Rampart Creek Campground Banff National Park.

The Rampart Creek Campground is located in the Rocky Mountains on the Icefields Parkway 88km North of Banff. There are 50 unserviced sites with picnic tables and fire pits, fire wood is available when purchasing a fire permit. The campground consists of 4 loops including a walk in tent section with water stations, dry toilets, sheltered camp kitchens with wood burning cook stoves, garbage containers and recycling bins. This is Bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly. Some of the sites back onto the North Saskatchewan river with open views towards the valley. The cliffs on the East face of Mount Wilson located on the East side of the highway contain some the best ice climbs found in the world. In the winter months all the small water falls you see on these East cliff faces freeze into irresistible play grounds for ice climbers. The famous Weeping Wall, Polar Circus and Ice nine water falls are located within a few kms of here. The Weeping Wall is best viewed in the winter months as the entire cliff face freezes over. This campground is also located 28km from the Columbia Icefields and the Saskatchewan glacier, the head waters of the North Saskatchewan river. The Rampart Creek hostel is located across the highway.
