Just my 2cents worth, we made this trip through Jasper, Ice fields, & stopped at a couple of the Hot Springs. Loved the scenery, but were disappointed in the lack of camp grounds in Alberta. It just seemed to us that once you got into the Provincial Parts, you weren't allowed to just "pull off" & rough camp it. Did not seem to be many side roads. (This was in Oct. so most of the camps were closed, as I remember). We ended up having to drive straight thru to the large camp ground near Jasper.
We do spend quite a bit of time camping in British Columbia, where there is a whole lot more spaces to remote camp. (Don't want to offend anyone here in Alberta, as I have only driven on this particular hwy. I am very sure that you guys have just as much remote camping as BC. I believe that this is the park's way of keeping people from just camping in the park where ever they wish!
Being in Alberta I cannot argue with your comments on the remote camping.
Better this time of year for campgrounds on the Ice Field Parkway, but once out of season (after September 15th) they roll up the welcome mat for campers!
