Fantastic little spot just outside the park. It is maybe 300m earlier than the Google Maps directions indicate but it's the first pull over after the speed increases to 90 after leaving Japser NP. 3 separate spots so it could accommodate a few people. narrow entry but road was okay.

Disappointed we missed this place with all the great reviews. Didn't find the entrance.

Great spot after a soak and just outside of the park. Entrance is right at the end of the pullout on the highway. Cute little road so don’t miss it! Not too bumpy, and easily manageable in a 2wd 170 sprinter

Great overnight stay. Dry camping and leave no trace. Sites right off the highway after a short, narrow strip of road. A bit bumpy but no issue pulling a 16ft. Airstream base camp. A few other people but quiet and felt private. Little trail up a cliff to great views. Would definitely stay again.

Very quiet night when trafic stops. Would stay again.

Nice place, especially when you see the sheep! It gets pretty busy quickly, 5 parties there already. If you're lucky you meet really nice people at these community camp sites. Ok cell service. A little creek at the far end site for water. Outhouses a 1 min drive in both directions on the highway.

This spot was absolutely beautiful we ended up staying for 3 nights. Trailer is 22.5 ft with Truck. The narrow road was no problem but getting in from the road was a bit sketchy. Just a bump to get over but it was loose gravel and sand. So we just got in! Saw multiple Rams while inside they came right up to the truck. There tons of firepits everywhere. Once in we stayed to the left more options. There were fresh bear tracks but we never saw any. Lots of dead trees to cut down food for fire! Took lots of great pics!

Still great in 2023. Snow has melted out. Road in is good for a car, handful of sites to spread out at.

October 10th, 2022 by felixhuellen

Perfect place, close to the NP border. Road only for vans and cars

Just east of Jasper National Park. many spots, road in isn't too bad, thinking it may be a bit greasy when wet. quick stop with fire pits.

Belle place pour passer la nuit. Plusieurs spots disponibles avec quelques trous à feu. Vraiment calme malgré la proximité de la route. Route de terre avec quelques trous mais facilement accessible. Ok aussi pour tente.
Vraiment proche de l'entrée du parc national.

small wntry next to the small parking lot, looks like a trail, Max 150 m than enough space, it is ok for big rigs, small branches, places huge, nice sunset, privacy possible, firerings, noise from the hughway

July 31st, 2022 by we.van.ish

Lots of vehicle and camper at night, all gone as soon as we wake up.

July 25th, 2022 by lutzie.feuerstein

Nice spot, we had the place on the right, which is for only one car, so a bit more private. Extrem amounts of mosquitos! We opened the doors for maybe 30sec and had over 100mosquitos in the car (not kidding, we counted the dead mosquitos). Took 30 min to kill all.

June 29th, 2022 by LaughWendy

Multiple campsites. Few mosquitoes last night. Saw one dead deer far off the end of the park. Slept in car to avoid any bears at night. Overall, it’s a very decent place when it’s sunny. In addition, it’s by the entrance of the National Park.

June 22nd, 2022 by alayne

the tracks were puddled and, not knowing the depths of the ruts, didn't feel comfortable taking our minivan through. I would have felt more comfortable with high clearance. we stayed at the rest stop instead!

June 19th, 2022 by the8hundreds

please be careful! Especially Tent Campers. There is a Grizzly Mother with two Cubs around the camp. Had to break off our tent and left.

May 24th, 2022 by avahorvath

absolutely incredible site! i can’t believe it’s free. 30 seconds outside the park!!

May 20th, 2022 by jwwskymaster

Road is not too overgrown. Was able to get my fifth wheel camper in and found one of the last flats spots to park it. Might be a little tricky turning around in the morning. Better to do it in the light than at dusk. Pretty quite, not much road noise. In a tent there is probably more.

May 7th, 2022 by janasondermeier

as described! amazing spot just 5 min from the entrance of the national park :) lots of wildlife about

Nice spot just outside of Jasper National Park. Bumpy gravel two track road to campsite which was busy when we pulled up at 6:30pm on a Saturday. Some highway noise as expected but we didn't mind.

July 3rd, 2021 by ibuprofanity

Good spot to stay just outside the national park boundary, quite busy on a Friday but people tend to just stop in for a night while visiting jasper. Short bumpy road in, got down easily in a minivan but might be difficult for very large rigs. Can be pretty bad for mosquitos.

August 19th, 2020 by pascarsen72

Great place with a lot of campsite and fire pit, near the highway, Jasper and a foodmart!

August 14th, 2020 by proteau.jeff

Very nice spot. Calm very close of the park. Good for moore than one night

August 5th, 2020 by eli.dannenbaum

leave no trash sign, beautiful site, small cliff to climb but looks like losts of loose rock

August 5th, 2020 by sophiegee15

nice convenient spot. only saw a couple other campers there. human-made fire pits available. do not forget bug spray.. there was a horrible amount of mosquitos, had to drive off in the morning without cooking breakfast cos they were eating us alive!

July 28th, 2020 by mxttcz

Good spot, a little loud but lots of space and fire pits.

However, this has been the worst spot I have yet encountered for mosquitoes.
Very intense.

July 4th, 2020 by juliannefreitag

Depending on which direction you are coming from: there is a pullout right after the Jasper check point or before if you are going towards Jasper ... and then follow the dirt road. Big spot. We camped there with at least 8 other campers ... Close to Jasper!

July 3rd, 2020 by royal.bourbon

Indeed a very nice place if you want to explore the national park. We spent 3 nights here because of the rain and it was very quiet. The old ford e150 with hightop made it pretty easy but the entrance is narrow so be careful.

June 20th, 2020 by stephen.hausler10

Super busy as none of the campgrounds were open yet. Plenty of spots to get in though. Would recommend getting in early for more privacy

June 18th, 2020 by joefgmartin

Subtle entrance but a fair amount of space for several cars and pretty tucked away and quiet from the highway. Plenty of friendly fellow travellers. Good spot!

August 19th, 2019 by gmail.com

Dirt two track road right after you exit the park. Truck camper barely made it with the over growth. Vans no problem. Nice areas. There are three spots with fire rings
Good for on night- some traffic noise. But free!

August 13th, 2019 by pagesrougesetnoires.wordress.com

Nice place very close to the park, with a lot of other overlanders, fire pits... in August 2019 after a rainy week end we had a LOT OF MOSQUITOES, really they were like 500 at the spot where we pitched our tent so... brace yourselves

June 1st, 2019 by lamornaharpin

A few other cars and vans here, fire pits (although fire ban in place), turning is immediately after exiting the park.

May 29th, 2019 by manuel.aebischer89

As described below. Good spot for overnight bevor entering into jasper NP. The entrance road is wide enough for a motorhome... not sure if wider RV‘s will fit in the narrow road.

September 30th, 2018 by axel.masson.0

I slept there last week, this time not alone but way enough place. You can here the trucks on the road

August 15th, 2018 by instagram.com/_clarish_

Not bad. We stayed one night. About an other 8 cars where parked. Very close to the entrance of the park.

August 10th, 2018 by adventuringashley

Cool little spot. A few fire pits made. Lots of parking. Some locals had a camp set up there. Also ran into some travellers from France and Argentina! Don’t need 4x4 to get in if dry but not sure about the clearance. Trees are a little low .... not really ‘Big Rig’ friendly although the locals did have a trailer in the site!! No amenities. Nice sites and just outside of the National Park! Some firewood had been cut for use as well. Close to the road and was some construction but I still recommend!

July 21st, 2018 by patfux

Nice place to stay for one night before or after entering the national park. A small gravel bumpy road that goes away from the parkingplace lead's 50m to the places, then you have enough space....
there are no facilities. It is near on the street, so you can hear the trucks at night.
I am unsure if it's ok for bigger RV because the entrance is very narrow....
