One of the most scenic campgrounds and a great option for those travelling as a group.
This is a great base camp for groups looking to explore Abraham Lake and the Icefields Parkway. Each of the well-spaced sites offers great mountain views with the open prairie feel of the Kootenay Plains.
Group campgrounds require advanced reservations and work best if you are travelling as a group of at least 5 units. Each of the 8 sites can accommodate up to 30 units, making it a great option for larger groups as well.
