Jonas Creek Campground

We LOVED the price! It is $12.41 in US dollars. Lovely campground situated about 25 mins from the Icefield Centre and about an hour from Jasper. There was a firepit, pit toilets, drinking water, and a shelter house for cyclists. 25 sites.

Best suited for tenting, and motorhomes and trailers under 25 feet. May 17 - September 17

Very small CG near the Columbia Icefields. It's right off the highway, so there's some noise. The sites seem nice. Because it's in the forest, views are somewhat limited. I really like to walk when I'm camping, so it was kind of a downside that the campground is hemmed in between the forest and the highway, with nowhere to go walking. Otherwise it seemed nice.

The campground is as others have said, though the price is now $26 Canadian, which includes firewood. Walking up the hill into the tent areas was enough of a hike for me and my dog. I suppose if it had been crowded in the tent area, it would have been rude to use those paths for hiking but no one was up there.

There are a *lot* of little camp sites like this along the parkway between the southern park entrance and the town of Jasper. Most of them say "max length 25 feet." Our trailer is 33 feet overall. We took a chance and pulled in to take a look. We did manage to get in and out without issue but it would have been a real challenge for a newbie.

Except right by the road, you can't easily access the stream itself, though can certainly hear it and maybe even see it if your windows point northward. I supposed we could have made it to the stream if I had been willing to drag me and my dog through the undergrowth but, alas, I was not.

There was nothing pretty about this campground.It sits just off Hwy 93, so you get lots of noise from traffic. The spaces are close together and many of them are small. There were a couple drive thru site. The only good thing is the camp ground is first come first serve. We stayed at Wilcox campground and were glad we did.
