Parks Canada will resume camping services for the front and backcountry areas of Kluane National Park and Reserve as of June 22nd, 2020. Kathleen Lake campground is also reopening.
Visitors to Kathleen Lake campground are asked to be as self sufficient as possible-bring everything that you need with you and keep your campsite clean. There will be no water available in the campground and the Kathleen Lake day-use area shelter will remain closed. Visitors can self register with payment at the kiosk located in the campground on a first-come, first-served basis.
Campfires will be allowed within established fire pits in the Kathleen Lake campground and day-use area only. A fire ban remains in effect for all other areas of the park.
Registration and deregistration by phone are mandatory for overnight backcountry visits to Kluane National Park and Reserve. As our visitor centres will remain closed, backcountry fees and permits will be managed through our call centre.
The call centre will be open for processing permits as of June 22, and can be reached 7 days per week, from 9 am to 4 pm, at 1-867-634-7207. Visitors should only call to register within the 24 hours before the start of their backcountry trip, to ensure they are receiving the most up-to-date travel information before heading into the park.
Visitors will be able to obtain permits for rafting the section of the Alsek River within Kluane National Park and Reserve. Please call 1-867-634-7207 for more information about Alsek River rafting trips.
The Icefield Ranges remain closed to mountaineering and other visitors, with the exception of the Icefield Discovery camp at the base of Mount Queen Mary.
