Transportation & Driving
We provide shuttle service to and from Dawson
City. Our camp is accessible by
road and is a 45 minute drive from Dawson
City through the Klondike Gold
Fields along the Hunker Creek road. Turn off at our sign near km 23 (mile 14)
and drive in 3.5 km (2 miles) to our camp.
Our access road may be driven by cars, trucks and vans, but is not
accessible by R/V units or trailers. These secondary roads are a gravel
surface and maintained by the government in a fair to good driving condition.
They are narrow and winding. Drive carefully and enjoy your trip through the
Gold Fields! more

and guests must use caution. Bears are usually discouraged from a camp, if
they are not rewarded for their visit by food, garbage or other attractants.
Garbage is collected daily from the campsites and feeding wildlife is
