National Parks

Alberta’s five national parks offer camping experiences in a variety of terrains. Use the Parks Canada online campgrounds reservation service to book your site. Check in with Parks Canada or at park entrance offices for additional campsite information.

• Banff National Park  has 13 campgrounds operated by Parks Canada. Banff and Jasper have the largest selection of rustic backcountry campgrounds in Canada and both parks are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
  

• Jasper National Park  is larger and less crowded than Banff. Parks Canada operates 10 campgrounds here. Hinton, the gateway town to the Park, offers numerous nearby campsites.
  

• Elk Island National Park is less than an hour's drive from our capital city of Edmonton. The Sandy Beach Campground in the protected aspen parklands offers overnight camping. The popular Oster Lake Back Country Tenting Area requires bookings well in advance.
  

• Waterton Lakes National Park is perfect if you’re comfortable sharing your space with the indigenous wildlife, there are nine wilderness campgrounds in Waterton Lakes. If you would rather be closer to civilization, there is a campground at the west end of the Waterton townsite.
  

• Wood Buffalo National Park is paradise for those who prefer a  "Spartan" style of camping (austere; remote backcountry endurance over creature comforts). Located in Alberta's far north and spilling into the Northwest Territories, it's a bit tricky to get into, but the fact this UNESCO World Heritage Site is bigger than Switzerland means you won't be fighting the crowds for the perfect campsite.
