You can park overnight either across the street from the visitors center or right in the visitors center lot. Really nice to stay so close to everything in town. Public bathrooms down the street open until 10 once Visitor Center is closed.

You can also camp at the Midnight Dome. exeptional views. we saw the northern lights mid-september

Staying our third night tonight in the info center (flat) parking lot. The parking fills up every night. Others stay on Front street nearby.

Mostly vans and truck campers. No trailers or bigger RVs that don’t fit in a parking spot.

We asked inside and they said: « officially not allowed, but openly tolerated if you’re not camping or causing trouble ».

Right in historic downtown, close to all main attractions except dredge #4 and Midnight dome. It is quiet.

Flush toilets and Wifi (with charging station and tables for laptops) inside the info center during opening hours.

Potable water behind info center or at filling station two blocks away (2nd and Duke).

Metered showers at three RV Parks :
Gold Rush (downtown) = $3/6min, Dawson City (2km south) = $2/5min, Bonanza Gold (2km south) = $1/2min.

Laundromat, sani-station, car/rv wash also available at those RV parks. See picture for more info.

No mosquitoes. ;)
