Waterfowl Lakes Campground

Jasper National Park


Tucked between two beautiful lakes about 60km north of Lake Louise, this campground just off the Icefields Pkwy has wooded sites and plenty of hiking opportunities. Facilities for the 116 first-come, first-served sites include flush toilets, hot water, BBQ shelters, food storage and interpretive programs, but no showers. Sites 1, 2, 4, 6 and 10 are all near the lakeshore.

There is no cell coverage here, and there is an alcohol ban on long weekends.
