Clitheroe Camp

Clitheroe Camp is a backcountry campground situated in the Tonquin Valley within Jasper National Park, Alberta, positioned near the Astoria River trail corridor.

It sits at the highest elevation point along the Astoria River route and is considered one of the better-positioned sites in the valley, offering convenient access for day hikes to Amethyst Lake and The Ramparts.

The camp occupies a spot above the lower marshy terrain, which helps keep conditions drier underfoot.

A picnic area with large tables is nestled among the trees, and the site sits at a key trail junction where the Astoria trailhead route meets the path toward the Wates-Gibson Hut.

It serves as a popular base camp for multi-night Tonquin Valley itineraries, typically reached after roughly 16–17 kilometres of hiking from the Astoria trailhead.
