Parks Canada has started a NEW Campsite Reservation Service in 2007 for its campgrounds in participating national parks. In the past it was not possible or very difficult to reserve, so I think you will like this great new service.
You can now make reservations on-line at www.pccamping.ca or by calling 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783). This service is available on-line (www.pccamping.ca) 24/7 or by telephone (1-877-RESERVE) from 7 am to 7 pm local park time.
For International Visitors:
Phone: 1 514 335-4813

CAMPING: CANMORE AND KANANASKIS
Kananaskis Country consists of 8 provincial parks and recreation areas with various recreational uses and facilities. The above link will provide you with information on the following areas of the Kananaskis:
1. Bow Valley Provincial Park
2. Barrier Lake / Ribbon Creek
3. Sibbald
4. Elbow River Valley
5. Sheep River Valley
6. Highwood / Cataract
7. Spray Lake
8. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park
Parts of the Kananaskis are accessible by
Canmore,
the small mountain town located between Banff and Calgary. Canmore itself, although once part of the early Banff National Park, is not part of a park today. The Canmore Nordic Centre is part of Kananaskis Country as is Spray Lake, both within very close proximity to the townsite.
