Quick Overview

Carcross sits at the north end of Bennett Lake on the Klondike Highway, about 70 kilometres south of Whitehorse. This historic Tagish and Tlingit community has grown into a popular day-trip destination thanks to the Carcross Desert, the scenic railway connection, and its walkable waterfront. You'll find several dump stations here, with some providing free access. The local RV dump station and sani-dump facilities serve travelers on the South Klondike Highway heading toward Skagway, Alaska, as well as those exploring the Southern Lakes region. The sanitary dump station infrastructure is basic but adequate for this small community. Carcross is a natural stop if you're driving the scenic loop from Whitehorse south through Carcross and on to Skagway via the Klondike Highway and the White Pass -- one of the most dramatic mountain drives in North America. The town's refurbished downtown and the Carcross Commons shopping area make for a pleasant break between highway stints.

Traveling to Carcross by RV

The South Klondike Highway (Highway 2) connects Carcross to Whitehorse in about an hour's drive through lake and forest scenery. Heading south, the highway continues through spectacular mountain terrain toward Fraser, BC, and on to Skagway, Alaska -- about 110 kilometres from Carcross. The road is paved and well-maintained in summer but gains elevation quickly south of town, with tight switchbacks on the approach to the White Pass summit. Fuel is available in Carcross at the local station. Larger rigs should be comfortable on the highway to Whitehorse, but the Skagway road requires careful driving with a trailer due to grades and curves.

Explore the Carcross Area

The Carcross Desert -- actually a series of sand dunes left by glacial lakes -- is a quick roadside stop worth seeing. Dump your tanks here if you're heading south toward Skagway, because there are no services on the mountain highway until you reach the Alaska border area. The waterfront boardwalk and Carcross Commons have shops and a good bakery for a break. Bring your own water hose for tank fill-ups. Cell service is available in the Carcross area through most Yukon carriers but fades on the highway south toward the White Pass.
