Wapiti - Q, R, RR

What did the teddy bear say no to ice cream? Because he was already stuffed. 

A great campground right on the Athabasca River. 

It’s an older national park campground with some modern amenities (e.g. shower houses). 

Pros:

Good sized sites

Some privacy (there’s actually trees)

River access

Cons:

Can get busy

Close to busy highway

There is a fantastic trail right along the river, with numerous points of access and lovely benches. If nothing else, walk the trails, the views are great. 

There is a leisurely 3km trail into Jasper townsite, although it’s about 6km from downtown Jasper to the actual campground. There is a fun pedestrian underpass at the train tracks as the train traffic is heavy. The trail is very bike friendly and expect to see a lot of e-bikes as they are rentable in town. 

While there make sure to take in some of the other local attractions including the very swimmable Edith Lake and Athabsca Falls.
