Wilcox Creek Campground | Established Campground

September 9th, 2023 by tay197

Near base of Wilcox trail hiking trail. 46 campsites, not very private but lots of trees. Site 36 has best view and privacy imo. Firewood available onsite included in cost of campsite, $26.25/night. Tent, and small RV friendly. Dogs welcome on leash. Can hear/see traffic on the highway. Most sites you are peering up/down into someone else’s site. Must have valid park pass.

stayed here two nights and there were lots of free sites in the beginning of August. nice and quiet campsite with potable water and dump station.
the only thing is the cold during the night.

Nice campground, 26$ firewood included. Easy enough for smaller rvs, truck campers, and vans

$16.75 CAD as of now as they are not currently getting wood delivery, and hence do not charge the fire permit fee. This could change.
Nice spot, privacy varies by site, but basically stacked roads up the hillside allow for you to look over, rather than into, your downhill neighbor's site.
Full Saturday and Sunday night on holiday weekend.

Really nice campground. The cleanest pit toilets I’ve ever seen. Trash and drinking water several places throughout. Almost no cell service. There was a little near the entrance. Recommend!

The previous User said it all! On a Friday and Saturday of the long Labour Day weekend, this campground was only half full. The Wilcox trail is not really difficult (as described) ; it is well marked and you can take your time going uphill. It is beautiful. Caution: most sites are quite short - perfect for tenters - but there are some sites that big rigs can use. Look around. There is drinking water and a sani-dump station. At an elevation of +2000 meters, it can get quite cold at night.

It now costs $24.85 per night, self serve registration. Nice for 1 or multiple nights. Outhouses, garbage, and potable water.

Primitive Campground in Jasper National Park ($15,70) wit pit toilets and picnic tables. A bit away from Icefields Parkway - no traffic noise. Close to Columbia Icefield and the great Wilcox Ridge Trail.

Rangers patrol around 7:30 pm. It was really quiet, but hard to predict if it's going to be full or not. On a thursday there were many spaces left. Wednesday it was full at 5 pm.

Nice campground. A few sites have views. Nice location near Wilcox trailhead and a short drive to Icefiekd Center or Parker trailhead. Quiet. Mosquitos but not as bad as some others. No wifi, but 4 bars at Icefield Center.

Nice and quiet campground. As all the place are with gravel be carfull (might go through the floor of your tent ;)

July 11th, 2019 by veronikajerichova

Self registration, rangers controlled in the evening- park pass I assume. Nothing really special.

Nice campground with about 46 spots. On a Friday in July we arrived around 4pm with many spots still availabe. By 9pm we noticed several people driving around not finding a location, seems to have filled by then.

Pit toilets, a single water spiget for the whole campground. No cell service.

nice campground near the icefield and athabasca glacier. no frills, pit toilets, picnic tables and fire rings. $15.70 per night. can fit smaller rv's up to 25'.

Great place with views on the glaciers if you get a good spot. Arrive early in the evening, pick your tent, self-register and continue your day.

Good campground. First come, first serve. Pretty busy in high season, so check in early. Definitely nicer than the Icefield RV Campground. Hardly any views on the glacier though. It's 2000m high so it gets pretty cold, even in summer. Still 15,70$.

$15.70/site, clean restrooms. Hike up to the Mt. Wilcox, the view is amazing and the trail starts right outside of the campground.
