Residents in Haines Junction, Yukon can now start planning their summer trips as the territorial government has officially opened the first round of camping reservations for the 2026 season. As of March 4, 2026, people looking to hike and stay overnight in the wilderness can book spots for the popular Tombstone Territorial Park backcountry sites.

According to the Government of Yukon, more options will be available soon for those who prefer drive-in camping. Reservations for main campsites, often called frontcountry sites, are set to open on April 8, 2026.

For the upcoming year, travellers will be able to book spaces ahead of time at several popular locations. These include Wolf Creek, Marsh Lake, Pine Lake, Tombstone Mountain, Kusawa Lake, and Fox Lake. You can view the full list of available spots on the territorial campsite map.

The official camping season for these sites will run from May 8 to October 1, 2026. This reservation system is designed to help manage the number of visitors at each park and make it easier for local families to secure a spot before they start their trip.
