In-Depth Information
If you're camping, grab a campsite as early in the day as possible. If you're staying in an
accommodation, you'll find them all within Waterton town site and within walking dis-
tance of everywhere. Upon arrival in town, if it's too early to check in, spend some time
exploring the downtown core and lakefront on foot.
Waterton has a limited number of accommodations. Most start opening in May and by mid-
October are closed, with only the hostel, Crandell Mountain Lodge, and Waterton Glacier
Suites open year-round. All accommodations are within the town site, so walking to the
marina and shops isn't a problem.
Finding a room on short notice shouldn't be too difficult in May, June, and September,
but for July and August call as early as possible.
