I've been trying to book a site at Whistlers for my trailer and truck, but every one I've found says "no tow vehicles allowed." Never mind it's okay if you have a 35 foot motorhome towing a toad--that's okay. Does anybody know a reason for this craziness?

All their pictures show trailers with tow vehicles. Maybe It is a new stupid rule.

Is this what you are looking at? Maximum Vehicles per Site:1 vehicle Exceptions for RVs towing a vehicleIf you have two camping units (2 tents or 1 RV/camper and 1 tent), no towed vehicles are allowed.It is confusing, but I think that they are only referring to anything that is powered a vehicle. So a truck & trailer is only one vehicle, hence the exception for an RV (motorhome) towing a vehicle.

If this is the one by Jasper, we stayed there last year with no reservations. We had a truck and 27 ft trailer. We were lucky to get in. It filled up. We could only get dry camping.

Per the website:Maximum Vehicles per Site: Camping: 1 vehicle. Exceptions for RVs towing a vehicle. If you have two camping units (2 tents or 1 RV/camper and 1 tent), no tow vehicles are allowed.What they are saying is that there is only 1 vehicle and one RV allowed per campsite. You can drive a truck and tow a trailer OR drive a MH and tow a car.The part about the two camping units is because folks will have one family arrive in an MH and another arrive in a car and say that the MH towed the car.

Why dont you just call them and put this to rest in a one minute tel call with the source?

You can reserve Whistlers, Wapiti, Wabasso and Pocahontas campgrounds on-line at www.reservation.parkscanada.gc.ca or by telephone at 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783).

The same phone number will work for Banff campgrounds also.

Just left there after 3 days. Toads everywhere, small trailers to 44 ft dps. Very nice park lots of space between spots. Bear and a big elk heard were present so follow the rules.

OP. So I showed up at the gate just in case and the ranger/warden/agent said yes, the Web site is totally confusing and wrong and is a "glitch." Whoever wrote that should be sent to be re-educated. Anyway, she sent me to a very nice site, secluded, surrounded by plenty of similar sites, all empty. Problem solved.

I'm not sure why this is confusing? You can have one RV and one vehicle per site as long as the vehicle is towed by or is towing the RV.

If you use a tent AND an RV, then you cannot also have a vehicle towed BY the RV.

If that were the case there would be nothing but Class Bs, Cs & tenters. No trailers. You just know that is not going to happen.

Stayed there early in season last year. Snow still on the ground & half the loops not open then.

My thoughts also.

Get the name of the person you talk to, just in case there is any confusion among staff.

Per the website:

Maximum Vehicles per Site:

Camping: 1 vehicle. Exceptions for RVs towing a vehicle. If you have two camping units (2 tents or 1 RV/camper and 1 tent), no tow vehicles are allowed.

What they are saying is that there is only 1 vehicle and one RV allowed per campsite. You can drive a truck and tow a trailer OR drive a MH and tow a car.
