63.3752° N, 136.6780° W
Quick Overview
Stewart Crossing is a small junction settlement on the Klondike Highway where the Silver Trail branches east toward Mayo and Keno City. Located about 180 kilometres north of Carmacks and 190 kilometres south of Dawson City, it's a practical service stop on the long Klondike Highway drive. You'll find several dump stations here, with some offering free access. The local RV dump station and sani-dump facility serves Klondike Highway travelers and those heading up the Silver Trail. The sanitary dump station access at Stewart Crossing fills an important gap -- between Carmacks and Dawson City, this is one of very few places to service your rig's tanks. The Stewart River flows past the settlement, and the junction character of the location means you'll see RVers coming from multiple directions during the summer travel season. It's a small stop, but on the Klondike Highway, any stop with a working dump station is worth noting.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Stewart Crossing, Yukon, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.
Check your RV insurance coverage
A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.
Know your roadside assistance options
RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.
Decide about an extended warranty early
Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.
Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees
A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Stewart Crossing
Stewart Crossing's remote location means dump station access is limited but valuable. Of the stations available, a portion% are free while a portion% charge a fee. Paid options can run $10 to $15 per use. The free access saves real money for travelers who've been on the road for days heading to or from Dawson City. Fuel and supplies at this small junction are priced for remoteness, so budget accordingly. Cash is strongly recommended since card payment infrastructure is inconsistent in small Yukon settlements.
