Lapie River Canyon — Campbell Highway Crown Land Pullout Camp

The Lapie River cuts a rocky canyon just off the Campbell Highway between Ross River and Faro. It’s one of the few spots on this stretch where the road gives you a real landscape stop instead of just spruce and gravel. A small pullout area sits near the canyon, and the surrounding Yukon Crown land is the kind of place overlanders stretch out for a night. Expect a no-frills stay: no services, no cell signal, and no one around but the river. Bring your own water, pack out everything, and treat the canyon edges with respect.

This is a long, remote highway with few fuel stops, so top off in Watson Lake, Faro, or Ross River before committing to the run. Gravel sections are common and can be rough after heavy rain, and bears are active here, so run clean camp protocols. Exact pullout locations, whether camping is formally permitted at the canyon site, and current conditions aren’t confirmed here. Check with Yukon Government Highways and Public Works or the Ross River community before you settle in.
