Weekend Trip to Glamping Yurt at Radius Retreat
We had a wonderful glamping experience at Radium Retreat! 🌲✨
The site was easy to locate and fully drivable, which made arrival stress-free. The place is very clean and well-kept — you can tell the owner puts a lot of care into it, and we particularly like the composting toilet. The indoor fireplace was a lovely touch and easy to set up, we had a good sleep during the stay. We also enjoyed the privacy — we didn’t see other groups during our stay, so it felt like we had the entire retreat to ourselves. For a natural site like this, it was a pleasant surprise to have bio-friendly shampoo and body wash provided when we arrived at the shower place.
A few things to note: the The watering hole/shower room is about a 20-minute walk from the Warren, so be prepared. Reading the map and guidebook in advance is highly recommended, as there are some activities that the retreat site can offer. We could have got lost if we didn't read the instruction getting to the watering hole (There is one more junction that the map didn't show). More photos online would also help guests get a clearer idea of choosing yurt or getting around. Lastly, reserve extra time to explore the trails — I didn’t get the chance this time and wish I had!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-run glamping getaway.

It was such a beautiful spot. We tented it for one night by the river. Everything was pretty wet but we thought it was worth it for the view and sounds of the river. We had our dogs with us who loved being able to play in the water. Just such a perfect place. We wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely coming back for our river spot again if we can.

I love this campground 10/10 would recommend. I will admit that I was nervous to pick this spot after reading some of the reviews, however we needed a spot for the long weekend that was close to the city since I was hosting a nature ceremony so we needed somewhere that could accommodate lots of guests not too far. They have quite a lot of land out there with lots of cool things to explore. The moment we drove in we seen horses and bison! 🦬 (In a pen now, they no longer just wander) These man at the check in trailer was very friendly and gave us lots of wood for good price. There was lots of interesting sights on the property, a modified bus, some farm equipment and playground structures and what looked like an indigenous market area, I suppose to some it might look like junk however we all thought it was cool. They have several different sections-a glamping area with domes, some tipis, trailer area and tenting area. This is a perfect spot if you are coming with a large group. Access to the river (perfect for hot summer days, thank god cuz it was so hot when we were there) And this place is close enough to Bragg Creek you can run to town if u need anything and you will still get cell service here. 👌 And the outhouses weren't to bad when we went.

We had a great time Glamping here with our two little boys! It was the perfect way to camp in comfort (and warmth) with them. The cabins/tents and bathrooms were clean and well maintained. There was access to running water (non-potable) for dishes. The sauna was brand new and a definite touch of luxury. The staff were so friendly and approachable.

4 nights at Trappers Hill Lodges & Campground
Wow what an experience, the drive up was a bit rough our first time but after the 2nd time it was no problem, our Honda civic got us through no problem! We loved the view from our cabin and enjoyed the sauna and Cold plunge after long days and in the early mornings. And we had Dusty (Campground cat) keep us company during the rain fall in the mornings and cuddles by the fire at night time on our last night. Coming from manitoba to camping in the mountains was an absolute adventure and would/will 100% come back, we had a leak in our cabin but Pete came and sealed it up the next day and gave us a free bundle of wood for any troubles we delt with. I recommend this place highly as its an experience you will never forget! Me and my honey will never forget our adventures there and am glad we found this gem.

The place is quite and there is a beautiful view. The tenants are adorable and very helpful.
I was impressed because there were showers and a sauna ! I can't remember being that on the website when I booked. We could also make our own fire next to our shelter.

I am so happy I found Onespot Crossing. I travelled from Ontatio to watch the Calgary stampede with my boyfriend. We had issues with the original campground we booked in Calgary as they would not allow trailers older than 2000.
Onespot crossing campground was able to accommodate us last minute and were amazing to deal with. They helped to make sure we were able to see the full show in Calgary but had a safe place to come to sleep after!
It was a large beautiful campground with many sites, very private and and toilets to use.
I would definitely camp there again!

The most beautiful place i've stayed at.
The morning view was great.
The tents were awesome, kept the heat from the morning and with our sleeping bags it was more than sufficient. We had kids with us so was afraid it would be cold at night, but there was no issue.
5/5.
The host also comes to give us a quick info, and suggestions on area to visit if we're in town etc.

Weekend Trip to Back 40 Outdoor Events
We loved our stay at the Brisco tent. Super cozy and clean glamping site with stunning views and friendly and attentive hosts. Listing photos are accurate to what it was like IRL. We enjoyed meeting the other guests at the site as well. Perhaps my favorite part was the outdoor toilet!!

A beautiful space in the middle of the mountains! The tents were incredibly clean and comfortable. Appreciated the sheets on the beds as I forgot some!!
They are not joking about needing clearance underneath the vehicle though as the last part of the road was quite off roady!

It was our first time in the area and at Trappers Hill. We normally head to the National Parks - so glad we didn’t this time!
We stayed in a Trappers Cabin - exceptional view!! with a comfy cabin, rustic and peaceful. The shower facilities and outhouses were well maintained and the camp managers, Pete and Erin (and family) made us so welcome.
We spent some time at nearby Ghost Lake and a hike near Canmore - about 1 hour away. It was a perfect weekend and we already booked again for August.

1 night at Trappers Hill Lodges & Campground
I discovered this place by chance and chose to stay here as the final stop of my Banff-Jasper road trip.
Although I arrived late, I could instantly feel how amazing this place is.
The sauna was excellent, the cabin was beautiful, and the off-road trail was just perfect everything came together to create such a precious memory.
I highly recommend this place.

Quiet other than the generator running a lot of the time. Expect rustic, back to nature and no amenities other than porta potties. Deer running through our campsite! Very rough road.

This is an amazing space, and was a truly special experience being able to stay. Can't say enough. The yurts were spacious, and the camp was fully equipped to ensure comfort. The fire pits and views were particularly perfect.

The best mountainous camping near Canmore guide
Where to go
Banff National Park=
An iconic playground of craggy mountains, winding canyon trails, and crystal-clear, glacial-fed lakes, Banff National Park is a dream destination when visiting Canmore. It features 13 campgrounds, including those offering RV park camping, so no matter your mode of travel, you’ll find the ideal home base for your trip. Stop in at the must-see Lake Louise for a canoe on the mineral-rich, turquoise waters, or take a 3.5-km hike up to Lake Agnes Tea House—a traditional 1905 log cabin with over 100 fine loose-leaf teas and homemade meals. Book a horse rental to head up in the most traditional and laid-back way possible. If you’d rather get your heart rate up, cycle the Bow Valley Trail, a 48-km journey with endless views of the Canadian Rockies.
Bow Valley Provincial Park
Bow Valley Provincial Park is less visited than Banff National Park, but that’s a bonus for Hipcampers who crave peace and quiet. Here, the full-service campgrounds are decked out with fire pits and all the desired amenities, as well as rugged sites offering a backcountry experience. Stay at the Three Sisters Campground for easy access to the Bow River and a day of fishing, canoeing, or swimming. You’ll need to snag a Kananaskis Conservation Pass and register your license plate when camping at any provincial park or public land campsite in this area, while Hipcamp properties will put you in close proximity with easy access.
Bragg Creek Provincial Park
On the eastern side of Kananaskis Country, Bragg Creek Provincial Park is a scenic spot worth the visit, even with no camping offered within the park. Whether you’re spending the day exploring hiking trails, picnicking, or snowshoeing in winter, you’ll be surrounded by mountain peaks and water views of Elbow River. Just outside the park, campers can find wide-open parks offering both pet-friendly glamping and off-grid tent camping.
When to go
July and August are the best times to visit the town of Canmore if you’re looking for sunny days and warm weather. Those months also draw the most crowds, so for quieter campgrounds, try for a visit between April and June, or in September or October. Winter (between November and March) won’t be quite as busy as the height of summer, but you should still plan ahead and make sure you’re prepared for those classic cold winters Canada’s known for.
