Beautiful Johnston Canyon is located just across the road and is well worth the hike up to both waterfalls and the Ink Pots. The Bow River is also located nearby. The campsites are nicely separated with trees and bushes, however this area is extremely crowded during the summer months due to it's close proximity to the Canyon and the town of Banff. Some highway noise can also be heard from within the campground. Nearby campgrounds include Protection Mountain, Castle Mountain and Lake Louise. Hikes to Taylor Lake, O'Brien Lake, Boom Lake, Bourgeau Lake, Johnston Canyon, Rockbound Lake, and Silverton Falls are also located near here.
