Camping near Marsh Lake, Yukon
Marsh Lake sits along the Alaska Highway southeast of Whitehorse, part of the Yukon River corridor once used by Klondike gold seekers. The area is known for a long sandy beach, swimmable water in summer, and a large trumpeter swan migration each spring at M'Clintock Bay. RV travellers use it as a quieter base than the capital, with easy day-trip access to Whitehorse services and the South Klondike Highway toward Skagway.
The closest option is Marsh Lake Campground and Recreation Site, a Yukon Parks frontcountry campground at Km 1379 of the Alaska Highway, with two loops of sites set beside the lake. A short trail and footbridge connect the campground to the adjacent recreation site, which has a sandy beach, picnic area, playground, and swimming area with no lifeguard.
Beyond Marsh Lake itself, RVers commonly extend the trip south along the South Klondike Highway, where Tagish Lake Campground, Six Mile River Resort, Conrad Campground, and Spirit Lake Motel, Restaurant and RV Park offer additional shoreline and highway-adjacent sites.
Things to do around Marsh Lake
The main draws are lake-based: swimming from the sandy beach at the Marsh Lake Recreation Site, paddling, and boat launching. M'Clintock Bay is a major migratory stop for thousands of trumpeter swans and other waterbirds, and the nearby Swan Haven Interpretive Centre operates in April at the peak of the migration.
Short trails link the campground loops to the beach and shoreline. Fishing is common on Marsh Lake and the connected Tagish and Bennett lake systems to the south. Wildlife viewing includes waterfowl, moose, and bears in the surrounding boreal forest.
Day trips run north to Whitehorse for groceries, fuel, dump stations, and attractions such as the SS Klondike and the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, or south on the South Klondike Highway toward Carcross, Emerald Lake, and the Alaska panhandle.

The Yukon Parks frontcountry camping season generally runs from mid-May through mid-September, with shoulder access at either end depending on snow and road conditions. Outside these dates, sites are not serviced, water is off, and access can be limited.
Spring, especially April into early May, is the swan migration period at M'Clintock Bay, but lake ice and cold nights are still typical. Summer, roughly late June through mid-August, delivers the warmest weather, swimmable water, and long daylight hours around the solstice, and it is also the busiest booking period. Weekends fill quickly at Marsh Lake Campground, which Travel Yukon flags as very popular.
Early fall brings cool nights, fall colour, aurora potential as darkness returns, and fewer crowds, but campers should watch for early frost, snow at higher elevations, and reduced services as the season winds down.

Great unit, ran well, had what we needed.

Great experience. Everything was as advertised. Would definitely recommend to others.
JESSE H. - May 2026
The trailer was very clean and well stocked. Appreciated the drop off and pickup of the trailer. We would definitely recommend to others.
Lara P. - Jul 2026
Renting the Wolfpup camper-trailer for 1 week was an absolute breeze from start to finish. Leigh and Kenzie were incredibly accommodating and always provided fast, helpful responses to my questions. Everything was exactly as explained, if not better, making the trip completely smooth and enjoyable. The trailer was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and every amenity was thoughtfully provided — loved the awning! The drop-off and pick-up service was so convenient. Thankyou! 😊😊😊

How to book a site
Marsh Lake Campground is one of six road-accessible Yukon Parks frontcountry campgrounds with reservable sites, booked through yukon.goingtocamp.com or the toll-free call centre at 1-888-352-0532. Fifty per cent of sites at participating campgrounds are reservable in advance, with the remainder held as first-come, first-served. A MyYukon account is required for online bookings.
Reservations can be made in seven-day blocks. Campers must self-check-in and register their permit before noon on the day after the scheduled arrival date, or the reservation is cancelled without refund and the site is released.
Private campgrounds in the area, such as Six Mile River Resort and Spirit Lake Motel, Restaurant and RV Park, are booked directly with the operator and generally offer more RV-oriented services than territorial sites.
What to expect on-site
Yukon Parks frontcountry campgrounds, including Marsh Lake Campground, do not offer water, electric, or sewer hookups at individual sites. Expect gravel pads, picnic tables, fire rings with firewood included in the nightly permit, outhouses, and potable water at a shared tap. Generators are not permitted at the recreation site, and there is no lifeguard at the swimming beach.
RVers who need full hookups, dump stations, showers, or laundry should plan around private options such as Six Mile River Resort or Spirit Lake Motel, Restaurant and RV Park along the South Klondike Highway, or top up services in Whitehorse before heading out.
Cell coverage is patchy once off the main highway corridor, bears are active in the area, and food and scented items must be stored securely. Nights stay bright through midsummer and can drop close to freezing in shoulder seasons.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Marsh Lake, YT
How much does an RV rental in Marsh Lake typically cost?
An RV rental in Marsh Lake is often more affordable than you'd expect for such a remote Yukon destination. Travel trailers usually start around $125 to $175 CAD per night, while Class C motorhomes typically run $200 to $325 CAD per night, with pricing peaking in July and August when the midnight sun draws the biggest crowds. To find a cheap RV rental in Marsh Lake, target the shoulder seasons of late May, early June, or September, when nightly rates can drop 20 to 30 percent and campgrounds are noticeably quieter. Pro tip: weekly bookings on RVezy often unlock host discounts, and many Whitehorse-area hosts offer delivery to Marsh Lake for a reasonable fee.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Marsh%20Lake%2C%20YukonWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Marsh Lake, Yukon?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular Class 5 driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Marsh Lake, Yukon. There's no special RV endorsement or commercial license required, even for larger Class A or Class C motorhomes. To book on RVezy, approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified securely through the platform during checkout. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home-country driver's license, and consider an International Driving Permit from your local auto association before you fly into Whitehorse (Erik Nielsen) International Airport, about 40 minutes from Marsh Lake. Most travelers are surprised how simple the process is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Marsh Lake protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, and this is one of the best reasons to book through RVezy. Every RV rental in Marsh Lake includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, which is a huge confidence boost when you're heading into Yukon wilderness along the Alaska Highway. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV, and during checkout you'll choose the coverage level that fits your trip, whether that's a quick weekend at Marsh Lake Campground or a two-week loop through Kluane National Park. Pro tip: download offline maps before leaving Whitehorse, since cell service thins out fast past M'Clintock Bay.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Marsh Lake RV booking?
Booking your Marsh Lake RV trip is low-risk because RVezy sets a standardized cancellation policy for every reservation, so the rules don't change from host to host. There's a grace-period window after booking where you can receive a full refund, and the level of refund after that depends on how far in advance you cancel. If a host cancels your booking, RVezy refunds the guest or provides travel credits. Full details are in the RVezy Help Center and your booking confirmation. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best motorhome rental in Marsh Lake, since prime July dates at lakefront sites sell out months in advance.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Marsh Lake RV trip?
Yes, the Yukon is wonderfully dog-friendly, and finding a pet-friendly RV rental in Marsh Lake is easy on RVezy. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search, and you'll see listings from hosts who welcome four-legged travelers (some charge a small pet cleaning fee, clearly shown before you book). Dogs are welcome at Yukon Government campgrounds including Marsh Lake Campground as long as they're leashed, and they'll love the sandy beach and short trails around M'Clintock Bay. Pro tip: keep your dog leashed at all times, since black bears, grizzlies, and the occasional lynx do roam the area, especially near dawn and dusk.
yukon.ca/en/outdoor-recreation-and-wildlife/campingCan the RV be delivered to my campsite at Marsh Lake?
Yes, and RV delivery in Marsh Lake is one of the smartest moves for first-time renters. Many Whitehorse-based hosts will drive the RV the roughly 45 km down the Alaska Highway to Marsh Lake Campground, Wolf Creek Campground, or other nearby sites, level it on your site, hook up water and power if available, and walk you through every system before they leave. Filter for Delivery on RVezy to see which hosts offer this service and their delivery radius. Pro tip: if you're flying into Whitehorse without a tow vehicle, delivery essentially turns your campsite into a turnkey cabin on wheels, perfect for a relaxed family RV trip in Marsh Lake.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Marsh%20Lake%2C%20YukonHow far can I drive from Marsh Lake on a typical RV rental?
Plenty far, especially since most RVezy hosts offer generous daily mileage allowances, and some even list RV rentals with unlimited mileage. From Marsh Lake, popular drives include Whitehorse (about 45 km, around 35 minutes), Carcross and Emerald Lake (about 90 km via the South Klondike Highway), Skagway, Alaska (around 180 km, about 2.5 hours), Haines Junction and Kluane National Park (about 200 km west), and Watson Lake with its famous Sign Post Forest (around 415 km southeast). Always confirm the daily kilometre cap on the listing page before booking. Pro tip: message the host directly through RVezy if you're planning a longer Yukon RV trip, since many will adjust mileage packages for road-trippers.
travelyukon.com/en/things-to-do/touring-and-sightseeing/driving-toursWhere are the best campgrounds near Marsh Lake?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Marsh Lake start with Marsh Lake Campground itself, a Yukon Government site with lakefront sites, pit toilets, free firewood, potable water, and a sandy beach. Wolf Creek Campground (about 25 km north toward Whitehorse) is a peaceful Yukon Government site along Wolf Creek with hiking trails. Squanga Lake Campground (about 75 km southeast) is a quiet fishing favorite. For full hookups, Hi Country RV Park or Pioneer RV Park in Whitehorse are your closest serviced options. Pro tip: book Yukon Government sites through the official Yukon Parks reservation system as soon as it opens in spring.
yukon.ca/en/outdoor-recreation-and-wildlife/camping/yukon-government-campgroundsWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip to Marsh Lake?
Mid-June through early September is the sweet spot for RV camping in Marsh Lake, when daytime highs typically sit between 18 and 22 C and the sun barely sets, giving you long hours of daylight around the summer solstice. Late April brings the Celebration of Swans at nearby Swan Haven, when thousands of trumpeter and tundra swans rest on M'Clintock Bay during spring migration. September delivers crisp air, golden boreal foliage, and the first chances to see the northern lights. Winter RVing is rare due to temperatures that can drop to -30 C. Pro tip: aim for late June if you want warm days, swimmable lake temperatures, and the surreal midnight sun.
yukon.ca/en/outdoor-recreation-and-wildlife/wildlife-viewing/swan-havenI've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay on Yukon roads?
You'll do great, and first time renting an RV in Marsh Lake is a fantastic place to start because the Alaska Highway between Whitehorse and Marsh Lake is wide, paved, and lightly trafficked compared to most southern Canadian highways. Your host will give you a full walkthrough at pickup, covering driving, leveling, propane, the water system, and waste tanks. RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip if questions come up. Pro tip: if you're nervous, book a Class B campervan rental in Marsh Lake or a smaller Class C, both of which drive much like a large van and are easy to park at lakefront sites.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if I have a breakdown or flat tire on my Marsh Lake RV trip?
You're covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire, dead battery, or lockout is just a phone call away even when you're miles down the Alaska Highway. Cell coverage is generally reliable between Whitehorse and Marsh Lake, though it does fade in some stretches past Jake's Corner. Your host is also a great first call for quick troubleshooting, since they know their RV inside out. Pro tip: note the nearest highway kilometre marker before calling for help, since it makes pinpointing your location much faster for dispatch.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Marsh Lake RV rental into Alaska or British Columbia?
Yes, cross-border and inter-provincial travel is one of the best parts of an RV road trip from Marsh Lake. Many RVezy hosts allow travel into British Columbia (Atlin is about 175 km south) and into Alaska through the Fraser or Beaver Creek border crossings, both of which are scenic and rarely busy. Confirm with your host before booking that their listing permits US travel, since insurance coverage must extend across the border. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: a classic loop runs Marsh Lake to Skagway to Haines via the AMHS ferry and back through Haines Junction, but you'll want a passport and at least 5 to 7 days.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Marsh Lake RV trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable, so budget smart and you'll be fine. Class B campervans average about 10 to 12 L/100km, Class C motorhomes 18 to 22 L/100km, and larger Class A coaches 25 to 30 L/100km. Yukon gas prices typically run higher than southern Canada, with the cheapest pumps in Whitehorse and noticeably steeper prices at remote stations like Johnson's Crossing or Jake's Corner. For a typical 5-day Marsh Lake to Kluane loop in a Class C, plan on roughly $300 to $500 CAD in fuel. Pro tip: top up in Whitehorse before heading anywhere, and never let your tank drop below a quarter on Yukon highways.
yukon.ca/en/driving-and-transportation/road-and-driving-conditionsHow far in advance should I book a campground at Marsh Lake?
For Yukon Government campgrounds including Marsh Lake Campground, reservations open each spring through the official Yukon Parks reservation system, and the most coveted lakefront sites are typically gone within days for the July long weekend and August. A portion of sites are kept as first-come-first-served, so arriving by Thursday afternoon often scores a weekend spot. Pro tip: book your RV on RVezy first, then immediately reserve your campsite, since knowing your rig length and whether you need a pull-through narrows your site options.
yukon.ca/en/outdoor-recreation-and-wildlife/camping/reserve-campsiteWhat are the driving conditions like around Marsh Lake?
Easier than you'd think. The Alaska Highway from Whitehorse to Marsh Lake is fully paved, two lanes, and well-maintained, with gentle grades and light traffic outside of summer convoys of RVs heading to Alaska. Watch for frost heaves (small dips and ripples in the pavement) that can surprise you at highway speed, and always slow for wildlife, since moose, bison, and bears regularly cross the highway between Jake's Corner and Teslin. Gravel shoulders and occasional construction zones are normal in summer. Pro tip: daytime running lights or headlights are required in the Yukon, and aim to be off the road during twilight hours when moose are most active.
511yukon.ca/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Marsh Lake?
Yukon Government campgrounds are rustic in the best way. Marsh Lake Campground offers pit toilets, free firewood, bear-proof food storage, potable water taps, and a swimming beach, but no electrical, water, or sewer hookups at individual sites. For dumping tanks and filling fresh water, the closest reliable spots are Hi Country RV Park and Pioneer RV Park in Whitehorse, about 45 minutes north on the Alaska Highway, and both typically welcome non-guests for a small fee. Pro tip: arrive with a full fresh water tank and empty grey and black tanks so you can fully enjoy a 3 to 4 night stay at Marsh Lake without a mid-trip run to town.
yukon.ca/en/outdoor-recreation-and-wildlife/camping/yukon-government-campgroundsWhat's inside a typical Marsh Lake RV rental?
More than you'd expect. Most RVezy rentals around Marsh Lake come fully equipped with comfortable beds (sleeping 2 to 8), a kitchen with propane stove, fridge, sink, and basic cookware, an indoor bathroom with toilet and shower, a furnace for chilly Yukon nights, and seatbelts for everyone traveling. Many also include a microwave, generator, awning, outdoor camp chairs, bedding, and dishes. Wi-Fi is rare in Yukon listings since cell signal is patchy past Whitehorse, but most rigs have a 12V system suited to off-grid stays. Pro tip: when comparing listings for RV camping in Marsh Lake, check the host's amenity list for a furnace and extra blankets, since even July nights can drop to 5 C.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Marsh%20Lake%2C%20YukonWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about for my Marsh Lake rental?
You've got lots of flexibility. Popular add-ons from Whitehorse-area hosts include camping chair and table kits, bedding and linen packages, bike racks, fishing gear, generators, and full kitchen kits, with typical pricing ranging from about $25 to $75 CAD depending on the item. Pickup typically happens at the host's home in Whitehorse, with delivery to Marsh Lake (about 45 km) often available for a host-set fee. Mileage policies vary by listing, with most including 150 to 250 km per day and offering unlimited mileage upgrades, perfect if you're planning a longer Yukon loop. Pro tip: bundle delivery, propane top-up, and a bedding package into one quote when messaging the host, since many offer package discounts.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Marsh%20Lake%2C%20YukonHow does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Marsh Lake?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book your RV rental in Marsh Lake, Yukon, you'll pay through RVezy using a credit card, with the total clearly broken down (nightly rate, service fee, protection plan, taxes, and any host add-ons). The host places a refundable security deposit hold on your card before pickup, separate from your booking payment, and it is released after a successful return with no damage. To avoid issues, document the RV's condition at pickup with photos and video, follow the host's fuel and dump-station return instructions, and stay in touch through the RVezy messaging system. Pro tip: return the rig clean and on time and your deposit is usually released within a few business days.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV at Marsh Lake in winter or shoulder season?
You can, and it's an unforgettable experience for the right traveler. A handful of Whitehorse-based RVezy hosts offer winter-ready rigs with heated holding tanks, extra insulation, and shore-power capability, which means you can chase the northern lights over Marsh Lake from late August through April without freezing pipes. Yukon Government campgrounds including Marsh Lake Campground close for the winter season, but several pull-offs along the Alaska Highway allow self-contained overnight stays. Expect temperatures from around -10 C in October to -30 C in January. Pro tip: book a rig with a strong furnace and ask the host about skirting, and always keep your fresh-water tank topped, since outdoor water taps are shut off across the territory in winter.
