Yukon gov't campgrounds are a favourite for us. Only $12 per night gets a nice usually private campspot with fire ring and picnic table, AND free firewood for the fire ring. The outhouses are usually exceptionally clean and well-stocked.
Hardly makes staying roadside worthwhile, where you'll have transport trucks going by most of the night along the Alaska Highway. Fuel and goods are moved to Alaska by semi-truck and the highway is busy through the winter and summer with'em.
Numerous gas stations have dump stations. Potable water is also accessible. When we were tourists in Yukon, we rarely stayed in RV parks, usually just when we needed to wash clothes, humans, and truck, AND stock up on groceries. Once every couple of weeks was enough.
We found the Yukon Government campgrounds to be some of best we have ever encountered anywhere !:) Spotless toilets , free firewood , nice spacious sites with easy back in . And no complaints when we paid with a check from a Texas Credit Union when the loonies we sometimes had for washing machines ran out . And the fact they are usually located by a beautiful lake "like Teslin" stayed at that one on the way up and back ,or stream is a huge plus. Hats off to the Yukon !
Environment Yukon has a good website for campers/RVers

The map of gov't campground sites is especially useful.
