Mosquito Creek Campground🦟🏕️

🔗 BOOKINGS & DETAILS

✅ TIPS FROM DEV, LINKS & SAFETY

  • Pack bear spray and store food properly - you are in bear country.

  • Great home base for nearby trails in and around the Bow Lake & Hector Lake areas.

  • This is a first-come, first-served campground, so I recommend getting here earlier in the day to be sure you get a spot. For more details see Banff Camping
