Camping in Banff
We are considering taking the plunge and going big this summer. Since we're already thinking about Wyoming or Montana...what the heck. We're about 2000K miles, one way...so I really only have one ...

Hi,
Travel west in USA until you reach Glacier National Parks then turn north. On the Canadian side the park is called waterton national park. From there head to the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump (a world heritage site). Next stop at Lundbreck falls which is just off the highway. Continue west to Frank's Slide Interpretive center.
Next stop Fernie BC, then north towards Radium Hotsprings. Wonderful pool and day spa.
Next stop Lake Louise (electric sites at campground).
My choice then would be to head north to the Columbia Ice Fields and then to Jasper.
Banff is lovely but it is a "tourist trap". Make it a day trip from Lake Louise.
Don has the right idea.
I would do 300 or 400 miles each day and enjoy your trip to Canada. Stop and see some sights on the way. It's called a vacation for a reason. Let it be a vacation by seeing as much as you can while in-route.
If you want to be in a hurry; do it on the way home. ( or vise a versa )
Glacier NP should NOT BE MISSED.
Have fun planning your trip. BC is a very beautiful place.
