Lake Louise Campground Banff National Park.

The Lake Louise Tent and RV Campground is located in the Rocky Mountains at the South end of the Town of Lake Louise on the Bow Valley Parkway. There are two separate campgrounds open all year round, one is for RV's (189 sites), the other is Tents only (206 sites). The RV sites have electricity, fire pits and picnic tables. Fire wood is available when purchasing a fire permit. Also available are, hot showers, flush toilets, disability access, sani dumps and interpretive programs. The Tents only campground offers fire pits, flush toilets, hot showers, disability access and interpretive programs. It also has an electrified entry gate and is completely surrounded by an ominous looking electric fence, to keep Bears out. This is Bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly. Both campgrounds are bordering the Bow river with hiking trails along it's bank. In the Town of Lake Louise you can find gas, diesel fuel, groceries and restaurants. Lake Louise itself is only 4km, 2.5 miles away and worth the visit (map). You'll see outstanding views of the Victoria Glacier and Lake Louise. Morraine Lake is also nearby, some of the best hikes in the Rocky Mountains are found here, Valley of the 10 Peaks, Larch Valley, Sentinel Pass, Eiffel Lake, Wenkchemma Pass, Paradise Valley, Consolation Lake. A difficult scramble to the summit of Mount Temple starts at Morraine Lake, beware, Mount Temple is a major peak (3543 meters). Mountaineering experience is a must, several people have lost their lives on Mount Temple. Allow 12 hours for a round trip.
