Description
This undiscovered campground is part of the westbound undiscovered road trip.
A boardwalk leads to a lookout where you can watch the 60 m high waterfall on the Takhanne River. Million Dollar Falls is the endpoint of the Chinook salmon upstream spawning run. This occurs in July. The name comes from a U.S. army maintenance camp constructed during the building of the Haines Road and Haines-to-Fairbanks pipeline in the 1940s. The camp has a barracks, officers' quarters and a 21-toilet bathing room. It was rumoured to cost a million dollars to build, but was never used.

Cute campground. You have food lockers here, that can be secured with a padlock. Used it to store my canadian tobacco and other stuff that I did not want to claim at the US border. Picked it up on my way back. I stayed on campground #1. Could see a big grizzly fishing in the River, out of the van. Loved it, but also be careful. Would definitly not sleep in a tent during fall xD
