Q&A: How can you reserve an RV campsite in Banff?

Posted on by Billy Banff

Banff, Alberta RV Campsite Reservation

Question:

I am interested in making reservations at the Tunnel Mountain RV Campground in Banff during June of this year but have been unable to negotiate your web site to do so. How do I make a reservation or is it first-come, first-served? I am traveling a long way (from Las Vegas) and would prefer to make a certain reservation but if possible. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Answer:
Visit Parks Canada Campground Reservation Service or call toll-free to 1.877.737.3783 (1.877.RESERVE) to reserve your spot at the Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court in Banff National Park. Please note that reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.

You may also want to visit Parks Canada for descriptions of all campsites (reservable and non-reservable) on national park grounds.

About Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court
This is Banff’s biggest campground area, with 320 sites. Staying here, you’ll get great views of the valley, the Hoodoos and the Banff Springs Golf Course. It is located on Tunnel Mountain, just 2.4 km from the town of Banff. That’s within walking distance! In addition to the campground’s services, food, laundry and even a waterslide are nearby!

And lucky for you, it is also the only campground in the national park that has full RV hookups available (15 and 30-amp electrical hookups, water and sewer). The sites can accommodate large RVs, up to 50-feet long, and are pull-through (not just back-in).

Some of the sites are reservable, while others remain open for visitors on a first-come, first served basis. The campground is open from early May to early October (reservable May 14- October 3).
