I have never had any long waits going west across the Yukon River at Dawson Town, if I get to the landing early in the morning. Get there between 7 and 8 AM and you may have to wait for the next crossing or two. But wait till 9 AM or so when the caravans are lined up to cross and the wait can be hours. A caravan of 30 Class A rigs does take a while to get them all across.
Late in the afternoon also works well as sue mentioned. Then camp on the west side of the river or find a nice boondocking site along the road. The old ships grave yard is a fun short walk from the campground.
