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!
