Jasper National Park · Alberta, Canada · 1070 m elevation · Check-in 2:00 PM · Check-out 11:00 AM

Year-round campground on the Athabasca River bank, 4 km from Jasper townsite.

Shade reality: The 2024 Jasper wildfire burned much of the surrounding forest — expect open, exposed sites and strong midday sun.
