Portal Campground

Portal Campground is a backcountry campsite situated along Portal Creek in Jasper National Park, Alberta, used as a stop on the popular Tonquin Valley trail system.

It sits essentially trailside, requiring no significant detour to reach, and offers a small, no-frills setup with four tent pads arranged on a gentle uphill slope, along with picnic tables positioned conveniently beside the bear lockers.

The campground is compact and relatively rustic compared to other sites in the valley, but the views from the picnic tables are notably scenic.

It commonly serves as either a first or final night's camp for hikers completing the Tonquin Valley loop, with the Portal Creek trailhead providing access to and from the area.
