One of my favorite campgrounds in Jasper National Park. Not for big rigs. Good tree cover, well spaced camp sites. Lots of good firewood.

It’s a shame the fire started here , but the damage is minimal in the campground.I love this campground, it nice and quiet in the back spots but still close enough to drive to catch some jasper sites!

Unfortunately, parts of this campground was affected by wildfires last year but still a really nice spot on the Athabasca River.

The closest first come first serve campsite to Jasper. Great to do day trips from. Right on the river and you can access it easily. Beautiful views of the mountains at the river. Like all the campgrounds it is kept clean and in good standing. It is right in the trees a d I thought the bugs may be bad. It was good. Keep in mind I stayed in the middle of August.

Great little campground, quiet, clean, self registration. One small section by the river, sites are a bit more open. We stayed in the other larger loop with large private sites (lots of trees between the sites). Close to highway but we couldn't hear the traffic too much and it died off at night. Very clean outhouses and friendly staff.

Great site, clean amenities, and loads of dry firewood! Perfect location south of Jasper.

Nice campground. A little close to the highway, but we didn't notice too much noise from that. Outhouses only, but they were clean and didn't smell much (for an outhouse). There are large water tanks with potable water, bearproof storage containers, and lots of firewood available. It's a little out of the way and a bit more rustic than Whistlers, but that's exactly what we were looking for. Not a great campground for large RVs, but for small trailers, vans, or tents it's pretty nice.

Good place to chill, in my opinion the lots from 1-11 were a little exposed but by the river, the rest of them were fairly private. As someone else said I wouldn’t drink the potable water, washrooms were outhouses so not the best either. Overall it wasn’t bad but I would try to look for other spots before staying here again.

Very nice spot. We were looking for a spot about 25-30 min from Jasper so less traffic. Dog friendly. We were also looking for something cheaper, as we don’t need power. This campground was about $50 for 2 nights. There’s complimentary cut firewood, and “drinking water” ( I don’t trust it as it’s in direct sun in clear containers instead of black, if you know AG you know clear grows bacteria) but it is great for washing / dogs / dishes. Dog friendly, quiet hours everyone seemed to follow, even the ones partying! Come in the early morning 8-10am on Sat/Sun if you want a spot ! During the week it’s pretty empty. 😊 There’s privacy spots if you want that, or there’s open spots if you want that too. Smaller spots for tents/ bikers/ cars, and larger ones for small fifth wheels and bumper pulls. 23ft limit recommended. It’s right on the Athabasca with a small point that makes a small beach area if you’re brave enough to swim 🥶 Staff come frequently in the mornings to clean bathrooms and garbage. Very friendly people. 10/10 will be staying again!! 😇

Very beautiful campsite, quiet and so close to the athabasca River. We stayed in site #9 and would definitely go back there again. It's first come first serve site. A great experience and the parks personal were very friendly and did a great job checking a couple times a day on us since there was a bear around. Highly recommend this site
