| Jan 19, 2022 at 15:47 | comment | added | gerrit | @DJClayworth It's been a while since I was there, so I'm not sure. I think sometimes the sites were probably less than 100 meter from water as the crow flies, but further than that as a human would walk (for other animals it probably depends on the species). Lesser visited parts of Jasper do allow dispersed camping (not widely advertised). And several mornings I woke up in the middle of a water source, which was usually white and frozen ;-) | |

| Jan 19, 2022 at 15:03 | comment | added | gerrit | @DJClayworth I didn't find it hard to camp 100m from water sources in Jasper National Park, but the Algonquin would be a different story, certainly if swamps are included. | |
