One of the three Prairie Provinces of Canada, Alberta is located in the country’s western portion. It is surrounded by the Great Plains to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west, owing to which the province has been blessed with some of the most stunning landscapes on the continent. Moreover, it also presents ample adventure opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. From the unforgettable sights of Banff and Jasper National Parks to the awe-inspiring hoodoos of Drumheller Valley, one can never have enough of Alberta. We recommend that you should go glamping in the province at least once in your lifetime to experience all its glory. Keep reading for our list of the top glamping spots in Alberta, Canada, for great stays.
