HI Rampart Creek Wilderness Hostel
Banff National Park, Alberta
About half way between Banff and Jasper, HI Rampart Creek is a hiker's and climber's paradise with trails just out the door and bolted sport-climbing routes a five-minute walk away. After all that exertion, sit back by the campfire or take a brisk dip in the nearby glacier-fed creek.
- The Weeping Wall, bolted climbing routes & trails nearby
- Relax by the fire
- Off-grid living: limited solar electricity, potable water in gallons
Check-in: 17:00 - 22:00 (May to September) & 17:00 - 21:00 (October to April). Arrivals outside check-in times cannot be accommodated.

Group Bookings
HI Rampart Creek welcomes groups of up to 24 looking for a rustic getaway with easy access to alpine adventures. The hostel offers propane heating, lighting and refrigeration along with a fully equipped kitchen where groups use purified water for cooking. There's also a common area lounge with fireplace, an outdoor fire pit and a wood-burning sauna.
What I love about Rampart Creek is the scenery. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful of the hostels and your jaw will drop if you step outside the hostel on a sunny day to look around you at the surrounding mountains.
