Camping

The park’s main camping area is Kicking Horse Campground (mid-May–mid-Oct., $28), five kilometers (three miles) northeast of Field along the road to Takakkaw Falls [1]. Facilities include coin showers ($1), flush toilets, and kitchen shelters.

Back toward the TransCanada Highway, Monarch Campground ($19) offers more-limited facilities and less-private sites. Hoodoo Creek Campground, along the TransCanada Highway 23 kilometers (14 miles) southwest of Field, provides 106 private sites among the trees for $21 per vehicle. Amenities include flush toilets, hot water, kitchen shelters, and an interpretive program.

At the end of the road up the Yoho Valley [1], Takakkaw Falls Campground (July–mid-Sept., $19) is designed for tent campers only. Park at the end of the road and load up the carts with your gear for a pleasant 400-meter (0.2-mile) walk along the valley floor. No showers are provided, and the only facilities are pit toilets and picnic tables.
