Camping in Jasper with small Motorhome

Whistlers and wapiti are the bigger campgrounds in Jasper, if you show up mid week with out booking a site you will get a spot, you would have to show up early.
Last year we were at Wapiti for 5 days in July and there were tons of empty sites.

There are a lot of travellers with rental units that only stay 1 nite and move on.
I wouldn't worry about it one bit.

if you don't need service,then what's the worry?if anyone asks,you were too tired to carry on.i've done it all over b.c. mostly in pull outs.can you use the day use areas for the day?national parks in july without a reservation is a daunting prospect.good luck.

Whistler's or Wapati are the places to stay.

We camped in the Walmart/Safeway parking lot in Hinton for a night on our way to Jasper. The shopping center allows, even encourages, camping and a number of others besides us took advantage of it. It is then only a short drive on the Yellowhead Highway (CA 16) to the northeast entrance to Jasper National Park. The following night you might try the gravel parking lot at Athabaska Glacier, but it may be too open and conspicuous to get through an entire night. The Wapati and Wabasso campgrounds in Jasper NP are primarily for overflow from Whistler's campground, which is the one with hookups that we stayed at. We got on-line for reservations at Whistler's only a week before we got there and found a space. But that was in mid-August, not mid-July.

Good luck on finding a place!

Are you interested in Jasper only, or the Icefields Parkway in general? I've pulled into the Jasper/Banff park campgrounds and found spots even late in the day, sometimes in overflow, though. Failing that, I have parked in pullouts, but I was sleeping in my SUV. But I did see a number of motorhomes doing the same thing here and there. I'm usually on the road by 6 a.m. and was surprised at how many people do it, still there as I went by in the early morn.

The Parks Canada site lists four campgrounds that will accept reservations but they are likely booked into September by now. The other roadside sites are first come first serve so be prepared to stop mid afternoon. Overflow sites with no services, often an open gravel area, are opened once the the established ones are full. Camping is only allowed in designated areas so no pulling off the road and 'boondocking'.

There is a provincial camp ground on the south entrance of Jasper, I would suggest calling ahead, my experience things book up fast without warning. Beautiful area, enjoy
