Fred Henne Territorial Park

Do know, you will hear the planes at the airport and cars on the main road all night long. That being said i still loved the campground! The camping spots have walls of trees between them for privacy. Showers are no longer free. 1 loony (loonie?) runs about 5 minutes and the water is lukewarm. Only bummer is that they close the beach at 10:30pm and it's not open until later in the morning. So no sunrise pictures over the lake or swims or open space to watch the northern lights.

Basically the only place to camp in Yellowknife. You can walk into downtown from here but it takes around an hour. The campground is huge with lots of privacy between sites. The is only one set of showers and flush toilets but they are situated near the front entrance, the rest are pit toilets located throughout the campground. Staff is excellent and they do have free WiFi in the camp entrance building.

Very nice place to enjoy a day out of the city while still in its proximity.
There are 2 different parts of the park: the day access and the night one. The night one is more for camping and requires reservations (even for 1person tent) at least 2 days in advance. At same time it has all required facilities for a night sleep (washrooms, water, electricity...). The area is locked at night from the day area by a fence.
The day area is open 24h/day with WCs, drinking water, tables, paddock, parking areas.
The place is indeed great for a swim during summer or enjoying the midnight sun in june/july.
Just remember to clean after you leave!

I'm not from YK so the adjustment to the area has been a challenge but when I found Fred Henne I found a happy place. The views are gorgeous, I love it here

Good hike, beautiful scenery from up high, except for the 1 part when you have to walk across the swamp.

My first time in Yellowknife and this was the 1st place we saw so we decided to set up camp here. Great place to camp. They have showers, plug ins if needed BUT no one should need that while out camping, SERIOUSLY! Anyway, a must stay for sure. We will return. 😊

Great sand! Clear cool water! Fun!

First time out in years great memories even lifted a tree that was knocked over and rerouted it.

Great camping spot close to town if you want a break. Staff is incredible, beach is good for kids of all ages...prices are affordable.

Is it the nicest camping spot in NWT? No. Is it within city limits which allows you to get groceries, hit the liquor store, work in the city, etc. while still camping? Yes. Five stars for convenience.

It's a nice beach.

Best park for camping

It's Yellowknife's best beach. Actually, it's the only beach! But it's the place to be during the summer.

Beautiful day at the beach.
