“Site saving” is described in the report as the practice of securing a “first-come, first-served" campsite a day or more before one intends to camp, which is contrary to Yukon campground regulations.

An investigation report released in fall 2024 by the Yukon ombudsman’s office concluded that the Department of Environment’s lack of enforcement due to insufficient tracking of “site saving” is unfair.

The new regulation strengthens the existing regulations that “address concerns about campsite occupancy” to ensure “fair access” to campgrounds.
