LM9 Camp

LM9 Aylmer Canyon is a backcountry campground in Banff National Park, Alberta, situated along the shore of Lake Minnewanka approximately 9 km from the trailhead parking area.

The site lies just past the Aylmer Lookout Junction, making it a convenient base for day hikes to Aylmer Pass and Aylmer Lookout. The campground has five sites spread out for privacy, along with a firepit that offers unobstructed views of Mount Inglismaldie.

The area supports abundant wildlife, including grizzly bears and deer, so visitors should take appropriate precautions. Between July 10 and September 15, Parks Canada directs campers from the nearby LM8 site to either LM9 or LM11.

Reservations are made through Parks Canada and popular summer dates can fill quickly.
