Mosquito Creek Campsite

Mosquito Creek Campground sits alongside the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park, approximately 24–27 km north of Lake Louise and roughly 83 km from the town of Banff.

Nestled beneath the rugged cliffs of Mount Hector in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, it offers an authentic, no-frills camping experience with unserviced sites suited for tents and small RVs up to about 8–10 meters.

The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis and includes outhouses, drinking water, a cooking and picnic shelter, fire pits, and food storage lockers. There are no flush toilets, showers, or cell phone coverage.

A sani-dump is not on-site, but one is available at nearby Lake Louise or Waterfowl Lakes campgrounds. Despite its name, mosquitoes are no worse here than elsewhere in the park.

The surrounding area offers spectacular mountain scenery, wildlife viewing, and access to hiking trails, with landmarks such as Bow Lake and Hector Lake nearby.
