This campground is first come first served. We arrived around 10 am and found a few open spots. It usually clears out around 10:30 am. We got a great spot (#1) right by the river. Very large and open. No hookups and zero cell service. We enjoyed the trail across the road. Our dogs loved going early each morning. There wasn't a camp host the majority of the time we were there, but on the last night they arrived. They are a stickler for the rules and have very strict generator hours which we didn't like especially when we don't get a lot of solar power. Most of the campgrounds inside the national park have the same rules though.

Mosquito creek is about 25 minutes from lake Louise and about an hour from banff town.
