Our self-registration campgrounds are non-reservable and are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis. To increase your chance of securing a spot, arrive early in the day and come mid-week.

Jasper National Park self-registration campgrounds include: • Snaring • Kerkeslin • Honeymoon • Jonas Creek • Icefields RV • Icefields Tent • Wilcox 18 Kerkeslin Campground Overﬂow Overflow Camping

Bare Campsite and Day-use Area Guidelines

You play a key role in keeping our wildlife safe while visiting Jasper National Park. Please remember to keep all unattended food, garbage, dishes/pots, coolers, bottles/cans stored in a hard-sided vehicle or in a bear storage locker. If an animal gets into human food they can lose their natural fear of humans, which can become a threat to visitors and the animals long term survival.

Note: Park staff will be roving around both campgrounds and day-use areas to support the ‘Bare’ Site Program.

‘Bare” Campsite Camping Regulations

Please help us make our campgrounds enjoyable places to stay by co-operating with the following regulations: • Quiet, liquor and fire ban hours are from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. • One vehicle and one sleeping unit per site maximum. • Generator hours are from 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. • Pets must be on a leash and never left unattended. • Keep all vehicles and camping equipment within the designated site.

Safety note: In the event of extreme winds, it is highly recommended that you move to an open area, away from the risk of falling trees.

Fort St. James Trading Post

Fort St. James National Historic Site This year marks the 100th anniversary of Parks Canada’s national historic sites and of course Canada’s 150th birthday. So what does that mean? A whole lot of celebrating is what that means!

Fort St. James, our ‘sister’ national historic site will be inviting visitors all summer long to take part in the festivities and enjoy complimentary entry. A restored Hudson’s Bay Company post, this site is situated on the picturesque southern shores of Stuart Lake, British Columbia.

If your visit to Jasper National Park has you heading west along Highway 16 passing Prince George, BC, Fort St. James is a fantastic place to bring your family! Live and learn the life that was among the fur traders and Indigenous People who bartered here in 1896. Feed livestock grazing in a fenced pasture and watch a heritage chicken race on a custom-built track.

Looking for a place to rest your head? Sleep overnight at Murray House and explore 19th century history after hours by flashlight. Or new this year, bring your tent and camp out under the stars on the historic property.

Open June 1- Sept. 24, 2017 • 250-996-7191 • [email protected] pc.gc.ca/fortstjames FortStJamesNHS

Icefields Parkway

Unpredictable mountain weather can change road and trail conditions instantly and wildlife can be anywhere, any time. These simple precautions will help ensure you have a safe and enjoyable visit.

• Check road conditions prior to heading out: call 511 or visit alberta511.ca. • Obey speed limits and watch for wildlife on the roadside. • Keep a ‘bare’ campsite. Visit pc.gc.ca/bare-campsite. • Make noise on the trails to let wildlife know you are coming. • Visit pc.gc.ca/jasperbackcountry to research and plan overnight trips, including potential trail restrictions, closures and avalanche conditions. Mandatory backcountry permits are available at reservations.pc.gc.ca or call 1-877-737-3783. • Let someone know your plans. Cell phones often do not work in the wilderness. Park Regulations Following park regulations while enjoying your national parks will help protect you, the land and our wildlife:

• Keep pets on a leash and under control at all times. Please pick up after your pet. • Take only photographs. It is illegal to pick flowers, mushrooms, cut down trees, branches, remove cultural artifacts or otherwise cause damage to natural objects or living things. • Be considerate of your neighbours. Liquor consumption is prohibited in public places, day-use areas and during set periods in campgrounds. Respect quiet hours and liquor bans in campgrounds. • Stay out of closed areas. Area closures or activity restrictions are implemented when visitors are at risk or when wildlife requires additional protection. Signs indicate the impacted areas. Check pc.gc.ca/jaspertrails for up-to-date trail reports. • Be careful with fire. Fires are permitted only in designated areas with fireboxes or firepits. Extinguish fires completely. Do not use deadwood, bark or branches for fuel. Report wildfires immediately by calling 911. • Buy fishing permits. Anglers require a national park fishing permit, available at Parks Canada visitor centres and other vendors. Provincial licenses are not valid. • Going boating? Check with Parks Canada Visitor Centre staff before you plan your trip. Gas motors are not allowed, electric motors are allowed on a few lakes. • Motorized off-road travel is not permitted. • UAVs/drones are not permitted for personal use anywhere in the parks.
