Hinton/Jasper KOA
Overview
The Hinton/Jasper KOA Journey serves as a scenic and welcoming gateway to the world-renowned Canadian Rockies. Situated in the transitional beauty of the Alberta foothills, this park offers a peaceful, wooded alternative to the often-crowded campgrounds within the Jasper townsite. It balances a rugged outdoor experience with the reliable comforts and high standards expected from the KOA brand, providing a well-maintained home base for exploring the vast Alberta wilderness.
Location & Surroundings
Located just north of the town of Hinton along the Yellowhead Highway, the park is immersed in lush pine forests and rolling emerald hills. The property sits within a short distance of the Athabasca River, offering a serene atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle of daily life. Guests frequently enjoy the crisp mountain air and the natural privacy provided by the mature trees that define the park’s perimeter and individual campsites.
Amenities & Park Features
This facility is thoughtfully designed for the modern RVer, featuring large pull-thru sites equipped with 30 and 50-amp electrical service. Beyond the sites, guests have access to a variety of essential services including a clean laundry room, a well-stocked general store, and a dedicated KampK9 dog park for four-legged travelers. For families, the on-site playground and communal fire pits provide the perfect environment to relax after a day of mountain exploration.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw for visitors is the proximity to Jasper National Park and the relaxing Miette Hot Springs, which are easily accessible from the park. Locally, guests can walk the impressive Beaver Boardwalk in Hinton or spend a day at William A. Switzer Provincial Park for paddling and hiking. The location serves as a perfect jumping-off point for visiting Maligne Lake or taking a scenic drive to see the powerful Athabasca Falls.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is the ideal choice for adventurous families and road trippers seeking a high-quality camping experience near the mountains. It is particularly well-suited for big-rig operators who require easy navigation and reliable full hookups that are sometimes difficult to find inside national park boundaries.

These cabins were wonderful. We loved the porch swing, fridge and heater too. The community kitchen had sinks and even hot plates too. The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. There was even views of the rocky mountains. A very affordable alternative to the expensive accomodations in Jasper, yet a short 45 min drive to Jasper. Showers and wood for the community bonfire were free, they even included the marshmallow sticks. There were two areas for dogs, a fenced off with agility equipment and the other was partially fenced larger area where your dog could run. I will definitely stay here again.

You get a clean and level spot with a full hookup. So far the good part. RV spaces are insanely small. You're standing in the shade of your neighbor's rig and will have a hard time walking from your table to your door without tripping over the next guy's poop hose. Our family booked a four person deluxe cabin in addition to the RV site. There's not much luxe about it. You'll find it barely holds two medium-sized adults and two children, not "four people". Location wise, it's a bit too far from Jasper to easily hop into the park and Hinton has to be the most boring town north of the equator.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our trip through Alberta & BC. We were a bit skeptical about staying in ‘a field’ but the views of the foothills and Rocky Mountains were worth it. It ended up being a quiet campsite in the back with a view that was priceless. We had no issues. The washrooms were clean, showers on site had good pressure and were clean, there were garbage cans scattered throughout and the check in process was seamless and the staff were very kind and polite.

Park is well maintained and you can tell there is love put into it to help people enjoy the beautiful nature of Alberta. Staff was friendly, sites are clean, bear proof trash bins and recycling throughout the rows of campsites, bathrooms/showers clean, locked gate overnight, beautiful views, nice dog agility park and off lease exercise area. ~1hr from Jasper but best full hookup option. Convenient to Hinton restaurants, grocery, fuel options. Cabins and cottages look cute and would be nice if not traveling in camper. Recommended stay if enjoying Jasper National Park.

This campground is wonderful. The grounds are very well maintained. The spots are spacious for an RV park. They have playgrounds and a pet park for the little (of big) ones travelling with you. The bathrooms are very clean and well maintained. If there's an issue, they are quick to respond. The showers are hot and water pressure is phenomenal. Then there's the scenery! Being nestled in the Rockies, there's no shortage of views here. It's also windy here. We apparently had mild wind, but we're told it gets much worse. They even don't recommend putting awnings out, it's so bad. This is the only complaint, if you can even call it that, that we had on our one night stay.
