  Loved the privacy of the spots. Clean bathrooms with HOT water. Reservations online were super convenient.

  My only complaint is the lack of showers. The bathrooms are really clean though. It's further out than some of the other Jasper campgrounds, but that means it's quieter too.

  Harassment is the only way to describe our experience with the many park staff. We attempted to camp here with 2 couples for a week. We arrived first and set up our tent on the gravel tent spot and parked our car in a spot the looked like it was meant for a car as it was gravel as well. Our friends arrived a short time later and did the same. The first parks Canada staff came by "Hello, bonjour" and ripped us a new one for the placement of the car as well as the amount of "units" on the site. Again we paid for 4 ppl and had 2 tents, yet the cars that fit with tones of room left were too many units. Our friends had checked in at the front when they arrived and we're told this was fine. We moved the car and we're given a "pass" by the parks guy on the number of tents. Next day same thing. "Hello, bonjour" from a different parks employee saying we had to many units. We explained the situation and again the parks Canada worker "gave us a pass" to have 2 tents for 2 couples. Then "Hello, bonjour" you have bear attractants on your table as we had just finished lunch and had yet to put away the sealed coke cans or my toothbrush. Next day "hello, bonjour" again with the number of units on the site. Again a "oh then don't worry about it" once we had spoken to them about the situation. We came to fear the parks Canada trucks doing there ever so frequent checks. Now again this morning at 0830 while asleep in our tent that has been in the same spot for 5 nights and had 5 different parks Canada employees inspect it we are woken up by yet another "hello, bonjour." Now this guy says our tent in on green space. I promise you it is on gravel. The harrassment has been non stop from the staff here. There are no showers in the bathrooms. The water runs from the taps a milky snow white color. Wabasso is not a place to come camping with friends. Perhaps with a family that can share a camper or tent but their expectations for other groups is unrealistic. The staff is rude and does not communicate with eachother which truly has put a dark cloud over this whole trip for us. Won't be returning.

  The only thing that would make this quiet, pretty campground better is showers. The washrooms were clean, bright, and warm however with good hot water from the sinks. I was able to wash my hair at least. There is a beautiful trail by the river with great views of the mountains and a good playground the kids appreciated. Signs of bears, but we didn't actually encounter one. Easily accessible to many of Jasper's attractions.
