Marsh Lake Campground — Hotel in Yukon

My Campground Review Park: Marsh Lake, Whitehorse YK Date: July 22, 2025 Our equipment: 5th-wheel, 30 ft RV Costs: $18 per night all-in, including firewood! Loop, Site & Services: Several loops; we stayed on Site 47. Overall: This is a good-sized park used mostly by locals from Whitehorse. Although busy on weekends, the park almost empties on weekdays. We were disappointed the campground area had no water taps. The adjacent day-use area has a blue-jug filling station. I managed to fill my RV’s Nautilus system (a closed system requiring a garden-hose attachment) using a Camco Water Bandit. Registration office: Self-service kiosk; easy to find. No staff on site (only security guard). Interior park roads: Gravel surface (dusty) but wide enough to back into sites. A few pull-throughs available. Open sky vs. treed canopy: Mostly mature spruce. Some sites offer better sun exposure—ideal if you rely on solar (see reservation website – site pics). Electric & off grid: No services or hookups on any site. Cell reception (including Bell, Rogers): Rogers: no service (typical for the North). Bell: three bars (signal reached from Whitehorse, about 30 minutes away). Noise restrictions: Generators permitted only from 9 AM–11 AM and from 5 PM–8 PM. Quiet hours enforced outside these windows. Traffic within park: Moderate weekend traffic from local campers, whipping up dust from gravel roads. Showers & toilet facilities: No showers; no flush toilets on site. Dry toilets: Compost-style dry toilets only (very modest builds, .. 'low seats' , awkward T.paper location and rather stinky) scattered throughout the campground. Laundry facility: None. Bike & hiking trails within park: None starting in the park. A few nearby hikes, consult All Trails for local loops. Body of water: Marsh Lake beach is adjacent (partially connected to the campground) with a pebble shoreline in front of a cottage row. The water is fairly cold; we did not swim. Water filling and sani-station: No sani-station (frustrating). A free blue-jug water-refill station is available in the adjoining...

We camped at Twin and Marsh Lakes. This season (2022) Twin Lakes was in a mess. However, maybe major improvements are being made. The wood for campfires was scarce. The wood was large, wet . We (my husband and I) as well as other Seniors could not understand why these huge tree trunks was put into the wood bins at both lakes. Even, with the ban on folks going to the rec. areas in Marsh Lake, Why was the camp grounds not serviced? Especially with the fee hikes. Large (logs) of fire wood just left in the camp sites. The bathrooms were well maintained! Maybe with the new fees Y.T.G. could level out some of the sites. Just a thought. PS--couldn't get a space in Wolf Creek. Had Grand kids. And forget about Fox Lake....same thing!!! Cut short trip to Twin and Marsh, not very nice!!!!! And if these are examples of Yukon camp grounds, not checking any...

We arrive late and we're pleased to see they still had open campsites. For $12 a night Canadian this Campground in the woods next to the lake was a great deal.

Unlike so many RV parks that seem more like a parking lot with plugins this was in the wooded area felt very outdoorsy you were separated from other campers far enough and it was certainly better than being in the Walmart parking lot.

The campground has bathrooms as well as free firewood but remember you've got to split it and then bring your...
