All campsites in Townsite Campground are on the Parks Canada Reservation system. Located at the south end of the Waterton townsite, this campground offers 238 sites (95 of which are fully serviced), hot showers, flush toilets, food storage and kitchen shelters. There are no individual firepits. This open, mowed lawn campground, exposed to winds from Upper Waterton Lake, is an excellent place for RV's or for those who wish to be within walking distance of town amenities. Reservations are advisable if you plan to travel on a long weekend, or if you require a serviced site. Mule deer, bighorn sheep a ground squirrels are commonly seen in the campground."

+ D+ g+ w0 E3 v; hCrandell Campground: mid-May to Labour Day ( Fees ) (Campsites are available only on a first-come first-serve basis.)1 A4 _8 A' P# z
Located along the Red Rock Parkway in the scenic Blakiston Valley, this campground is set in a pleasant montane forest. It offers 129 unserviced sites, flush toilets, piped water, kitchen shelters, some fire rings and firewood, food storage, recycling bins, and a dump station. All sites are back-in, and loops may be tight. We recommend that only camping units shorter than 9.5 meters/30 ft use this campground. Crandell Mountain offers some shelter from our predominantly southwest winds, and Crandell Lake is a short 2 km hike from the campground. Mule deer and black bears commonly wander through the campground so our Bare Campsite Program is an important part of the management of the area. Additionally, recent efforts to plant native vegetation are restoring some damaged areas.5 \. h* j! y6 g. D8 V& E7 ^4 I

Pets% d& c" K+ e) u
Please keep pets on a leash at all times. Don't leave them unattended outside, especially at night. They can attract carnivores such as bears, cougars, wolves, or coyotes, and may be attacked. If they must be left out, confine them in a kennel with a secure top.& N) E% O6 E/ G
+ S! o; W; {$ V: r* t9 YBe cautious when walking your dog. The mule deer in town may have fawns and will aggressively defend them, especially in spring. They often attack without provocation, and can seriously injure or kill a dog. If you see a deer, leave the area immediately.

Wildlife5 f1 Z0 @9 c! b) e
Animals rely on every part of this landscape for their survival. Their travel routes, natural food sources, mating grounds, and resting sites don't necessarily stop at the campground boundary. This means you may encounter wildlife at any time. Be aware of your surroundings, especially at dusk and dawn, or in densely vegetated areas. Read Keep the Wild in Wildlife for advice on safe viewing practices. Please immediately report all bear, cougar, or coyote sightings to park staff.

Campgrounds in Waterton Lakes National Park have a Bare Campsite program in place. A special effort is being made by park staff and campers to ensure that no wildlife attractants are left unattended at any sites in these campgrounds. The Bare Campsite program is in place for your safety, and to help keep the wildlife in our national parks alive and wild.9 ?2 e, t: s. W% P$ t8 a( r5 K
7 q$ m- |7 A/ Y8 I* k7 b
Anything that has an odour or could be considered food may attract wildlife to your site. Place garbage in bins, avoid cooking inside tents and tent trailers, and store all food supplies, including coolers, in your vehicle. When people leave their food out, bears and other animals attracted to it can lose their fear of humans. Once an animal gets used to human food, it becomes a risk to public safety, and may be destroyed. By keeping a bare campsite, you're playing an important part in preventing the creation of problem animals. $ ]7 G; W( P9 u% f0 A
