Budget in Jasper

In the summer, there is excellent camping in the campgrounds operated by Parks Canada. Throughout the year, it is possible to stay in private home accommodation - rooms or suites in residents' homes. Prices vary, but standards are high - full details of what is available can be found in the tourist office in town, or at . Hostelling International runs a series of hostels throughout Jasper National Park. Jasper International is the closest to town (7km south-west from Jasper on Whistlers Road, and is open all year), and four Wilderness Hostels which cater more towards trekkers and those people who "enjoy getting in touch with nature."
  • HI-Jasper, Whistlers Rd (turn west off highway 93 just south of the townsite), +1 780 852-3205 (toll free: +1 866 762-4122), . checkin: 1PM-11PM; checkout: 11AM. Open all year. This large 78-bed hostel was the original ski lodge in Jasper and has a good communal feel that is sorely lacking in many big-city hostels. It is the closest budget accommodation to the Jasper townsite and a great base for hikers. In winter, staff transform the surrounding property into a snowboarding terrain park. The large deck makes a great place for a BBQ in summer and there's an outside bonfire year-round. The hostel boasts a full kitchen, laundry facilities, tv room, comfortable common room, running water, showers, electricity, and very friendly staff. Be warned though, the dorms are BIG: 48 beds in the co-ed dorm and 30 beds in the female dorm can make for loud night. Bring earplugs. $20-$26/person for HI members, $24-$30/person for non-members, 4 private rooms are available too. Bookings recommended in summer months. �
  • HI-Maligne Canyon, Maligne Lake Rd (turn south off highway 16 just east of the townsite), +1 778 328-2220 (toll free: +1 866 762-4122), . checkin: 5PM-10PM; checkout: 10AM. Closed Wednesdays Oct-Apr, open all other times. This small, 24 bed hostel, is an excellent place to get away from things for a while. Though it lacks running water, you'll not miss anything else.

Edith Cavell towers over this little wilderness hostel set in a narrow valley. An ideal base from which to explore Angel Glacier, Cavell Meadows or the Tonquin Valley. The views are amazing!
