Many of the NP's and smaller PP's campgrounds will be closing after labour day so you will need to be quite selective.
Regarding the BUGS try, 'OFF! Deep Woods' repellant and 'AfterBite' to stop the itching both are available at larger stores/pharmacies.
Talking about stores, Safeway still offer discount on gas when you spend a certain amount in store. they seem to want to keep this to themselves so it does not appear on their website, but can save up to $0.15 per litre if you buy a lot of groceries.
Have a good trip
Trevor
