In short. We list 16 campgrounds in Northwest Territories: 1 national park, 13 provincial or territorial, 0 municipal or regional and 2 private. Few of these listings report hookups, so call ahead about power, water and dump facilities.
The Northwest Territories has few campgrounds and long gaps between them. Treat fuel, water and the short summer season as part of the plan, and confirm opening dates before you go.
