Ketza River Territorial Campground — Campbell Highway

Ketza River Territorial Campground sits along the Campbell Highway between Faro and Ross River, positioned perfectly for overlanders running the Ketza River Road into old mine country. It’s a simple, no-frills Yukon Government campground — pit toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and a stretch of spruce forest that gives you genuine solitude most nights. Traffic through here is light compared to the Alaska Highway corridor, so this is one of those spots where you’ll likely have your pick of sites even in peak summer.

The Campbell Highway is paved in stretches and gravel in others; high-clearance is recommended but aggressive 4WD isn’t mandatory in dry conditions. Watch for soft shoulders after heavy rain. Fuel up in Faro or Ross River before committing to the back roads off this corridor — the next reliable pump can be a long way off. Season is May through September.
