Backcountry 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.

Jasper National Park is the largest and most northerly of Canada’s mountain national parks. It protects over 11,000 square kilometres of the Rocky Mountains, a beautiful and dramatic landscape supporting a rich variety of plants and animals.
Many of the park’s 1000 km of trails were established by early people, on foot and horseback, including Indigenous Peoples, fur traders, explorers and adventurers. This section of the Jasper National Park website is designed to give an orientation to Jasper’s backcountry trails and will help you start planning a trip that is exciting and safe with a low environmental impact.
The park offers something for everyone, from easy, one-night escapes to 10-day adventures. Camping is permitted in designated areas only with a valid national park camping permit and a national park entry pass.
