Quick Overview

Pelly Crossing is a small Selkirk First Nation community on the banks of the Pelly River, where the Klondike Highway crosses this major Yukon tributary about 280 kilometres north of Whitehorse. It's one of the few service points between Carmacks and Dawson City, and for RVers on the Klondike Highway, every opportunity to dump and refuel matters. The community has several dump stations, with some offering free access. Pelly Crossing's RV dump station and sani-dump facilities serve travelers pushing north to Dawson City or heading south toward Whitehorse on what is a long and remote highway corridor. The sanitary dump station options here are limited but important -- the distances between communities on the Klondike Highway make self-sufficiency a requirement, and being able to dump your tanks at Pelly Crossing means you don't have to carry them all the way to Dawson City (about 250 km north) or back to Carmacks (about 75 km south). The community sits in a broad river valley surrounded by boreal forest, and the Pelly River itself was a major waterway during the fur trade era. Today, Pelly Crossing is home to about 300 people and has a small store, a fuel station, and the Big Jonathan House interpretive centre. It's not a tourist town -- it's a working First Nations community that happens to sit on the highway. The boreal forest stretches to the horizon in every direction from here, and the silence when you step out of your rig is profound -- no traffic noise, no city hum, just the wind and the occasional bird call. For travelers heading to Dawson City, Pelly Crossing represents the commitment point -- you are closer to your destination than your starting point, and the character of the highway becomes increasingly remote and wild from here northward.

Traveling to Pelly Crossing by RV

The Klondike Highway (Highway 2) passes through Pelly Crossing, connecting Carmacks (about 75 km south) to Stewart Crossing (about 105 km north). The road is paved but can be rough in sections, with frost heaves and gravel patches requiring attention. From Whitehorse, it's about 280 kilometres to Pelly Crossing -- roughly a 3.5-hour drive. Fuel is available in Pelly Crossing at the local station, and you should fill up here because the next fuel may be at Stewart Crossing or Dawson City, both over 100 kilometres away. The community store has basic snacks and supplies, but don't count on it for real grocery shopping. There are no mechanical services available, so your rig needs to be in good condition. Cell coverage is essentially nonexistent at Pelly Crossing and for the surrounding stretches of highway. Carry a satellite communicator or InReach device for emergencies. Wildlife is common along the highway through this area -- moose, bears, and foxes are regular sights, especially at dawn and dusk.
