2026 drive-in season May 15 to Sep 30 (Robson River to Oct 11). Berg Lake Trail campgrounds need reservations late May to Sep 30; off-season camping there is free and first come, first served.

Camp under the Rockies’ highest peak.
Three campgrounds at the foot of Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, an hour west of Jasper. Robson Meadows and Robson River have showers and roomy, private sites; Lucerne sits on Yellowhead Lake with no running water. The Berg Lake Trail, reopened after years of flood repairs, climbs past Kinney Lake and Emperor Falls to glacier-fed Berg Lake, and its summer permits go on one launch day.
