E13 Egypt Lake Camp
E13 Egypt Lake Camp
Egypt Lake Camp (E13) is a backcountry campground in Banff National Park, situated in a meadow above Pharaoh Creek roughly 12–13 kilometres from the Sunshine Village trailhead. Despite its name, the camp sits about 0. 75 km from Egypt Lake itself.
The most popular approach follows Healy Creek Trail over Healy Pass before descending to the campground. The site offers 15 dirt tent pads spread along the main trail toward the lake, with some pads offering views of Healy Pass.
Two elevated outhouses are centrally located between clusters of tent pads, and a dedicated cooking area with a picnic table and food lockers sits on a spur trail. A backcountry permit is required, and the campground carries the Parks Canada designation E13.
It serves as a practical base for day hikes to nearby lakes, passes, and peaks in the surrounding area.
