We came here just to clean our vehicle and do laundry, but it turned out to be a frustrating and disappointing experience. First off, the pump staff barely spoke English, and communication was extremely difficult. The owner was rude.

There’s no coin machine anywhere on-site, so you’re expected to somehow just have exact coins. Very inconvenient.

The laundry facilities are a joke. Half the machines were out of order. My first load didn’t even dissolve the detergent capsule, and the second wouldn’t start at all because apparently hot water isn't even connected. Then my third load got stuck inside the machine. We had to stay overnight just to retrieve it the next day – completely throwing off our plans. The place closes at 8PM sharp, no staff on-site after hours, and no one answers the phone. If you think to have a shower when you arrive, no chance if you arrive late and don't have cash. One machine had a warning sign not to open it if it's locked, and to call assistance and pay if you break it. Clearly this is a known issue, yet it remains unfixed. Luckily, that load didn’t contain our bedding or we’d have been completely stranded.

As for the dryers, you’ll need to run two cycles just to get clothes semi-dry. The showers are “for registered guests only” – yet still cost $2 for five minutes. Why limit access and charge for them?

In the end, we had two wet loads, had to drive into town just to get more cash, and still couldn’t dry everything. Absolutely not worth the hassle.

Do yourself a favor: skip this place. Don’t stay here and definitely don’t attempt to do laundry.

It's a basic yet pretty well run RV park. It's pretty small and in an urban area. The main appeal is obviously that it's just within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance of Dawson City.

There is no restaurant at the RV park although there are at least 7 to 8 pretty good restaurants in nearby Dawson City.

The store inside the RV park office has a really basic selection and doesn't even have any snacks although it does sell a few using items such as some RV accessories and parts.

The woman who runs the RV park is very sociable, polite, courteous and professional.

There are toilets and showers onsite. If I recall correctly the showers cost $1 for 5 minutes to use.

We had such a GREAT time here during the two weeks we waited for the part we needed to get our vehicle back on the road. Dawson City is VERY remote!

No matter which way tourists roll in from they are going to be dusty, and Dawson City RV Park & Campground is a great place to gas up, spray some of the dirt off vehicles, wash clothes in the clean laundry room, use clean restrooms, buy some supplies, use the full RV hookups or tent spots, and rest in a quiet place near a sweet creek with quaking aspen trees.

The campground is just 2 miles along the river from wonderful Dawson City which has quite a bit of fun and interesting things to do.

We got to know the staff at the park and they are excellent people. We were not the only ones with vehicle trouble and they were so helpful and understanding, kind and very informative. Felicia affirmed our faith in humanity as did Lago and everyone there.

Considering the number of rough riding adventurers and typical hapless tourists (like us) pass through it’s amazing they can still smile! But they do!

Dawson City is a great place to hang out. Don’t miss the view from the top of Dome Road!

Gravel lot with lots of full service rv sites suitable to big rigs. Not the prettiest but very serviceable. We have a 30ft 5th wheel and were in site #26 for 4 days. Close enough to walk to town but town has plenty of parking as well!! You’re pretty much gone every day site seeing anyway! Gas, store, laundry and car wash on site!!

Parking is very basic, nice creek ruining right beside it but can’t see it due to gravel heap. Laundry room run cold water, half the machines don’t work, no change dispenser and office closes at 8pm.

Location very close to Dawson City, very clean bathrooms and coin showers, they have a laundry room and car wash, the only inconvenience is that they close the store at 8 pm and I didn't have coins for the laundry.

Do not fill up propane here. They charge by the pound (not by gallon). The guy did not use the scale properly and weigh the tank before and after filling. We filled an empty propane tank and he charged us for 20 pounds (even though it’s never actually 20 pounds). We also had a propane tank that we just opened yesterday that was barely used and he “guessed” that it would take 5 pounds of propane and then, said “yup, it’s 5 pounds”, even though the machine filled up the tank for literally 5 seconds. It cost us $38 to fill up effectively one propane tank. It’s really upsetting to be ripped off straight to your face. Do not patronize this business.
