It's a parking lot for the Icefields Centre. No services. It was offered for free tonight. I guess because it appears the snowplow hit the registration deposit station so you couldn't leave any money if you tried. In a pinch it works. The view is out of this world, but you have to work hard to find a location flat enough in this slanted paved parking lot to keep from rolling out of bed. Would not recommend unless you really needed a place to park for the night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This might just be the best deal in both national parks. Asphalt parking lot but with a view, and what a view it is. You're looking straight up into the glacier. The lot itself is somewhat unlevel but they have a self pay kiosk that you have to put in 15.70 exact change or you can use your credit card. I'm not sure anybody actually checks the lot with the pay stubs, so it is a honor system. For one night we enjoyed it We camped here in a Motorhome.

While traveling along the Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper in Alberta, you will find the Columbia Icefield Center in Jasper National Park. This Center is located just below the enormous Athabasca Glacier. The lower parking lot is available for overnight camping for RV's without any hookups. You can visit the museum, dine in the cafeteria or restaurant, view the glaciers, take glacier hikes or ride the spectacular Ice Explorers on the glacier. Pit toilet available after hours when the center closes. Camping below these spectacular landscapes and watching sunsets and sunrises from your RV is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Large, spacious drive-through sites, although in a very treed environment. Bears and elk have been problems, but we did not see any of them. It is a bit pricey for what you get, however there is only one shower for campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground - nearest to Miette Hot Springs. No services, no TV, no satellite radio, no cell phone coverage. Very big sites - fairly level. Road rather narrow for 40' motor home with toad but passable. Only complaint - signage not adequate off main Jasper Park Road and off side road passing campground. We passed the first turnoff and had to travel 5 miles + before able to do a U turn with toad attached. Sign is about 50 feet before turnoff to campgrounds and until you turn a bend, the gate is not obvious. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A little disappointed with this one. First off one of the two roads heading in were very bumpy, so much so that we had to slow down to a snail's pace. The campground itself was quite nice as far as layout and general appeal. The site we had (and saw many others this way) was not very good. It was hard to back into (unless you're good at backing in a "s" pattern) and it was too narrow. Could not open our awning more than three feet. There was a fire pit and picnic table behind a barrier at the rear of the site though. If I ever return to Jasper I will not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great setting...in the forest...plenty of shade and space. Feels like camping. No services in the loop we were assigned to, which was fine for the night. Price a little high in these Nat'l Parks, but worth it as you support their park system. Would recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a marginal park for a large motorhome, unless one wants to stay on the blacktop parking lot that serves as sites with electricity. We were directed around loop "RR", and should not have gone before we looked it over. Trees were tight on both sides and some over hanging branches were too low. If you have a large rig, I suggest Whistlers across the road with full hook ups. Otherwise, this park is a true "camping out" experience. The $8.80/day fire permit is excessive, even if it does include firewood! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is daily rate for back-in 30 amp electric only site. Essentially a looped parking area with yellow line marked back-in sites, that was serving as an overflow area for the nearby Whistlers Campground at this time of year. Depending on which side of the loop you get and how large your rig is, maneuverability can be either good or tight. Also, depending on the site, a little or a great deal of leveling required. The views of elk out our window offset any negatives. We were able to connect to our Internet satellite, and have no problem staying here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Now this is great camping!! Long pull-through sites, full hookups, good spacing between sites (50-60 ft) and tall trees. Gravel patios and good grass. This is totally opposite of what we had in Banff. Very quiet at night. We will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Although tight we were able to get all 4 slides out, but not the awning. Although we probably did not need it because of the tree shade. Although we did not see any bears, there were several sightings prior to our arrival. There was a medium size group of caribou that would walk and eat through out the RV Park. Several layer down in the grass area near us. You have to go into town to use or get on the Internet. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The RV Park is part of the Parks Canada system. We arrived at approximately 4:30 pm, without a reservation, and found the camp staff to be accommodating and friendly. We waited in line for approximately 10 minutes to check-in. We were assigned a back-in site that was approximately 55 feet long and not a problem to back into. All sites are on the outside of a camp loop and easy to back into. The park is big rig accessible but some non-hook-up sites have a lot of trees that will prevent slide-outs from opening completely. All sites are gravel and very close to level. We stayed in an electric (30 amp with good voltage) only site that was densely forested that provided a lot of shade and seclusion. The full hook-up sites are closer together with only a few trees separating each camp site. The campground is very quiet and dark at night. Access roads throughout the campground are very rough and full of deep pot holes. All sites have fire rings for which you will be charged an additional $8.80 per night for a campfire permit that also includes firewood. Wash / bathrooms had five showers in the main bathroom / shower building. There is only one shower building in the campground and it is a 5 - 20 minute walk through the forest depending on your site location. Bathrooms with flush toilets and hot water in the sinks are close to each camp loop. All had modern fixtures and were in very good condition. The shower stalls were large with a separate changing area. All were clean. There are several laundromats approximately 10 minutes away in the town of Jasper. The RV sewer dump had eight separate dump stations, had easy access and was located near the entrance to the park. We stayed four nights and paid $32.30 per night, not including taxes. Parks Canada also charges a daily park entry fee of $19.60 for each vehicle in the Banff and Jasper National Parks, in addition to RV Park fees. An annual park pass is $136.40. A fire permit is required to have a campfire and costs an additional $8.80 per day, including firewood. This is a very popular area and reservations are highly recommended. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
