A Guide to Conrad Campground, Yukon
by Murray Lundberg
Campgrounds in the Yukon
The Conrad Campground, operated by Yukon Parks, was opened in 2016. It is located at Km 90 of the South Klondike Highway. It has 35 campsites, 2 of them pull-throughs and 6 of them walk-ins. It also has a kitchen shelter. The campground is located adjacent to the undeveloped Conrad Historic Site, where the town of Conrad served silver mines during a boom that peaked in 1905-1906. The nightly fee at Conrad Campground, as at all Yukon Parks campgrounds, is $20, and includes firewood.
Conrad Campground is open and fully serviced from May 3 until September 30 (in 2024), and is gated in the off-season.
