Both Congdon Creek and Cottonwood are good. Both only accept cash, no credit cards. The 15 amp works fine for us as we switch the fridge and water heater over to propane at Cottonwood. At Congdon, we just run the lights off the battery. The Congdon Creek campground has sites where you can see the lake and others back in the trees. Took a walk through the tree one and found it to be somewhat buggy.
The couple that owns and operates Cottonwood creek are Ontario folks and have owned Cottonwood for 30 or 35 years I would guess. They have a bird house tradition and you will see many bird houses around the campground. They did sell fishing licenses at one time, don't know if they still do or not. All electric power comes from on site generators but the owners have them well isolated so far as sound is concerned, just not a problem. Well run place, where they ask you to haul your trash with you because of the number of bears in the area. Congdon Creek is sometimes closed, to soft sides, because of bears. Both campgrounds use a sani-dump, away from the lake, as I don't remember any sites with sewer at the sites, which is fine, as no one wants sewer, leaking into that pristine lake.
Kluane Lake is beautiful beyond words, sue t. has some photos that come close to showing it though, but standing on the shore is the best way to enjoy it for me and many others that pass that way.
