Treated water and dump stations in the Yukon

There's no cost to be on that list but over the years some commercial campgrounds haven't wanted to be listed because their dumps are only for clients. I don't know if there are any currently not on the list for that reason.

Thanks for posting all this info, folks.

And the explorenorth.com website has lots more useful route and campground info as well.

Appreciated.

Not sure there is going to be any significant difference between the two lists given that when I checked the first two entries on the sanidumps list at Beaver Creek which aren't on your list, both web sites clearly show a dump point available. Guess I could check a few others to make sure, but seems to me that the difference in the number of sites might be largely explained by the disclaimer on your list saying dump points are not necessarily listed for commercial sites who choose not to list (perhaps because they would have to pay), whereas the Sanidumps list will include anything remotely available including some like Elks and Military that aren't available to the hoi polloi

Anyway, good to establish that there are adequate dump points available in the Yukon after all.

Here's the Yukon information that's the closest to being accurate. I only note 2 errors, both in Whitehorse - Mountain Ridge is closed, and the North 60 gas station at Walmart is available for free (but often has lengthy lineups).

.

OK. 0% is a bit drastic, but all we need is one in a few of the main towns so still worth correcting.

This is the list for Whitehorse so you should be familiar with many of them

Whitehorse, YT
Airport Chalet MARKED CLOSED



Whitehorse, YT
Canadian Tire MARKED CLOSED



Whitehorse, YT
Caribou RV Park


Whitehorse, YT
High Country RV Park


Whitehorse, YT
MacKenzie's RV Park

Whitehorse, YT

Pioneer RV Park


Whitehorse, YT
Robert Service Campground (City Of Whitehorse)


Whitehorse, YT
Takhini Hot Springs Campground


Whitehorse, YT
Trails North Car & Truck Stop


Whitehorse, YT
Yukon Tire Excel Centre / Tirecraft

There is one which is duplicated which I reported a couple of days ago and there are a few marked as closed on the web site, but what about the rest. Would be useful to get it more accurate for the OP and I'll be heading up this year too.

If nothing else it will give us all a good idea of the accuracy we can expect in the rest of the list for YT

Anyway, I'm quite happy to notify the changes. Once got a free ebook listing all the USA sites just for letting them know of a few corrections

Many of the places they list are closed - some for decades.

That is always going to be the case and I guess a list that is 90% accurate is a lot better than no list at all - but if you could list the closed ones here I will let them know so they can improve the accuracy of the list for the benefit of those yet to make the trip

The list is very close to 0% accurate. There are places on the list that closed in the mid '90s. I wrote to them 3-4 years ago about it, and nothing has changed.

No information on the whole trip will be accurate as businesses, campgrounds, fuel stations, etc. are not stable in that part of the country and some close down. Don't rely on what you read anywhere for services. Always have a backup in mind. Especially for fuel, always drive on the top 1/2 of your tank and fill up when you see it. It's no place to think you can shop for good prices as the distances are too great.
