Quick Overview
Tagish is a small community on Tagish Lake in the Southern Lakes region of the Yukon, about 80 kilometres south of Whitehorse.

You'll find several dump stations here, with some providing free access. The local RV dump station and sani-dump facility serves travelers on the scenic loop through the Southern Lakes as well as locals who live along the lakeshore.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Tagish, 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.

Explore the Tagish Area
Tagish Lake is a premier fishing destination for lake trout and pike, and many RVers set up camp along the lakeshore for extended stays. Dump your tanks at the station here if you've been lakeside camping, since the nearest alternatives are back in Whitehorse or at Carcross. The Tagish Bridge area is a good spot for wildlife viewing -- watch for eagles, especially in fall when salmon are running. Bring your own water and hose for fill-ups. Cell coverage is spotty in the Tagish area, working in some spots near the road but dropping out along the lake and in the surrounding hills.
