Miette Campground (formerly Pocahontas)

Forested

Jasper National Park · Alberta, Canada · 1000 m elevation · Check-in 2:00 PM · Check-out 11:00 AM

Near Miette Hot Springs at the quieter east end of Jasper, good for wildlife spotting. Renamed Miette Campground by Parks Canada.

Shade reality: Montane forest near the park's east gate keeps most sites shaded through the afternoon. Untouched by the 2024 wildfire.
