Overview
About Honeymoon Lake Campground
A tiny, rustic gem right off the Icefields Parkway, Honeymoon Lake Campground sits directly on its namesake lake. With roughly mid-30s sites spread across two small loops, it’s about as tranquil as front‑country camping gets—think mirrored peaks at dawn and loons at dusk.
Why stop
- Small, peaceful lakeside setting with mountain views
- Covered camp kitchens, pit toilets, and potable water cistern
Heads up
- First-come, first-served and fills quickly
- No hookups; better for tents and smaller rigs
Lakeside campsites and constant mountain views give this place an outsized wow-factor for its size.
