Kicking Horse Campground

We chose this campground instead of Lake Louise because we thought it would be more remote, more authentic, less crowded. Boy it was a great decision! We stayed 5 nights and discovered the Yoho and Lake Louise area. Sites 40 - 45 offer good views of the mountain. The train horn can get loud and it takes about 15 minutes to pass by because it circles around in the tunnel spirals.

Camping is nice, our spot n18 was near a little stream and isolated from the others which was nice. No firewood provided when we were there so they gave us a refund. Big issues here : train noises, the train is doing those 2 loops in the mountains so you hear it forever + it honks like crazy at night, bring earplugs and be prepared to be awaken a few time a night…

This was definitely one of our favorite campgrounds! We had site 71 and it was beautiful! Hearing the river and having it right off our site was amazing. The site was wooded and the facilities were nice and clean. We would absolutely stay here again!

Lucked out and got a last minute site for this week as our original site in the Takakkaw Falls campground was closed due to bear activity in the area. Best campground ever. Lots of tree cover, quiet, and so beyond beautiful. There’s not a single bad site and all the bathrooms around the campground were actual bathrooms, not outhouses or porta potties. Even from the further end of the campground, you can always hear the river, which I loved. Everything is within a 3-5 minute walk, including the beautiful and new shower house and bathrooms. With lots of hot water!!! Cell reception is iffy, but is not necessary as Field is very close by if you need to check emails, send messages, etc. Will be staying here for many camping trips to come. My new favourite campground!

This place was one of the coolest campgrounds I’ve been to in my life. The river access and quiet/dark atmosphere was perfect for sleeping and campfires. I would recommend the campsites at the bottom next to the creek they’re more isolated and have easy access in and out. Obviously take the ones on the river if you can but if not, site 7 was beautiful.

Spectacular location. Unfortunately Yoho National Park must be a Grade C Park. Other than a newer washbouse, Kicking horse Campground leaves much disappointment. Poorly maintained facilities compared to other National Park Campground Experiences. I do recommend a night or two.

Monarch was a lovely and quiet campground. The mountains view was spectacular. Clean all around and patrolled. Stayed there 2 nights on the way to Vancouver and 1 night coming home. First come first serve.

Really helpful staff and some good services. Showers were hot and the laundry was perfect and easy to use. We had a nice spot away from the front.
