Teslin Lake Government Campground

We stayed here 8/6/22

Another typical Yukon campground. Big rig friendly, mostly long back in sites and a few pullout sites, some with lake views, table, fire pit, pit toilets, free fire wood, picnic shelter, bear boxes, trash, easy access, some road noise. We arrived on a Saturday to a mostly empty campground, but it did fill by evening and then we all cleared out the next morning. Handicapped sites can be used by anyone after 7:00 pm.

The fee is $20 if paid on sight and $18 if paid online. The Verizon cell service varied from 1-2 bars making it VERY difficult to buy a camping pass online, so be patient!

We did not really find great lake access from the campground but there was a boat launch with beach access just north of the campground after the stream and some private property.

There is a rest stop at the entrance where you could also camp as well as across the street.

Teslin was a stopover on the drive from Watson Lake to Whitehorse. While we were here, we visited both the George Johnston Museum and the Tinglit Heritage Centre - both were excellent.
We were able to get a pull by site near the lake (fairly level). It easily was long enough for our motorhome + toad so we didn’t need to unhook. The site behind us fit a 42’ rig towing. The sites were narrow though - neither of us were able to put out the drivers side slides. The pull by’s in the top level looked like they were wider.
I did notice some road noise when we first arrived - there is also a rest stop at the entrance so there was traffic in and out. I didn’t notice anything at night.
We could see the lake from our window but also took the short path down to the beach. It was very clean and made a great little walk.
We arrived around 3 and pretty much had our choice of sites. The campground did fill up later in the evening.

We thought this stop would break up the drive from Watson Lake to Carcross so spent 1 night here. Sites are long and big rig friendly but a little narrow, and spaced pretty far apart (much better than a parking lot RV park). There is a water pump with a sign that says to boil the water for at least 1 minute. Firewood comes with the site. Most sites are back in but there are a few pullout style sites. You can hear the road during the day but is quiet at night. The lake is visible through the trees but it's a hike down and back up. Pleasantly surprised that we have cell service, Bell 3 bars.

This is another beautiful gouvernement campground with large leveled sites (some pull outs), picnic tables, fire rinks (wood included) by a lake. It is located right by the Alaska Highway so you hear the vehicles and trucs drive by, but it is pretty quiet at night. Cell service with Bell is great (3 bars LTE). The lake is beautiful (site 24 has a private trail that leads right to the beach).
