About this campground
Five Mile Campground is located approximately 4 miles north of the Yukon River crossing, at Dalton Highway milepost 60. Newly improved in 2022, it offers a vault toilet, potable water in an artesian well, the only RV dump station along the Dalton Highway, and 7 gravel campsites each with a picnic table and fire ring. A campground host may be present from late May to early September. July 5, 2023: The RV dump station is not available for use at this time due to unforeseen damage. Repairs are being scheduled as soon as possible but until those repairs are made, the dump station will not be available for use. Thank you for your understanding.
