A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park your vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.
Three reservable campgrounds and two group camping areas, plus three first-come, first-served campgrounds in this park offer varying levels of services and facilities. Tenters will find some walk-in tenting at Boulton Campground in addition to the entire campground at Mt Sarrail (First-Come, First-Served). RV users will find sites with Power/Water or Power/Water/Sewer hookups at Boulton Creek and Elkwood campgrounds.
The Kananaskis Lakes and surrounding mountains offer abundant recreational opportunities with many hiking, biking and cross-country ski trails. With Interpretive Programming and an amazing Discovery Centre, this park is not to be missed.
