what to expect

The Marie Louise Lake Campground is renowned for large, lakefront campsites which provide excellent views of the Sleeping Giant. Sites 118-168 are located on the campground’s windswept point and are ideal for tenting while avoiding bugs. The pull-through sites 85-96 are perfect for larger trailers that require nearby electrical pedestals and easy access to a comfort station. Sites 200-221 are the largest, most private campsites in the campground and the distance to electrical pedestals can exceed 100 feet. Sites 310-319 are located along a 12 km one-way road on the opposite shore of Marie Louise Lake. Some of these campsites require a short 25-50 metre walk to access tenting location(s) adjacent to Marie Louise Lake.
