Did they allow you to put the tent on grass? I was going to do hot tent camping in Tunnel Mountain Camp ground last winter, but they said I can't pitch hot tent on grass. If they allow, I really want to try it in Banff. Thanks for your video!
There was snow on the ground, but yes, we put it on grass such as it was, and there were a couple of other tent campers that were on the grass too. In terms of using the woodstove, we asked for permission rather than forgiveness. We would've needed a fire permit but couldn't have one because our site didn't have its own firepit, and you can only have fires in designated puts. However, they did say use woodstove at own risk, in that a Park Warden/Ranger might come around checking and we could get ticketed if they felt the need. We'll likely use crown land next time or somewhere that doesn't enforce certain rules quite so much!
