Flat spot just off the road, just outside of Canmore. Further from the railroad than the spot east of here, closer to the highway, so expect some noise but the road is quiet at night. We spent two nights here without a problem. There is another larger parking area two km east of here.
We don't have any photos of this place yet.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Spent the night with 3 or 4 cars. Quiet spot for overnight. Totally legal, I recommend.
Report Check-InBusy lot even during the winter. Much better service than the on 3km down the highway. Not suitable for a trailer or big rig.
Report Check-Instayed here for 3 nights, quite busy as we have always been at least 3 vehicles per night. not easy to find a level spot, bit noisy towards morning as it is next to the street. good solution when you want to avaid the overpriced campground in Banff though.
Report Check-Invery disappointing that such a place is entered here as an overnight stay, since any x arbitrary place where you can stand can be entered here in the iOverlander. a pity
there are many day use areas along the way. are open from 7 am. to 11 pm
sehr enttäuschend, dass so ein Platz hier als Übernachtungsplatz eingegeben wird, da kann jeder x beliebige Stelle, wo gestanden werden kann, hier im iOverländer eingetragen werden. schade
es gibt auf dem Weg viele day use Area. sind von 7- 23 Uhr geöffnet.😉
Report Check-InWe worked in Canmore for a month and slept every night here! It is only a gravel parking lot near the road but it gets pretty quiet at night. There are many other vanlifers and RV’s and you definitely have to arrive before 8 on the weekends and the high season. Very nice place. PLEASE! If you use the forest as your toilet, don’t leave your toilet paper in the forest! It gets nasty!
Report Check-Inwe slept there with two other cars, can fit 2 RV. We didn't see any " no camping " sign..
Report Check-InI believe this is the right spot that everyone's talking about... it's a very small gravel area just off the road on the Eastern end. It'll only fit a few cars, but there are many people who camp here. There are no signs you can't. I've camped here before without issues.

Report Check-InMany no camping signs between turn off and trail head. No “no overnight parking” though. Didn’t stay as we have a tent and didn’t think it was worth the risk
Report Check-Innot very nice, just a gravel lot by the road, I didn't stay. it's close to Canmore though.
