ACCOMMODATIONS

Campgrounds

  • Wapiti Campground - SUGGESTED CAMPGROUND. For information Google 'Wapiti Campground Canmore'. They do not accept reservations, but we are trying to make some arrangement with them and will keep you informed. They are the only campground in Canmore that accepts tents. This campground is on the West side of Canmore next to the Info Centre.
  • Spring Mountain Village - more expensive and only accepts self contained units and no tents.

Hotels/Condos/Rental Units

We make no recommendation. There are numerous places in Canmore, so Google 'Canmore Accommodation' and find something that suites your needs. Any accommodation in Canmore would not be that far away from Wapiti Campground/ Info Centre.
