HI Mosquito Creek - Wilderness Hostel

The host, Ralph, and the manager are welcoming and knowledgeable. Guests praise the cleanliness and well-equipped kitchen facilities. The location near a beautiful creek and close to Jasper National Park is highly appreciated.

My son and I really enjoyed our night at the mosquito Creek wilderness hostel. It is obviously a hostel and has no running water but nevertheless, whilst excepting all limitations was a fun and charming state. For me the biggest asset the hostel has is its location and the communal area with a wood fired stove together with the woodfired sauna. it gives a great opportunity to meet fellow travellers and to share stories that one simply does not get in a hotel . The hostel itself is very clean , although being a hostel except that everything is fairly rustic. There is a separate toilet block which is remote from the dormitories so a very short walk is required to go to the toilet. The toilets are essentially a drop pit so they are what they are, but they are clean and relatively new. It is what it is. You’re not going to die. The communal area is fantastic and there is an outdoor Boma where you can light a fire and share stories with fellow travellers whilst looking up at the sky (if you are lucky). The scenery is fairly stunning and is it any time you get stressed about not having luxuries I suggest you have a word with yourself, get real and remind yourself you are sleeping in the middle of nature is grandeur. It does not get any better than this.
