We used Wye Lake to dump after spending time at beautiful Boya Lake Provincial Park on the Cassiar Highway. Very convenient as I dropped my wife off at the grocery store as we went into town and picked her up after dumping.
We took one look at Downtown RV Park and skipped it after asking for a rate. We also visited the Watson Lake Campground (Yukon govt.) and it had lots of trees and privacy. But, since we had spent a couple of nights dry camping on the Cassiar, we decided to stay at Junction 37 RV Park.
Although not well-maintained, we ended up at Junction 37 both going to Alaska and coming home. We even did laundry there on the way home, although only half the washers and dryers were operable. Uncrowded, good rates, treed, pull-thru sites with full hookups and some privacy, and a laundry--what more could you want? Especially after some of the campgrounds we stayed in in Alaska, it seemed better than average despite some poor reviews from others.
After 6 days of no sewer, power or internet - the DW considered the Downtown RV Park to be our own private resort:)! (Many days of rain before showed up, so the gravel parking lot had more mud and puddles then usual. We had OK WiFi, being close to the office and with the WiFiRanger Boaster. Wife liked the laundry area well. The owner is very straight forward about his park. While he did not say it, I felt he understood that this was a 'stopping place vs destination'. Showers were reported to be clean, by a few of the campers we talked with. The owner was also nice enough to let me 'steal vs borrow' his extension ladder for the Signpost ritual (We now be hung!).
Junction 37 we slowed down and looked over as we drove by. Thanks for the info, we'll probably stop on our way back to pick up 37 South...
Best to all,
Smitty
