About
Fox Lake is one of the six road-accessible campgrounds with reservable campsites. Close to highway, with access to Fox Lake, a favourite for boaters. The sheltered bay at the south end of the lake is great for canoeing. Look for muskrats feeding on aquatic vegetation. The lake's Southern Tutchone name, Kwätän 'ayä, refers to the creek that branches off into the bush.
On the Klondike Highway at kilometre 248. 43 campsites, 9 of them pull-through. Half of the campsites can be reserved on Yukon Parks' reservation service; the rest are first come, first served. The gate is open year-round.
Fees
$20 CAD per night paid in cash at the campground, or $18 with a nightly camping voucher or a reservation; fees apply May 1 to September 30
