Whistlers Campground Re-Opens in 2021!
One of the campgrounds that I am really excited to check out this summer is the newly renovated Whistlers Campground. Some of the new improvements include more combined washroom and shower facilities, improved campsites, and wider roads for two-way traffic.
A significant amount of work was done to the underground services (water, sewer and electrical systems). Many of the campsites that were already equipped with power were upgraded to 50 Amp service.
Where are some places that you hope to reserve a camping spot this summer?
The whistlers campground in Jasper does not excite us at all it looks totally bare now seems like most of the trees got removed so no privacy at all, I think Wapiti will have to be the go to or others in the area now. It’s so sad looking
