Review:
Whistlers Campground is a very large campground located just outside the town of Jasper in Jasper National Park. Each loop has about 15 sites and they are pull-through, level, gravel sites with full hookups. Each site has a wooden picnic table and a fire ring, and firewood is provided free of charge.
The check-in area is huge with plenty of room to park large rigs. The check-in staff were very helpful, reminding us that there are bears in the area. A grizzly had killed an elk calf just the day before in the campground.
When we pulled up to our site, there were several female elk grazing nearby and evidence that a bear had visited our site earlier (scat). While there are fewer trees here than there used to be, we found the campground to be delightful—surrounded by mountains and a perimeter of evergreen trees, with updated bathrooms, and well-functioning hookups.
We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Jasper National Park.
