One of Banff's most scenic frontcountry campgrounds, right on the shores of Two Jack Lake with views of Mount Rundle. Stunning water, almost no privacy, and sites that vanish the day booking opens.
Two Jack Lakeside is the campground people picture when they think of camping in the Rockies. The lake is turquoise, Mount Rundle fills the horizon, and the sites right on the water are genuinely some of the best frontcountry camping in Canada.
Privacy is basically non-existent. Sites are close together with minimal tree cover. If your neighbours are loud, you will know about it.
The views more than compensate. Just go in knowing it is a social campground rather than a quiet one.
Sites 36–38 are the money spots – directly on the lakeshore with unobstructed Rundle views. Site 64 is slightly more private.
Book the second reservations open; these fill within minutes.
What it costs, what is there, and what to expect before you book.
Standard Parks Canada frontcountry pricing. Any car will get you in – no gravel, no clearance needed.
Two Jack Lake in front of you and Mount Rundle across it. This is the whole reason to book here.
Sites are close together with minimal tree cover. Bring earplugs on a long weekend.
Potable taps throughout, firewood sold on site, and bear-proof food lockers at every site.
Telus and Bell hold a weak 1–2 bars. Rogers gets nothing at all. Download your maps first.
Books up the day reservations open. Sites 36, 37, 38 and 64 are the ones to aim for.
I post the campsites, the lakes and the occasional 5am view before any of it makes it onto the blog.
