Wapiti Campground (Canmore)

mixed review. good for a stop-over but get there early it fills up fast! bathrooms need tokens and staff are no onsite to buy from in the evening. bathrooms were also dirty. freeway noise and views meant we didn't sit outside. BUT canmore is worth the stop!!!! so this makes a convenient and possible option when other places are full. i'm glad it's here and would stay again.

What do you get for your money? Bathroom had no tp, soap, paper towel (some guy used those cardboard rolls to wipe himself and left them on top of the toilet). Couldn't buy shower tokens as service attendant not around. Noisy (wait for the train) and ground was hard. Also, charge is crazy expensive if you're not sharing tents. One of the worst campground experiences I've had. Recommend to stay away

We were kicked out by the host. When we arrived there was no one at the office but there was registration card with envelope outside next to the office. We picked out a site that was not occupied filled out the registration card left it on the electrical post then we presume to set up our camper. After the camper set up went to check the office to pay..a lady host was there to take the payment. Soon after the hosts both of them came to tell us that we have to go that the site was reserved to a German family and no other sites available. I explained to him that there was no card that said occupied on the post. He said he had put one on there half hour ago. Fine I said return our money. I can’t help but feel discriminated as we were the only First Nations family I noticed at that campground. I don’t like to pass judgement like this.Not a good feeling to have.

Jasper: It’s a great camping site and we choose to stay here because it has washrooms and shower rooms available. They’re clean and well - maintained. The showers were quite far from our tent and we had to take the car each time. $40+ a night is definitely great value for money.

Stayed 1 night and would never stay there again! The campground was nothing special. We have been travelling for 3 weeks now, and it was the worst experience so far! The bathrooms were gross, no toilet paper, hand soap or towel for drying your hands. The people who run the place live in a van and have a no trespassing sign in front of the van, so they don’t care. Save your money and stay somewhere else.
