Get a camping permit

Sale of camping permits is delayed until June

All campgrounds, recreation sites and facilities are closed until further notice.

The sale of Yukon resident annual camping permits and daily pre-paid camping permits is postponed until June to protect the public, staff and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

See parks and campgrounds COVID-19 updates for more information on what this means for using Government of Yukon campgrounds at this time.

Do I need a permit?

Yes. Everyone who stays in a Government of Yukon road-accessible campground must have a permit for each accommodation unit (tent, RV, camper, trailer, automobile or other temporary moveable accommodation). If there is more than one unit at a campsite, a separate permit is needed for each unit. Your permit must cover each night’s stay.

Register your campsite

You must always register your campsite when you arrive. This indicates the campsite is in use and allows Parks staff to see you have a permit. You can't reserve campsites ahead of your stay or hold campsites for other campers.

Make sure the spot is unoccupied by checking dates on the previous permit if it's still on the post.

For an on-site or Yukon resident annual permit:

1. Fill out the self-registration envelope.
2. Tear the permit from the envelope and clip it to your campsite number post.
3. Place your payment in the envelope and seal it, or write in your resident annual camping permit number.
4. Place the envelope into the deposit vault at the campground entrance.

For a pre-paid permit:

1. Fill out the pre-paid permit.
2. Tear the post tag from the permit and clip it to your campsite number post.
3. Place the pre-paid permit stub directly into the deposit vault.

Special rates
