Two Jack Lakeside Campground

We had by far the best campsite in the ground and were very pleased with the view and size of the site. We easily fit 2 tents and a large truck with room for another vehicle. Not all the sites are this large and we saw many people struggle to fit their equipment on their site. This is a very popular place for families, paddle boarders and dogs. Because of how small the grounds are it feels very intimate in the trees and can be noisy from all the kids/dogs.

Spent 3 nights at Two Jacks right on the water - it felt like the best spot on the whole campground. The parking spots were a bit tight so with our big truck it was a bit hard to park. The site was buggy so be sure to wear repellent at all times or you will be eaten. Bathrooms were nice and clean. We couldn’t find a drinking water spout although the map said it was by the bathrooms - not a huge problem since all of our hiking spots had water. Our only real frustration was that the designated site for the tent was rock hard so we were unable to stake our floor tarp and tent into the ground. We left our bigger bags inside to keep it from moving during the day so it worked out but it was initially a challenge to sort out. The site is worth it for the views alone.

The Otentiks site at Two Jack Lake was gorgeous. I can't wait to come back! The site itself was perfectly appointed: decent mattress, hot showers, bear lockers for storing food, BBQs at every site, and free wood for campfires. The lake had some cute access points for the beach, and plenty of picnic tables. Wonderful spot.

Tough hike with great views, but steep in from Vista Lake trailhead or flatter less scenic access from Twin Lakes trailhead. 5 tent pads with decent privacy from each other and the main trail. A large picnic table close to the food locker for cooking and several beautiful spots to sit and watch the lake with amazing views of Storm Mountain. Unfortunately there is no fire ring for campfires. Highly recommend!

Stayed in the walk-in sites, beautiful campground with very friendly staff. Facilities were good and clean. Some of the walk-in campsites are very close together so I would just recommend earplugs if hearing any noise bothers you.

Spent 2 nights at Two Jack Lakeside campground, site 12. This site was far away from the main part of the campground and was very quiet. I was able to launch my kayak close to the site. Free wood was a really nice option. As were full flushable bathrooms equipped with showers! Though they were a bit of a walk from the site. Highly recommend this site!

This is an excellent National Park campground with fire pits, showers and flush toilets. The sites close to the lake are the nicest but difficult to get. There are walk in tenting sites. It was a little crowded in the evening but everyone was polite and courteous. It’s wonderful camping in the mountains.

We weren’t here long but the campground is nice and sites have a nice amount of privacy. Bathrooms were clean and had showers! Lost a star because the quiet hour is very strict as can be seen from other peoples reviews. We have camped a lot and it’s significantly more strict then I’ve ever seen.

The views are absolutely amazing! Only 15 minutes from banff. This site has FREE showers AND fire wood which I was surprised about. They also have running toilets and sinks. Really enjoyed this site and everything it brought. Quiet time is at 11 which sucks but is understandable. The only downside to the site is it is so close together that sites are 10-20 ft apart. The walk up sites are extremely close to the car, maybe a 10-20 second walk which is nice. They have communal cooking areas as well. Most sites fit one tent, and they have specific areas for your tent so you can actually be guaranteed to be able to peg it down. Lots of tree coverage and shade as well. Really loved this site and will definitely be back in the future. Has a lot of perks that you wouldn't expect for a campsite. Bathrooms are also very clean and tidy, hiking trails near by and lake minnewanka is just up the road. Beautiful site and would highly recommend camping here.

Rangers do not care about parties during quite hours. Fire ban is only for those who obey their request- every night during the stay there have been fire and parties till 2am… Not family friendly - rangers are not doing their job well!
