Waterton Town Site Campground Waterton National
Park.
Campsite is located at the South
side of town on the shores of
Waterton Lake. The wind here can
blow the eggs off your plate. Waterton National Park can be a
windy place, several large
electricity generating wind farms
are located just outside the park. This
campground offers campsites for both
tents and larger RV's, but if you're
a nature nut or you like your
privacy, stay at
Crandell
or
Belly River.
However if you want to explore the
town of Waterton, the location is
perfect. Restaurants, clothing
stores, souvenir shops, ice cream,
coffee shops, candy & chocolate
shops, liquor stores, grocery, gas
stations( no diesel fuel available
anywhere in the park), Waterton Lake
boat tours, hotels and night life
are all within walking distance. There
are 238 campsites, 95 are fully
serviced for RV's. Reservations are
available for this campground; see
the official website link below. There
are also hot showers, food storage,
communal kitchen shelters, recycling
bins, and a sani dump. As
you can see in the pictures below,
Mule deer can be seen throughout the
campground.
This is
still Bear country,
food and food related items must be
stored properly. Several
hiking trails offering
beautiful views of Waterton Lake can
be found near the campground. If you
have a boat or want to charter one,
there are several boat access trails
offering excellent overnight or day
hikes. Waterton Lake holds large
Lake Trout, record being 24Kg,
51lbs. If you decide to go boating
on your own, beware of the winds and
rough water on Waterton Lake. Strong
winds blow from South to North down
the entire length of the lake-valley
creating serious small craft
warnings. Canoes and boats under
6m-18' should avoid this lake.
