The best forest camping in Kananaskis

·

Set up camp in the forests of Kananaskis and you’re in for crisp mornings, dense woods, and a chance to spot elk or mule deer right from your tent. With 59 forest campsites to choose from, you’ll find sites tucked along river bends and hidden in stands of spruce, with prices starting at $40 a night and averaging $82. Top picks include Cattle Ranch in the Foothills (161 reviews), The Point At Alborak (60 reviews), and Onespot Crossing Campgrounds (49 reviews). Most sites offer toilets, showers, and allow campfires, so you can end your day with a hot meal under the stars. Trails lace through the area for hiking or wildlife-watching, and if you bring a rod, there’s fishing nearby. Pack for cool nights and don’t forget your bear spray—this is wild country, and that’s half the point.
