For a look at local RV parks...
There are three RV parks in the Whitehorse area: (not listed in any particular order)
Hi-Country
RV Park is noted for its treed sites, and is located close in to town, with the entrance
directly across the Alaska highway from the south entrance
(Robert Service Way) that leads into downtown Whitehorse. Co-owner
Lynette King works hard to stock the gift shop with high quality
merchandise, some of it hand-made by Yukon artists that you just won't find
anywhere else. Glass Magnum mobile services are available here.
Sourdough
Country RV park is a wooded park-like
setting located 15 minutes
south of Whitehorse, about 3/4 mile before the junction of the Alaska Highway
and the road to Skagway (the South Klondike Highway). This is a lovely,
quiet spot to camp with either RV or tent. Glass Magnum mobile services
are available here.
The
Wolf's Den restaurant adjacent to the
park enjoys a good reputation in the community for fine dining.
Pioneer
RV Park is located just south of Whitehorse at KM 1414.7 or Historic
Mile 911. Not noticeable at first glance are the sites above the park in
the trees, so you might ask to see if one of them will work for you. Check
their website for a long list of many different amenities. Glass Magnum
mobile services are available here.

Things you shouldn't miss out on the road as you travel to and from The Yukon...
Contact Creek Lodge is located about 40 minutes east of Watson Lake,
and if you are coming in from Fort Nelson, it is a welcome sight when your fuel
gauge is getting low! We like to patronize these folks because they work
hard to stay open year 'round; besides, the fuel here is cheaper than you will
find in Watson Lake.
Watson Lake has two RV parks to choose from: Campground Services,
which is on the right just as you come into town, and the Downtown RV
park, which is right in town across the road from Wye Lake. Neither park
has a website, but a Google search will provide plenty of reviews.
Nugget City RV park is located at
Mile 650, or 1/2 mile west of the junction with Highway 37 (the Cassiar), which
puts it about 15 minutes outside Watson Lake. Their Northern Beaver Post
gift shop is probably one of the largest of its kind in the Yukon. They
have lots to offer and a variety of lodging available besides RV sites, so be
sure to check their website for more details.`
Rancheria Lodge, located at Mile 710, is another good place to
stop for a bite to eat and fuel if you need it.
Yukon Motel
and RV Park is located on
the right immediately after you cross the bridge (with the steel grating
for deck surface) into Teslin. Try to catch the wildlife exhibit in their museum and gift
shop...it's worth the stop!
Just past the town of Teslin is
Mukluk Annie's. Unfortunately, they are now
closed.

A little further up the
road toward Whitehorse, but still along the shore of Teslin Lake, you will find
Dawson
Peaks
Resort.
This is a beautiful, quiet spot, with cabins on the lakeshore. You will
enjoy owners Dave and Carolyn's hospitality, and if you nothing else, stop in
and have some of her home-made
rhubarb pie (heated up with ice cream on it, of course)!
About three hours north of Whitehorse, toward Alaska
along the shores of Kluane ("clue-ah-nee") Lake, is
Destruction Bay Lodge. Host Loren Maluorno
puts on a marinated baron of beef barbeque, followed by live
entertainment, most evenings. This is a good place to stop and relax for a
couple of days. Reservations are advised by calling them at (867)
841-5332.
