Accommodation

Yoho National Park

Campgrounds around Field, the Yoho Valley, and the Lake O'Hara reservation system.

Yoho National Park, BCcamping & booking

  • Reservable — Kicking Horse, Takakkaw Falls (walk-in, tents only), Monarch (FCFS in shoulder season)
  • First-come, first-served — Hoodoo Creek
Lake O'Hara is a special case: no private vehicles, so you either hike the 11 km access road or ride the reserved Parks Canada shuttle bus. Both the day-use bus and the campground are allocated by advance reservation / random draw earlier in the year — see Plan a trip to Lake O'Hara.

Hostels

Alpine Club of Canada huts

Huts book through the Alpine Club of Canada on a rolling window — six months ahead for members, three for everyone else.

  • Lake O'Hara Hut (Elizabeth Parker) — at Lake O'Hara, and allocated by the same winter lottery as the campground
  • Little Yoho Valley Hut (Stanley Mitchell) — Little Yoho, from Takakkaw Falls

The Wapta Icefield huts sit on this park's northern boundary but are reached from the Icefields Parkway — see Icefields Parkway and the Columbia Icefield.

These campgrounds are also the practical basecamp for Golden, which has none of its own — see Rogers Pass, the Selkirks, and Golden.
