Protection Mountain Campground

Loved the views from the Campground. Majorly RVs can be seen parked in the campground. It has flush toilets which are well maintained. Would love to camp here again. There is no cell service in the campground.

We tried our luck at lake Louise campground and had no luck as we were very last minute and didn’t make reservations. This was so so much better than the lake Louise overflow as that is just a parking. Protection mountain campground has big spots and we can easily fit our 2 vehicles and a tent. Nice fire pit on our site and very close to flush toilets and water. (Would recommend site #28 for the best spot hehe) Great view and generally quiet at night as it was mostly adults. There was still quite a lot of space when we got to the site at 5:30 PM in July. *we were also warned by some Parks person that there was sighting of a grizzly bear nearby the campground. Might be a plus if you are looking to see some bears haha

It's a larger first come first serve campground in beautiful surroundings. Currently it's $24 per night. No hookups, but there are water spigots. No cell phone reception but Starlink and solar work well from many sites, little tree coverage. I was a bit disappointed that there are no trails connected to the campground, I only saw one on Alltrails by the train track across the road but it's not maintained, not walkable. However there are many trails nearby you can drive to. The train goes by a few times a day and you will hear some road noise but it's not horrible. Great campground overall.

Great views! I know this may not be everyone's type of camping, but I love it. No hook-ups or dump station. There is potable water and restrooms, no showers. First come, first serve. Definitely recommend

Well for bush camping... I guess it's OK. The road in was absolutely embarrassing for our National Park. It was so rough we almost lost our motorhome in the holes. The campsite was so narrow and barely fit the motorhome. No amenities other than a few washrooms with running water. Very little trees left. So sad. Just an open field.

Actually, not a bad site! Sure it's a field, but it's really quiet and was mostly adults who wanted to appreciate the mountain views. The underbrush is nice with several types of flowers in bloom and little trees trying to grow back in. We didn't wear bug spray once in 4 days. Compared to Tunnel mountain or Lake Louise campgrounds, there are only 2 sites here in the space they fit 5 at the other places near by. Flush toilets. Small fire pits. Sink for washing dishes and electrical outlets in the bathrooms. Filled up each night July 13-16. Bears on the road a few km away. Easy access to trails in Lake Louise, Yoho, or Icefields parkway. We will camp here again.

Great site, free wood, no showers. Peaceful at night, close to lake louise

Nice first come first served campground for RVs as there is little shade for others. We have a lot of solar power so not an issue to run AC. $23 CAN a night. Pretty quiet and nice views, long back in sites and not crowded during the week.
