the campground fees are not expensive. We will stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a friendly, family-owned campground. There is a great gift shop. The restrooms and showers are very clean. It is at Mile Post 650. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate reflects Canadian Dollar Price and includes a $5 charge for WiFi and tax at Good Sams discount. The WiFi is an open signal but I was honest when I checked in and requested a site with a good signal thus the $5 charge. The Cable TV is fair,not a great number of channels but better than most Canadian Campgrounds and included ABC & CBS (US). There is no on site sewer so during busy times you will have to wait your turn to dump. There is a wash area $2 for 2 minutes.....There is also a restaurant with friendly service. Great for big rigs as sites are super-long and if you have a big rig you can keep your tow vehicle attached if you are just stopping for the nite. I did not use the laundry but quoted price is $2.50 for washer and dryers. There is a charge for showers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wide open park, located behind the store/station. Not much to it but will never stay there again because of how rude the cook at the diner inside the store was to us!!!! The girls up front at the store were very nice We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have a 34 foot 5th wheel. The rock/gravel camp sites are large, quiet, and spacious. The are no shaded sites and it is a nice campground when you are on the way to Alaska. There is a convenience store on site and they give a discount on the fuel charges to their campers. It is just across the street from the famous Watson's Sign Post Forest where travelers have posted their signs with the thousands of others over the years. We didn't use the laundry or bathrooms/shower facilities. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice, very treed campground close to Watson Lake. Sites were gravel and fairly level. Interior roads were fair. They have pull thru sites but unfortunately, the site they gave us required a tight "S" turn which necessitated us having to back in-a small nuisance since we told them at check-in that our rig was large. Also very close for us to park the truck without hanging out in the road. But there was nice space between sites. The bathrooms were cleaned OK, but to shower was $2 for 5 minutes in a small cubicle in a trailer. They did have a very well stocked store and most prices were reasonable for area. Wi-Fi excellent. We would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Just opened this week. They where still cleaning up leaves etc.. Friendly staff. Fair gravel roads with fairly level sites with much shade. They have a truck/RV wash, but it wasn't working yet. The wi-fi was great. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
For being way up in the wilderness of the Yukon, this campground is a respite for the weary who are going west from Ft. Nelson or east from Whitehorse. The organization of the sites in between the spruce trees is a bit confusing, but the map helps a lot. Most sites have full hookups, and are quite level. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Such a welcome relief to arrive at a real campground with wide staggered sites. The campground sites give privacy with trees all around, making this camp feel like you're once again camping and with all the facilities you'd expect in the Yukon. Wi-Fi worked perfectly with an excellent signal at our site. On connecting you get a choice of two wi-fi points so you can choose the best strength. Look behind the garage for this campground. Staff are friendly. Check out the Northern Light show in town. It's a "must see." We would certainly camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is nicely treed and quite pleasant, but the infrastructure is extremely outdated. No cable TV, only CBC over the air, weak 15 amp service and water pressure so low we used our own pump. Weak wifi available only near the office, but the clerk said they would attempt to broadcast it throughout the park this season (good luck with that!) We camped here in a Motorhome.
Site had 15 amp power on a shared post with neighbour. Fuel discount of 3 cents per litre at Campground Services gas station for RV registered guests. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has an interesting layout, but seems to work. Low, to very low water pressure, we filled our tank and used our pump. There is one TV station and Wi-Fi in the office, which works well. Only complaint is their help needs some costumer service training. The young lady said maybe 5 words to us, she was more interested in the young man who was there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of two parks in town, 2 miles east of downtown, the first one you'll come to if heading west on the highway. A variety of sites laid out in a helter skelter manner. Plenty of shade, grass between most sites, picnic tables, some fire pits, free WiFi in the store. The water pressure was a bit low but acceptable and there was only 1 TV channel. The other park in town supposedly has better pressure and more channels but is basically a big gravel lot, no campground ambiance. Campground Services sells fuel and provides repair services. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Real nice place, lots of trees, a very nice play area for kids, staff is friendly and helpful. No TV, Wi-Fi wasn't available while I was there but they said they were getting their modem hooked up soon (due to high costs, they cancel their wi-fi service during the winter (understandable, and didn't have it quite yet when I got there). I like this place a lot, but when I discovered the RV needed repair and I was going to have to spend a few more nights in town, I moved to a park with TV for the kid's sake. I recommend this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great price, but you’re basically camping dry. Still, it’s a beautiful location, and the campsites are very private. You’re far from the main road, so there’s no road noise, but it’s a long, slow drive to your campsite on a gravel road. You can dump for free at Wye Lake, a municipal park a few miles away. Wye Lake also has potable water if you need to fill your tank ahead of time. The Watson Lake campground has water, but it needs to be boiled for 5-15 minutes (according to different signs). They had a mix of back-in and pull-through slots. The pull-throughs were arcs off the main trail, but there was plenty of room for our longish truck and travel trailer, and we could easily put out our slides. You pay for your spot by filling out a form and putting money through a slot, so we never really interacted with the park rangers. We got most of our information about the park from the Watson Lake Visitor Center (next to the Signpost Forest). We would happily stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
