Poised alongside the Maligne River, just above the spectacular depths of Maligne Canyon, this serene hostel is an all-season destination. Travelers will enjoy an array of hiking, cycling, and cross-country skiing trails. The nearby Skyline Trail offers one of Jasper National Park's most scenic hikes. This is a wilderness hostel with limited creature comforts - no running water, no showers or washing area, and no flush toilets. We do have purified water for cooking, a refrigerator, propane stoves and electricity for the lights.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

    The hostel is located just besides the river. I can say perfect location for camping. You can listen water flowing sound all day long. Everything is nearby within 10-20 minutes drive. Excellent customer service provided specifically from Manager....

    Very basic accommodations in the woods. Location was great for the amazing Park next door. 6 persons per room, who were extremely considerate. Outhouse, no shower, but a basic kitchen to use. Our stay was pleasant and I would recommend this...

    Ellie was a great host. Very knowledgeable about Jasper and the surroundings. A lot of solo travelers, easy to meet new people at the camp fire It's back to basics, which gives it an adventureous / camping vibe
