Winter camping

Jasper National Park

Parks Canada reservations in Jasper National Park for 2024 will automatically be cancelled and fully refunded

Reopening visitor offers requires removing hazards such as fallen trees, repairing infrastructure, and restoring several services, including emergency response services, garbage collection, washroom cleaning, maintenance. This work has begun, but these activities take significant expertise and resources.

Therefore, all remaining campground and associated reservations for this season will be cancelled and those with bookings will be fully refunded.

Additionally, all self-serve and backcountry campgrounds will remain closed until further notice.

Parks Canada is continuing to contact visitors to return camping gear, personal belongings and vehicles that were left behind. This process includes ensuring the safety of sites from hazards before belongings may be retrieved. If you have not yet retrieved your property, please continue to standby. When it is safe to return, you will be contacted.

Updates for the 2025 camping season will be communicated and shared on Jasper National Park’s website and social media channels when available.
