It is true that Mackenzie is remote. Also that the facilities are minimal at best.
But...I have camped in Mackenzie, and also near Mackenzie along some of the pullouts along the road (as some fishermen also do).
There is a fear among some that you will get hassled by locals, but the reality is that you are unlikely to run into a problem. We didn't have any interaction with anyone while we camped 5 or so nights a couple years ago while we visited before we moved here. It was very nice, quiet, peaceful, solitude in the night.
Cell reception is spotty along the coast, which adds to the feeling of remoteness.
