Lake Louise — Protection Mountain
October 2026
About
Protection Mountain Campground is located 15 km east of Lake Louise on the scenic Bow Valley Parkway (Hwy 1A). This open campground offers impressive views of both Protection and Castle Mountains and is an excellent location for evening star gazing.
Campsites are unserviced and best suited for tents, or motorhomes and trailers up to 10 meters (35 feet).
RV campers may use the sani-dump located at Lake Louise Campground. There is limited cell coverage at the Protection Mountain site and on the Bow Valley Parkway.
Is Lake Louise — Protection Mountain fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches Lake Louise — Protection Mountain in AB for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification, with a link straight to the booking page.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching Lake Louise — Protection Mountain for cancellations is the paid part.
