Snafu Lake Campground

Snafu Lake Campground is a Yukon government campground located in the Southern Lakes region, reached via Atlin Road (Highway 7) approximately 26 km south of Tagish.

The campground sits within Agay Mene Territorial Park and offers nine campsites along with a small, unimproved boat launch. The site is best suited for smaller RVs and trailers, though Atlin Road itself is well-groomed gravel that can handle larger rigs.

The lake is a popular destination for fishing, canoeing, and paddling, with small bays, islands, and peninsulas that make it approachable for beginners and families. Wildlife such as beaver, porcupine, and moose are known to wander through campsites.

The name "Snafu" derives from the military acronym for "Situation Normal – All Fouled Up," a nod to its origins as a forest fire crew camp in the late 1950s.

Both the Tagish and Tlingit names for the lake — Ágáy Méne' and Ghooch Áayi — translate to "wolf lake," referencing the nearby creek where wolves come to fish.
