There are three privately owned campgrounds in Skagway and one operated by the National Park Service in Dyea, Alaska (nine miles from downtown).  The privately owned parks have all the usual amenities.  Two have 30 amp service and one has 50 amp.  The campground in Dyea has no hookups what so ever.  Dyea is also the trailhead for the Chilkoot Trail.  Skagway is accessible by the Klondike Highway and the Alaska Marine Highway (state ferry system). 

The Klondike gives you access to the Alaska Highway and the North American highway system.  The junction is just 100 miles north of in the Yukon’s capital of Whitehorse.
The state’s marine highway will get you to Juneau, Wrangell, Sitka, Haines, Ketchikan and several other southeast Alaska communities.  Check out the Golden Circle route which runs from Skagway to Haines, Ak. to Haines Junction, Yukon to Whitehorse, Yukon and back to Skagway.  Or do it in reverse.  Your connection with Haines and points south are the Alaska Marine Highway. 

Two of North America’s most scenic roads are between Skagway and Whitehorse and Haines, Ak .and Haines Junction, Yukon.  They’re one of those things you need to see in person to fully appreciate.  Try it.
