Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court

I love this campground. Great location - long walk or short drive to downtown. Hiking trails outside your door. Mountain View’s surround you. As others mentioned if you have a smaller rig you might be placed in a shared site. They are a little weird and I would not pick if you can control it. They have a little bit of every style camping- tents, PHU, FHU.
Check in was busy and a bit of a pain with long lines but once you’re in, you’ll love it! Banff —even at its busiest—is a beautiful place!

We stayed here for 1 night last year and vowed to come back! We booked our spot as soon as Parks Canada opened their reservation system. They go fast so book early!
We had site 624 in the B section. It was perfect. The 400-600s are the best because you don’t hear the road noise. If you are I. The 800s you hear the noise much more from the highway. The 600s are right between the 2 bathroom/shower facilities. Great location.
Full hookups. Power was steady. Sites are far apart so privacy is great.
Do yourself a favour and do the loop hike that goes around the campground. Bring bear spray. It’s beautiful and is about 6km. Or just do half. We saw a coyote on our hike.
They have garbage and recycling, and the bathrooms are kept nice and clean. We might come back next year and stay longer! Can’t beat it.

Cell coverage was with Telus - 1-2 bars the entire stay but we were able to stream the football game and do email etc. no wifi.

Spent 4 nites here, first time in Banff. Nice park but never experienced shared sites before. They were ok, really no issues. Other sites were clearly visible and close just as well so we were all friendly. 😜 great access to hiking and biking trails from campground. Clean bathrooms. Lots of elk and ground squirrels near sites so keep your food protected. Overall, really enjoyed it because of its location and full hook ups. Total cost for 5 nites was C$215. We paid for 5 nights but stayed for 4 because we wanted to check out Golden. We had to be back home by a certain day so we cut Banff short. But definitely will return.

Stayed here two nights. Can’t beat the proximity to Banff and the facilities were very clean, but there is almost no privacy. We got there only to be told we were in a shared site, and could also see the people on the other side of us clearly with only a metre or so between. Bathrooms only have one shower per section (but it’s free). For the price I don’t think it’s worth it and wouldn’t stay again.

There is no “free” camping in Banff or Jasper national parks if you’re visiting for several days so this was our best bet.

Conveniently located to downtown Banff (we walked from one of the farthest campsites and it took about 40 minutes), good cell service with ATT (able to work/have zoom calls), great showers, and easy pull through sites. Also saw plenty of elk walking throughout the campground. This was our second stay and we would stay again.

Highly recommend taking the shuttle into Banff, especially if you have a dually during peak season.

This is a HUGE park nestled in the mountains a short distance from downtown. We arrived just after Labor Day and it was busy, a few noisy groups but really convenient for downtown (3 Japanese restaurants!!!) and sightseeing. There are sites close to the road with amazing views (row 1) but they go very quickly each year. Easy check in and out. Inly grip is that this is in big sky country and the park has overhead lights every few spaces that are i possible to get away from..a real shame. The weekend after, the park really emptied out and (apart from the lights) was perfect.

Stayed here on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2021. We were hoping to get 2 nights but were lucky with a last minute booking for 1 night. Banff is such an amazing National Park. The Trailer Court has 8 very long rows of camp sites. The '100's are right next to the road, and the '800's are highest on the mountain but, you can hear the noise from the highway the further up you are. We walked the entire campsite and determined that the 300's to the 600's are the best. Just an opinion - they are all quite gorgeous though and you can't beat the views. The washrooms are decent. The hooks work great. No wifi but there is cell service. We want to go back next year and stay for 4-5 nights. 1 just wasn't enough!
It's not walkable to the town - it's quite a distance. There is a free bus service however and it comes right to the campground which is great! Bicycles or a car is a good option as well.

Stayed 2 nights instead of 3 because of our full hookup spot was booked on the 3 nights. And there is a snow storm coming the day after which make us change the plan and leave on the 3rd day. It was end of September as it was less people and cold at night. Will sure be back again for the convenience of the location with full hookup to visit the Canadian Rockies in the future.

This campground is huge, but fills up quickly. The website opens for reservations for the whole year in January, so there are many people on the site all at the same time and it gets bogged down with web traffic and makes it difficult to get a reservation. We spent about 45 minutes trying, while constantly getting timed out of the system. We were finally successful at getting the reservation, but it wasn't easy. It would be nice if they would stagger the reservations by date instead of having everyone all trying for the season at the same time. Anyway, other than the very inefficient reservation system, we loved our stay and it was worth the effort. The campground is convenient to the town of Banff and there are shuttle buses available to take you there. Lake Louise is about an hour away. Your GPS will try to route you through the town of Banff, but if you're pulling a long trailer or driving a big rig, it's better to go to the Tunnel Mountain exit and not through the town. We travel fulltime and work remotely so cell coverage is important to us. If you care about that, Verizon and T-Mobile worked very well at the campground. I think it was on the Canadian Telus network.
