Campgrounds near Lamont, Alberta
Lamont sits in central Alberta, roughly 50 kilometres east of Edmonton and minutes from Elk Island National Park. The town works well as a base for RV travellers who want a national-park experience close to a major city, with rural campgrounds, Indigenous cultural sites, and dark-sky locations all within easy reach.
The closest park-run campground is Astotin Lake Campground inside Elk Island National Park, a fully fenced wildlife sanctuary known for bison, elk, and moose, and a designated Dark Sky Preserve overhead. Private options near Lamont include Elk Island Retreat and Kawtikh RV Retreat, both within a short drive of the park gates. South of Lamont near Tofield, Lindbrook Star Gazer Campground and RV Park offers powered sites and treed privacy under open prairie skies. North of Lamont along the North Saskatchewan River, Metis Crossing combines a riverfront campground with powered and non-powered RV sites and an Indigenous cultural centre. Together these properties cover national-park, private-RV, and cultural-stay experiences within a 60-kilometre radius.
Things to do near Lamont
Wildlife viewing is the main draw. Elk Island holds one of Canada's largest bison populations along with elk, moose, deer, coyote, and many bird species, and the park has one of the highest densities of hoofed mammals in the world after the Serengeti. Hiking and paddling on Astotin Lake fill summer days, and the park is one of the best spots in the region to watch the aurora and stargaze.
Families can swim and use the playground and beach area near Astotin Lake Campground, golf at the adjacent course, or take in interpretive programs at the Wahkotowin Visitor Information Centre. At Metis Crossing, RV guests can join voyageur canoe trips on the North Saskatchewan River, tour the buffalo paddock, try archery, and visit the Historical Village with Métis interpreters. Lindbrook Star Gazer Campground caters to amateur astronomers with open skies away from city light.

The camping season in this part of Alberta is short and tightly defined by weather. Astotin Lake Campground in Elk Island National Park operates from mid-May to Thanksgiving Day, weather permitting. Metis Crossing's campground typically runs from late May through September. Most private parks near Lamont follow a similar May-to-October window, though a few stay open into shoulder season for self-contained rigs.
July and August are peak. Sites at Elk Island fill quickly with Edmonton-area weekenders, and oTENTik units are limited. June brings the heaviest rainfall of the year and lush green landscapes, while May and September offer cooler nights, fewer bugs, and easier reservations. Wildlife is active year-round, but bison rut in late summer and elk are most visible in autumn. Winter shuts down front-country camping at Elk Island; the Astotin Lake Campground area is closed by Parks Canada bulletin through the winter months. Mosquitoes peak in late June and early July, so plan accordingly.

How to book campgrounds near Lamont
Astotin Lake Campground is reserved through the Parks Canada Reservation Service. Reservations are required for all sites in Elk Island, and the booking system opens in early January for the May-to-October season. Sites fill quickly with locals due to the proximity to Edmonton, so booking on the date reservations open is recommended. There are only five oTENTik units at Astotin Lake, so reserving early is especially important for summer stays. Phone reservations go through 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783).
Metis Crossing, Lindbrook Star Gazer Campground, Elk Island Retreat, and Kawtikh RV Retreat are booked directly through each operator's website or by phone. Long weekends and August holidays sell out earliest. A valid Parks Canada day-use pass is required in addition to the camping permit at Elk Island, and check-in is at the Astotin Lake Campground Kiosk.
What to expect
Expect aspen parkland, wetlands, and big skies rather than mountain scenery. Roads into the campgrounds are paved or well-graded gravel and handle large RVs, with pull-through sites available at Astotin Lake. The campground is equipped with showers, toilets, potable water taps, picnic tables, fire pits, firewood for purchase, and a dump station. Cell service is patchy inside Elk Island and improves on the highway corridor toward Lamont and Fort Saskatchewan.
Wildlife is genuinely close. Bison have right of way on park roads, and food, garbage, and scented items must be stored securely. Mosquitoes and ticks are present in summer, so bring repellent. Evenings cool sharply even in July, so pack layers. Grocery resupply, fuel, and propane are easiest in Lamont, Fort Saskatchewan, or Tofield rather than at the campgrounds themselves.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Lamont, AB
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Lamont, AB?
RV rental in Lamont is one of Alberta's better camping values, with most travel trailers starting around $100 to $175 CAD per night and Class C motorhomes typically ranging from $200 to $325 CAD per night during peak summer. Because Lamont sits just 7 minutes from Elk Island National Park and 45 minutes from Edmonton, you get national park access without big-city pricing. To find a cheap RV rental in Lamont, aim for May, June, or September shoulder dates and use the price filter to sort by lowest nightly rate. Pro tip: booking a Sunday-to-Thursday stretch instead of a Friday-to-Sunday weekend can shave 20 to 30 percent off your total, leaving more budget for a bison-spotting drive through Elk Island.
travelalberta.com/listings/lamont-rv-park-and-campground-26132What licence do I need to rent an RV in Lamont, Alberta?
Good news: your regular Class 5 Alberta driver's licence is all you need to rent and drive almost any RV in Lamont, as long as it is not equipped with air brakes. That covers travel trailers, fifth wheels, campervans (Class B), Class C motorhomes, and most Class A motorhomes on the RVezy platform. RVezy approved drivers are generally required to be 25 or older, and ID verification happens inside the platform so there is no extra paperwork at pickup. Visiting from another province, the US, or overseas? Your home licence works thanks to Canada's reciprocity agreement, and international guests should grab an International Driving Permit before flying in. If you are eyeing a big diesel Class A, message the host first to confirm whether a Q (air brake) endorsement is needed.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my Lamont RV rental protected if something goes wrong on the road?
Yes, every RV rental in Lamont booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can pull out of the driveway feeling covered. The protection plan safeguards renters against most accidental damage to the vehicle, which is reassuring when you are new to RVing. During checkout you choose the coverage level that fits your trip, and that decision is yours as the guest, not the host's. Combined with Lamont's quiet rural roads and the short hop to Elk Island National Park, it is a low-stress way to try RVing in central Alberta for the first time.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Lamont RV trip?
Plans change, and RVezy is built to handle that without panic. Every booking is backed by the RVezy cancellation policy, which is set by RVezy (not by individual hosts) and includes a grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence. Refund amounts beyond that grace period depend on how far out from your trip you cancel. The full policy details are on the RVezy Help Center, and the support team is available before, during, and after your trip if anything changes. Pro tip: book early to secure the best Elk Island National Park weekends, knowing you have that built-in flexibility window.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Lamont RV rental?
Absolutely, and Lamont is a fantastic launch pad for a pet-friendly RV rental. Many hosts welcome dogs (and sometimes cats), just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see only listings that allow them. Once you are rolling, Elk Island National Park welcomes leashed pets on most trails like the Amisk Wuche and Shoreline Trail, and pets must stay on a leash no longer than 3 metres. Lamont RV Park and Campground also permits pets on-site, and the town has plenty of open green space for morning walks. Pro tip: message the host before booking to mention your dog's size and breed, and ask about any cleaning fee so there are no surprises at drop-off.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/elkislandCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Lamont?
Yes, RV delivery in Lamont is one of the smartest ways to start your trip, especially if you're a first-time renter. Many RVezy hosts in the Lamont and greater Edmonton area will tow or drive the RV directly to Astotin Lake Campground in Elk Island National Park, Lamont RV Park and Campground, or even your own driveway, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Filter listings by Delivery to see hosts who offer it, and check their per-kilometre delivery fee on the listing page. Pro tip: ask the host to set up before you arrive so your first evening is spent watching the sunset over Astotin Lake instead of fumbling with stabilizer jacks.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/elkisland/activ/camping/astotinHow far can I drive from Lamont on a typical RV rental?
Plenty far, Lamont's central Alberta location puts you within an easy day's drive of some of western Canada's best RV destinations. Popular routes for an RV road trip from Lamont include Jasper National Park (about 430 km west on the Yellowhead Highway, roughly 4.5 hours), Banff National Park (about 510 km southwest, around 5.5 hours), Drumheller and the Canadian Badlands (about 320 km south, 3.5 hours), and Waterton Lakes National Park (about 700 km south). Most hosts include a daily kilometre allowance (often 150 to 250 km per night) with an overage rate of around $0.30 to $0.45 per extra km. If you're planning a big loop, filter for RV rental with unlimited mileage or message hosts to negotiate a higher cap upfront.
alberta.ca/about-albertaWhere are the best campgrounds near Lamont to stay in?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to the best campgrounds near Lamont. Astotin Lake Campground inside Elk Island National Park offers 71 sites with showers, flush toilets, and free-roaming bison just beyond your firepit. Lamont RV Park and Campground (4504 49A Street) provides full-service hookups, propane, and year-round availability right in town, 7 minutes from the park gates. Elk Island Retreat features 36 fully serviced RV sites plus glamping domes for guests joining you. Bruderheim Victoria Trail Campground (about 20 minutes west) and Andrew RV Park (about 35 minutes northeast) round out the options. Pro tip: Astotin Lake books up fast for summer weekends, so reserve through the Parks Canada Reservation Service the moment your dates open.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/elkisland/activ/camping/astotinWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Lamont?
The sweet spot for RV camping in Lamont runs from mid-May (Victoria Day long weekend) through Canadian Thanksgiving in early October, with July and August delivering the warmest days, around 23 C highs and long 16-hour daylight stretches. June offers fewer mosquitoes than midsummer and great bison-calf viewing in Elk Island. September brings golden aspen forests and crisp evenings perfect for campfires. Winter RVing is also a real option here, Lamont RV Park stays open year-round and the Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve is breathtaking under February auroras, just rent a four-season RV. Pro tip: book your Astotin Lake site the day reservations open in January; Edmontonians scoop up the prime weekends within hours.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/elkisland/visit/heures-hoursI've never driven an RV before, will I be okay in Lamont?
You're going to do great, and Lamont is honestly one of the best places in Alberta to learn. Roads here are wide, flat, lightly trafficked, and surrounded by prairie sightlines, so there are none of the tight turns or steep grades that intimidate first-time renters in mountain towns. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, slide-outs, dump procedures, and driving tips, and 24/7 roadside assistance comes with your booking. If you're truly nervous, choose a Class B campervan or small Class C under 25 feet for your first time renting an RV. Pro tip: practice a few right turns and a slow back-up in the empty lot beside the Lamont Agriplex before heading to your campsite.
alberta.ca/rvs-and-travel-trailersWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my Lamont trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so one phone call gets help dispatched for flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, or towing. Lamont sits along Highway 15 with quick access to service centres in Fort Saskatchewan (about 25 km away) and Sherwood Park (about 45 km away). For wildlife or emergency incidents inside Elk Island National Park, Parks Canada Dispatch is reachable at 1-877-852-3100. Your host is also a message away through the RVezy app for system-specific questions like resetting the inverter or relighting the water heater pilot.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Lamont RV rental across the border into the US?
Cross-border travel from Lamont is often possible with a little planning. Many RVezy hosts allow trips into the US (the closest crossing is Coutts/Sweetgrass, about 700 km south, opening the door to Glacier National Park in Montana), but it depends on the host's insurance and written approval, so message them before booking to confirm. You'll need your passport, vehicle registration, and a host-signed travel authorization letter at the border. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because coverage doesn't extend there. Within Canada, you're free to roam, popular runs from Lamont include the Yellowhead Highway west to Jasper and Highway 16 east into Saskatchewan toward Prince Albert National Park.
cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/menu-eng.htmlHow much should I budget for fuel on a Lamont RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line item after the rental itself, but it's predictable. Alberta typically has some of Canada's lowest gas prices (often $1.30 to $1.55 CAD per litre in 2026), and you'll find stations right in Lamont at the Esso and Co-op on Highway 15. Plan for roughly 18 to 25 litres per 100 km in a Class C motorhome, 12 to 18 L/100km in a campervan, or about 15 L/100km in your tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer. A 3-day round trip to Jasper and back (about 900 km) typically runs $180 to $260 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: fill up in Fort Saskatchewan or Sherwood Park where prices often run 5 to 10 cents cheaper than rural stops along the Yellowhead.
alberta.ca/fuel-taxHow far ahead should I book a campground near Lamont?
For Astotin Lake Campground in Elk Island National Park, book as soon as the Parks Canada Reservation Service opens its summer inventory (typically mid-January for the May-to-October season), the prime July and August weekends often sell out within 24 to 48 hours. Reserve at reservation.pc.gc.ca or call 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783). For Lamont RV Park and Campground, 2 to 4 weeks ahead is usually enough except during Heritage Days or local festivals. Provincial parks like Miquelon Lake (45 minutes south) open reservations 90 days in advance through reserve.albertaparks.ca. Pro tip: if you miss the Astotin Lake window, snag a Lamont RV Park site instead, it's only a 7-minute drive to the park gate and stays open year-round.
reservation.pc.gc.ca/What are driving conditions like around Lamont?
Driving around Lamont is refreshingly easy, Highway 15 and Highway 16 (the Yellowhead) are wide, well-maintained, two-to-four-lane routes through gentle rolling prairie with virtually no hills or hairpin turns. Watch for wildlife crossings, especially deer, moose, and the occasional bison wandering off Elk Island National Park land at dawn and dusk; reduce speed in posted wildlife zones. In winter (November through March), highways can develop black ice and blowing snow, so check 511.alberta.ca for road conditions before heading out. Summer thunderstorms occasionally bring sudden hail, pull over and wait it out under a gas station canopy if you can. Pro tip: avoid the Yellowhead Highway 16 stretch through Sherwood Park during Edmonton weekday rush hour (7 to 9 am, 4 to 6 pm).
511.alberta.ca/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Lamont?
Campgrounds near Lamont range from full-service to rustic, so there's a fit for every rig. Lamont RV Park and Campground offers full hookups (30/50 amp power, water, sewer), hot showers, laundry, on-site propane sales, and a small store with RV replacement parts. Astotin Lake Campground in Elk Island National Park provides unserviced sites with potable water taps, a dump station, flush toilets, showers, firewood for sale, and a kitchen shelter. Most sites include a firepit and picnic table. Need to dump or fill water mid-trip? The Lamont RV Park dump station is open to non-guests for a small fee, and the Elk Island dump station is near the Astotin Lake entrance. Pro tip: pick up bundled firewood at the Visitor Centre, transporting outside wood into the national park is prohibited to prevent pest spread.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/elkisland/activ/camping/astotinWhat's actually inside an RVezy rental in Lamont?
You'll find a fully self-contained home on wheels. Most motorhome rentals in Lamont come with a queen or king bed plus convertible dinette/sofa beds (sleeping 4 to 8), a propane stove and oven, microwave, full-size or compact fridge/freezer, a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower, hot and cold running water, furnace, air conditioning, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many include a generator or solar setup, awning, outdoor speakers, and a backup camera; some offer TVs, and Wi-Fi if you bring a hotspot or use Starlink (cell coverage is solid around Lamont and Elk Island). Travel trailer and fifth wheel rentals come similarly equipped minus the cockpit. Pro tip: check the listing's amenities list and photos carefully, and message the host with any must-haves like a coffee maker or BBQ.
alberta.ca/rvs-and-travel-trailersWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in Lamont offer some genuinely useful add-ons that can transform your trip. Common options include bedding and linen packages ($40 to $80), kitchen kits with pots and dishes ($25 to $50), camp chairs and tables, BBQs ($25 to $50), bike racks, generators (often $20 to $40 per day), and even kayak or fishing gear rentals for Astotin Lake. Pickup is usually at the host's property (often within a 20-minute radius of Lamont), with delivery to Elk Island, Lamont RV Park, or Edmonton-area addresses available for a per-kilometre fee. Daily mileage caps typically range from 150 to 250 km, with overage at roughly $0.30 to $0.45 per km. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a linen package on shorter trips, the time saved is worth more than the cost.
travelalberta.com/listings/lamont-rv-park-and-campground-26132How do payment and the security deposit work for a Lamont RV rental?
Payment is straightforward and handled entirely through RVezy, no cash or e-transfers to the host. When you book, your card is charged for the rental total, and a refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup as a separate hold from the booking payment. The hold is released after your trip ends, assuming no damage or extra cleaning is needed. Snap clear photos of the interior and exterior at pickup and drop-off, this protects both you and the host. Pro tip: return the RV with fuel and propane topped up to the original levels and the holding tanks dumped, those are the most common reasons a deposit gets dinged.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Lamont during winter?
Yes, and winter RVing in Lamont is a hidden gem. Lamont RV Park and Campground stays open year-round with full hookups, and Elk Island National Park is spectacular under snow, think snowshoeing past frosted aspens, skating on Astotin Lake under the Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve, and aurora borealis dancing overhead on clear nights. To rent in the cold months (November to March, when overnight lows can dip to -25 C or below), filter for four-season RVs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbelly insulation, and a strong furnace, then confirm with the host. You'll plug into 30 or 50 amp shore power for unlimited heat. Pro tip: pack a heated water hose and skirt the RV with foam board for stays longer than a couple of nights to prevent freeze-ups.
