Tatchun Creek Territorial Campground — Klondike Highway

Tatchun Creek Territorial Campground sits on the Klondike Highway roughly halfway between Carmacks and Pelly Crossing — prime territory for anyone running the Nordenskiold River flats or the Dalton Range road out of Pelly Crossing. It’s a classic Yukon government campground: clean pit toilets, fire rings, hand pump water when the season’s right, and the kind of boreal quiet that reminds you why you drove this far north. Not a party spot — most nights you’ll share it with maybe a handful of rigs and a few independent travelers.

Access is straightforward off the Klondike Highway, any rig can get in. Best season is mid-May through September. Water from the hand pump should be treated as a precaution. No hookups, no cell signal worth mentioning. Fills up on summer long weekends, otherwise reliably spacious.
