LM9 Aylmer Canyon Campground Introduce

Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Improvement District No. 9, Alberta, the LM9 Aylmer Canyon Campground offers a serene escape for outdoor enthusiasts. Located just a 9km hike from the parking area, this campground follows the picturesque lakeshore and leads to a campsite just past the Aylmer Lookout Junction.

The campground features spacious and well-spread-out sites, ensuring privacy and a peaceful atmosphere.

We had 2 close encounters with some grizzly bears, so be cautious."

9km hike from the car. Follows lake shore out to campsite just past the alymer lookout junction. Lots of bears in the area! There's a third campsite at 11km. Fires allowed near the food area. The sites are spread out nicely.

Great campsite, but I would suggest going 2 more kilometres to get to LM11, which is even more beautiful. Watch out for bears since we had 2 close encounters with some grizzly bears!
