Alberta is chalked full of gorgeous spots to enjoy nature, and a spot in our Rockies has been crowned the “most epic” place to camp in Canada.

Scouts Canada interviewed 46,704 members to reveal the cream of the crop when it comes to the truly spectacular spots to camp in the country.

The survey revealed that 39.5% cited Alberta’s Jasper National Park as Canada’s #1 “most epic” camp destination in Canada.

When asked to name the most epic camping destinations in all of Canada, the Scouting community responded with this top five:
 Jasper National Park, Alberta – 39.5%
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, British Columbia – 34.6%
Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario – 32.9%
Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland and Labrador – 27.3%
Fundy National Park, New Brunswick – 22.5%

We mean, Jasper has been ranked as not only the best national park in Canada but one of the best in the entire world, so it makes sense it would have nabbed the top spot in this survey.

It also has the best golf course in Alberta too, according to Golf Digest.

Scouts Canada recently polled thousands of its members to determine the best campsites in the country, and one Vancouver Island park made the cut.

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, was considered the second "most epic" place to camp in Canada, according to Scouts.

The park narrowly lost the top spot to Jasper National Park in Alberta.

Scouts Canada came up with its ranking based on a survey of its 46,704 members across the country.

The world-renowned Pacific Rim park has also been a topic of conversation for the federal government and the U.S.-based publication, Time magazine.

Parks Canada recently announced the grand opening of a new 25-kilometre walking and cycling trail in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, which was completed in June at a cost of nearly $51 million.

Time magazine also named Tofino, B.C., one of the top 50 destinations in the world to visit this year, partly because of the new $51-million trail.

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve has a little something for everyone, according to Parks Canada.

Activities can range from hiking to surfing to learning more about local First Nations, including the Nuu-chah-nulth people.
