There are no services between Watson Lake & Ross River. When we're in the area we prefer to not stop at Ross River (based on a couple of bad experiences there), so carry extra fuel to make it to Carmacks.
The Campbell Highway between Watson Lake and Ross River is often in rough and muddy condition so we've taken to not driving it but instead enjoy the South Canol Road.
The South Canol is not suited to large RVs; it is a dirt road and in many places it is a single track. There's a stretch on the north end of the South Canol that is single track on a mountainside ... no place to go if you meet someone. One of you would be backing up to a wide spot. There are no services along this route either.
I understand Faro now has a card-only pump installed. Will be there this coming weekend for the Crane & Sheep Festival so will check it out.
