Stayed here three nights over Canada Day weekend. We drove both loops and stayed in the upper loop (not next to the lake). This loop seemed to have more pull through sites and sites were well spaced. It was never full, pretty quiet, met our needs. There were a fair amount of mosquitoes but tis the season. The trail down to the other campground loop was a bit overgrown, but passable with a bit of bushwhacking.
Do yourself a favor and buy a few camping passes online and save $2 a night on campsite fee.

Watch for sign. Long drive back to each loop. Dusty washboard gravel road. Mosquitoes and flies kept us from being outside. Many nice pull thru sites. No lake views.

Pet friendly, free firewood, nice sites. Clean outhouses, picnic tables at every site and day use area with a playground. My dog loved it here and the mosquitoes weren’t bad with a citronella candle and fire burning!

Nice campsite. The road getting into the campsite is unpaved so you may want to take it a bit slow. I stayed here in early May as well as early September and enjoyed both stays. In early May I was about the only person at the campsite, but in September there was a good handful of other campers there. The sites are pretty level and they have firewood as well. It was in the woods, dark, quiet, and safe. I got decent signal and it cost me $15 USD for 1 night. I would stay here again. Also, Watson lake is beautiful!

What Mosquitoes? Nice Park Lots Of Spaces Big Rig Friendly Many Level Sites Many Uneven Overall Good . Free Wood Spaced Apart From Next Site. I Was Worried About David Review About Mosquitoes But We Have Encountered None Or Very Few Which Is The Norm Next To A Lake. As Far The Lake Itself There Are No Beaches And Only A Boat Launch. That Is It. So if you think to get a water front or near to water this ain’t for you. Bathrooms were clean . 20 Canadian Dollars.
There is no dumpsite here but there is a free one in the city.

Great sites in the forest, large, private. Quiet, not far from town.
Clean bathrooms and lots of firewood.
I can’t say enough about Yukon Parks! They are the best!
Kayaked on the lake, saw eagles. Super

The road in was a bit rough, not terrible, but there are some potholes. It had rained so at least it was not dusty. There are 2 loops, almost like 2 campgrounds. There is a trail connecting the two loops, which was a bit overgrown with some fallen trees. The first loop had 35 sites and was empty when we drove through in the early afternoon. The loop by the lake had 20 sites and all but empty as well. We took the big pull through, #46 that had a trail down to the boat launch with a dock, lake access and a play area. This loop filled to 3/4 full by the evening.
Clean and stocked pit toilets, water, free wood, picnic table, fire pit, mostly level sites, big rig friendly, some pull through sites and mosquitos.
We paid $18 online (or buy at a vendor), $20 if you pay on site. We had 3-4 bars of 3G.
