Alaska Highway Campgrounds
Where are the campgrounds located and how much do they cost if camping in one of the Alaska Highway campgrounds found between Mile 0 and the Alaska border town of Border City, Alaska. We are going to cover the gas prices on the Alcan as well as the campground prices on the Alaska Highway too. Note the the two terms Alaska Highway and Alcan Highway are being used interchangabily as they are just different forms of the same name. Alcan is short for the origional Alaska Canada Highway name that was later shortened to Alaska Highway.
What do we define as a campground and what other options are there for camping along the Alaska Highway?
We are defining campgrounds as designated campsites by the Provincial Governments of British Columbia and the Yukon that offer camping, bathrooms, fire rings and tables but do not offer electric, sewer or water hookups at the individual sites. Most campgrounds will have gravel roads and campsites and offer a nice barrier between sites for privacy too.
