Banff Hostels and Campgrounds

If you really want to experience Banff National Park at its grassroots, simply pitch a tent in the backcountry, unroll a sleeping bag and remember to store your food in a bear-proof container. Or, bed down at a Parks Canada campsite, where nothing says wilderness like the woodsy smell of a campfire. But for those of you who cherish the comforts of home – on wheels – you can conveniently pull a recreational vehicle into a full-service campground just minutes from town, hook up the electricity and water and relax for the night. You’ll meet people from all over the world with a night at a hostel, where cozy and comfortable common rooms, communal kitchens and group excursions provide plenty of opportunities to socialize.
