Tunnel Mountain Village II

Partial Shade

Banff National Park · Alberta, Canada · 1459 m elevation · Check-in 2:00 PM · Check-out 11:00 AM

Banff's only year-round campground, 2.5 km from town on the Tunnel Mountain bench, with electric hookups and transit to town.

Shade reality: Lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir bench, thinned for wildfire protection — a mix of shaded sites and open sunny pads with mountain views.

Season: Open year-round. Official page ↗
