The units run from a micro studio to a six-bedroom suite for sixteen, each with a full kitchen, premium linen and outdoor seating (the one and two bedrooms along the main walkway, the larger units on semi-private upstairs patios), and the signature round windows frame Ha Ling Peak from the bedrooms. The rooftop tub is open from nine to ten daily with change rooms and towels; shared barbecues run year-round with grill tools in the unit; and a shuttle to Everwild, Basecamp's Nordic spa in Canmore, is complimentary on request. I photographed and filmed the property and built its 360 tour, including the round window and the rooftop that ended up in the marketing film. ## From, per person What the suites are, what a stay includes and the terms you agree to, from the property page and the group terms. No rate card exists: the price is set by date in the booking engine, so the price band on this page is an estimate and the live number is one click away.

Ask for a mountain-facing unit when you book; the courtyard-facing bedrooms look at the walkway. **How far is Main Street?** About 15 minutes on foot along Bow Valley Trail, or five by car. Basecamp Lodge Canmore is next door, so a party split between suites and hotel rooms can be on the same block. **What does a night cost?** Basecamp does not print a rate card; the price for each room or suite is set by the date and the length of stay in the booking engine on the property page, with a choice of a flexible rate (cancel free until 72 hours before arrival) and a lower non-refundable prepaid rate. Suites with kitchens are priced for the whole unit, not per person, so a family or two couples in a two-bedroom pays one rate. **Can I bring my dog?** At the properties with pet-friendly units, yes, up to two pets, and you must say so when you book so a pet-friendly unit is allocated; a pet found in a non-pet unit is charged $100 a night. Pets stay off the furniture and bedding, out of the spa, on a lead on the property, and any extra cleaning is billed. **Is there parking?** Basecamp aims to provide one complimentary space per reservation at every property, displayed with a parking pass; it is not guaranteed, and a second vehicle is not promised a space. ## Stories - Base camp: five beds in Canmore and Revelstoke, the night before the mountains: https://wildernessledger.com/guides/base-camp-canmore-revelstoke (plain text: https://wildernessledger.com/guides/base-camp-canmore-revelstoke.md) - Canmore, the day before the mountains: what to do with the buffer day: https://wildernessledger.com/guides/canmore-before-the-mountains (plain text: https://wildernessledger.com/guides/canmore-before-the-mountains.md) ## Sources - Basecamp Resorts Canmore, property page (rooms, amenities, contact): https://www.basecampresorts.com/canmoreresorts/ (read 15 September 2026) - Basecamp Resorts, terms and conditions: https://www.basecampresorts.com/terms-conditions/ (read 15 September 2026) Canonical page: https://wildernessledger.com/experience/basecamp-resorts-canmore Written by Ben Taft, Photographer and filmmaker, The Wilderness Ledger (https://wildernessledger.com/about).
