The campground is very clean and strict in policing leaving food items lying around unattended because of bears in the area, so be a responsible camper or potentially pay $25,000 fine.

The campground is very clean and strict in policing leaving food items lying around unattended because of bears in the area, so be a responsible camper or potentially pay $25,000 fine.
There’s a dump station just outside of the campground gates that’s free, but only fits small rigs. Rinsing and Potable water also available. Another dump station just inside the campground that’s also free, but we didn’t use this one.
The sites are intended for tents, so they’re smaller. Also really close to each other, but it was quiet, and clean. $8 for unlimited wood. Occasionally we could hear the CPR train whistle off in the distance.
There was spotty cell signal, 2 bars was the best I got. (Rogers Wireless, I think it’s similar to AT&T?)

This campground is in a great location relative to town, but the sites are tiny and most of them are within 30’ of one another, and with little in the way of buffer. If you like a little bit of privacy, like we do, this is probably not the place for you. The bathrooms are also very small for the areas they are intended to serve, and ... more
This campground is in a great location relative to town, but the sites are tiny and most of them are within 30’ of one another, and with little in the way of buffer. If you like a little bit of privacy, like we do, this is probably not the place for you. The bathrooms are also very small for the areas they are intended to serve, and their cleanliness is not great. Next time, we will try one of the many smaller campgrounds that are located along the Bow Parkway. Certainly, these are 10-15 minutes farther from town, but the campgrounds appeared to be far less congested, much more private, and much more picturesque.

There are 38 wagon-wheel style loops at this gigantic campground only 15 minutes from Banff, but you'd never know it. Nicely maintained sites and restrooms. Only $16 US. Good 3 bar Verizon LTE. We loved that you could choose a loop without campfires. They Do provide unlimited wood for you to burn for only $8 cdn. Pretty quiet p... more

Pretty quiet place, very walkable to stunning Two Jack Lake. Just around the corner and over the dam from Lake Minnewanka. Brave the crowds in Banff townsite or up at Moraine Lake if you dare! But go early before the barricades go up.
