Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court

About Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court

Book here if you want RV camping without sacrificing proximity to town. This Parks Canada facility sits on Tunnel Mountain's south slope, putting you three kilometers from Banff's restaurants and shops while keeping you surrounded by forest. You get full hookups, which is rare in the park, and a location that works whether you're base-camping for a week or passing through.

The 188 sites split between powered and unserviced options. Most loops feature level gravel pads that accommodate larger rigs comfortably. Sites 1 to 48 offer the best views toward the Bow Valley, though they're also the most exposed to afternoon sun and wind. The comfort station is clean and well-maintained. Amenities include a dump station, laundry facilities, and access to the Tunnel Mountain hiking trail right from the campground.

Arrive early June through September if you want any chance at availability. July and August book solid months in advance. The trade-off here is noise: the Trans-Canada Highway's traffic hum reaches many sites, particularly the lower loops. This works best for RV travelers who want infrastructure and proximity to services over backcountry solitude. Tent campers should look at Tunnel Mountain's village sites instead.
