The best camping near S.S. Klondike National Historic Site guide

Overview

About

For the first half of the twentieth century, the sternwheelers of the British Yukon Navigation Company plied the upper Yukon River between Whitehorse and Dawson City. The S.S. Klondike was the largest of the fleet. Sitting proudly on the banks of the Yukon River in Whitehorse, she has been meticulously restored and refurnished, paying tribute to an era before roads, when riverboats and rail linked the Yukon to the outside world.

When to go

The best time to visit the S.S. Klondike National Historic Site is during the summer months, from May to September, when the site is open for tours and the weather is pleasant. Winter visits are not possible as the site is closed for the season.
