This is a series of Banff campgrounds located at the base of Tunnel Mountain. If you want convenient access to the town of Banff, nice facilities, and a beautiful campsite. Just because the campground is just outside town does not detract from its natural beauty or opportunity to spot wildlife.

In fact, the campground is famous as visitors spot elk, bears, and occasionally the Bow Valley wolf pack every year. Nature is quite literally at the doorstep in Banff; because of this, it is vitally important that campers practice proper wildlife awareness.

The three separate campgrounds, Tunnel Mountain Campground I, II, and Trailer Court, are adjacent. These are the best facilities for camping in Banff, and the Tunnel Mountain Campgrounds are the only campsites that offer electricity hookups. Most importantly, they also have hot showers, which are a pretty sweet deal and not found at all the campgrounds in the park.

The Tunnel Mountain Campground has over 700 sites, so it can sometimes feel like you're in a parking lot. Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court is the least attractive but is designed for large motorcoaches and RVs. So, if you're camping in a tent or van, opting for other campgrounds or Two Jack Lake is a better choice. A big plus to this campground is the free shuttle bus to town, which Parks Canada operates.
