We have been long time state park campers, and this was our first foray into staying at a private campground. So here's the pros and cons of Yukon Trails.PROS:- Friendly staff. - Nice camp store with a small supply of essential needs.- Pretty well maintained, though our site had some litter and glitter from some previous guests' party. From the seasonal sites we saw, all of the campers/park models were in good shape and the sites were well taken care of. No signs of derelict units. - The campground itself has a very good state park vibe. 95% of the sites are under tree cover of some kind. Most of it is tall pines, but we got lucky that our site was in a deciduous tree stand. For the most part, sites weren't stacked on top of each other. There was room to breathe.- Quiet hours were well observed. Probably didn't hurt that it rained most of the time we were there.- My children are grown, but I would say this is a very family friendly campground. They have activities planned for just about every weekend. CONS:- Not a lot of sites for weekenders. We got lucky I guess. You can't reserve specific sites online. I know that's common with private campgrounds, but government park reservation systems are miles ahead on this front.- I had always heard how bad wi-fi is at private campgrounds, but that didn't keep me from suckering myself into buying two nights of access for $10. It was terrible. If you're data plan is good, stay with that. I did fine on Verizon data.- For someone used to camping with electric for $45/night, paying $25 more per night doesn't seem like a good value. Granted, there is the overhead involved with running a private campground, and I've been spoiled by subsidized state parks for a couple of decades. This is a Thousand Trails affiliate, so there may be some perks for members that I don't have access to. When compared to other private campgrounds in the area, $71 a night is not a bad deal, but I'm a spoiled state park user, so it's hard to get excited about that. I would certainly stay again if I had to, especially considering another "resort" we visited that was quite a bit slummier. That's the thing about private properties, you never really know what you're going to get until you get there.

We arrived here as a stopover on the road for a one night stay. This campground is hopping!The bad: Sites are tightly packed, somewhat challenging to get around the park. This is a VERY busy park. There's a train that comes nearby and it can be heard even over the AC of our camper. The good: There are a lot of activities....moreWe arrived here as a stopover on the road for a one night stay. This campground is hopping!The bad: Sites are tightly packed, somewhat challenging to get around the park. This is a VERY busy park. There's a train that comes nearby and it can be heard even over the AC of our camper. The good: There are a lot of activities. Multiple playground sets, old-school 80's playground equipment, swing sets, teeter totters, climbing things, jungle gyms, horseshoes, corn hole, a dig area (for a fee) where I guess you look for gems or gold or something, a train (also a fee I think) to ride, a kids pool with splash mushroom, an adult pool, an arcade, a convenience store with snacks, meals and sundries. People are out and about here enjoying the park a ton! When you pull up, this place has a resort vibe -- an older resort yes, but there's so much activity that it clearly feels like a resort. They have weekend events, a s'mores bar on saturdays, saturday morning breakfast pizzas and donuts are available for purchase and there's just a real old fashioned gathering kind of feeling here.Internet: Verizon, Tmobile and AT&T all had decent enough service especially for a busy weekend night. AT&T had between 16-65 down and .5-3 up. Tmobile and Verizon were both more like 20/1-2 up. Reasonable and we can stream two TVs at once in the evening. Very usable.We are in a 50amp/water site, no sewer but there's a dump site. Great park, very different vibe from the other Encore Properties/Thousand Trails type properties we have stayed at. We are TT members and can stay free at Yukon trails and other Encore Properties through the Trails Collection.
