About Wilderness Equipment Rentals
Wilderness Equipment Rentals is a Canmore-based outfitter focused on providing high-quality camping, trekking, and paddling gear for visitors exploring the Canadian Rockies. Located on Bow Meadows Crescent, the shop caters to travellers who want to experience the backcountry without investing in a full gear closet — covering everything from frontcountry car camping setups to multi-day backpacking kits for remote alpine routes.
Their rental inventory includes complete camping packages with tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, camp stoves, cookware, and lighting, available as bundles or individual items. Stand-up paddleboards are offered for lake sessions, while trekking poles, bear spray, and other backcountry essentials round out the gear list. Group and long-term rental discounts make the service practical for families, international visitors, and extended road trips through the Rockies.
What distinguishes Wilderness Equipment Rentals is their specialisation in backcountry-grade gear rather than resort-oriented recreational equipment. The team helps customers plan their trips with advice on campsite reservations, trail conditions, and bear safety — going well beyond a simple rental transaction. For visitors flying into Calgary and driving to the mountains, the ability to rent everything they need in Canmore eliminates the hassle of travelling with bulky camping gear.
