You are most welcome, Ken. We tend to use the Provincial and Territorial Parks when possible. The three parks on the Cassiar Highway, Meziadin Lake, Kinaskin Lake and Boya Lake are three of the most beautiful spots to camp in North America, in my opinion. In Yukon, Cogdon Creek, Marsh Lake are great spots for the night to camp. Free fire wood in the Yukon Parks as well. Generally no hookups but that is not a worry to most of us with our self contained rigs.
Even if a person is using one of the many impromptu spots, you will normally still be in sight of the highway but away from the noise and moving vehicles. Tetsa River Regional Park is also a favorite of ours, just south of Liard Hot springs a couple of hours drive. Then Liard Hot Springs is primo as well.
Every two or three days we will stop at a commercial campground to take a nice hot shower, dump the tanks, use the WiFi if needed and available. Another thing about the highway pull offs is with the neighborliness of northern travelers, you may have folks stopping to see if you are having problems.
On some of the impromptu sites, I will park along the road and walk in to check it out, just to make sure I can turn around and it isn't muddy, etc. There is so little private land along the Alaska Hwy that it isn't a problem. I believe it was last year that Sue T. and I were kibitzing about road house for sale, that advertised it had 45 acres, the largest private land holding on the highway. Most all the land is Crown Land, just like in the US mountain west, belonging to the federal government. For the most part, if a spot is not marked as "no overnight" or gated off, it is OK to use for the night.
Don't know if you are planning to use the Cassiar Hwy up or back but Boya Lake Provincial Park is worth a stay. The campground host sells fire wood at the park.
