Pine Lake Campground — Hotel in Yukon

We had made reservations in advance and pulled into this Yukon Territorial Campground (CG), conveniently located just off the Alaska Highway near Haines Junction. We backed into Site 27, a long and wide gravel pad with plenty of room for our rig, a large picnic table, and a fire pit. All sites at this CG are dry camping only—no hookups—but the beauty and layout more than make up for the lack of services. There are a mix of back-in and pull-through sites, many of which can accommodate larger RVs. Our loop had several big rigs parked comfortably during our stay. There’s no dump station on-site, but two gas stations in Haines Junction (about 10 minutes away) offer free dump access with a fuel fill-up. Water is available in-season at the entrance via a shared spigot. There’s Wifi at the little “Camp Host” structure at the front of the CG, so campers with reservations can get online. We had no cell service on Verizon or T-Mobile, but we were able to position our Starlink for a clean sky view, which worked well throughout our stay. A wooden boardwalk ran from behind our site down to the swimming beach on Pine Lake, which features a small playground, dock, boat ramp, and lovely views of the surrounding mountains. Half the CG is reservable, with the other half first-come, first-served. Free firewood is provided (you'll need to split the logs yourself), and the sites are generously spaced out, offering a peaceful and private setting. Vault toilets were clean and well-maintained. Be sure to stop by the Kluane National Park and Reserve Visitor Centre in Haines Junction for great info on local trails, wildlife, and things to do in the area. The town also offers basic amenities, including gas/diesel, a small grocery/convenience store, and a few restaurants—enough to restock before heading northwest. Beaver Creek, YT (near the Alaska border) has fuel but no grocery or convenience store, so plan ahead.We stayed three nights and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This is easily one of the best CGs we've stayed in to date, and it’s made us rethink how often we stay in Canadian Territorial Parks. We'll definitely be seeking more of these out on our return trip...

Excellent site, huge pitches available many with good privacy. There's a lake with a lovely beach and board walk for longer stays and easy access to the stores at Haines junction including drinking water facilities and a wonderful local bakery and Yukon visitors center. There is so much gorgeous scenery and wildlife in the area there's always plenty to see and do. There is water available on site however it isn't potable and like most of the Yukon in warm weather you will notice mosquitos. We ended up staying 4 nights...

Pros: close to Kluane National Park cheap great little beach and boardwalk great spacious sites free wood

Cons: was a little loud

On a separate note I would add that the rangers are not enforcing the “dog on the leach” rules which was quite disappointing and dangerous. Some guy was letting his pitbull play on the beach with all the kids and a Labrador was...
