Mosquito Creek sits along the Icefields Parkway about 24 kilometers north of Lake Louise, offering 32 sites in a forested setting with views of surrounding peaks. The campground features vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no showers or hookups. Sites are first-come, first-served and fill quickly during peak summer months. Creek access provides water for filtering, and the setting feels more backcountry than typical Parks Canada campgrounds.
Open May through September, weather permitting. The access road is paved but can be icy in shoulder seasons. This makes a solid base camp for exploring the Icefields Parkway or as an overnight stop heading north toward Jasper.
