Banff national park is a very large park so more information from you would help. If you want to spend your time in Banff townsite, a very busy place in the summer, then Tunnel mtn is a good choice. If you want to spend your time in and around Banff but don't need full services then Johnstone canyon or Two Jacks is a good choice. If you don't care about Banff townsite but want to see Lake Louise, take a day trip up to Columbia icefields or to Morraine lake, or want to take a day trip to Yoho national park then Lake Louise is a good choice. If you want a quiet but totally unserviced campsite part way up from Lake Louise towards Jasper then one of the smaller campsites up the Parkway like Waterfowl lake or Wilcox creek is a better choice. Check out the Canadian National Parks website for more specific information about the many campsites in the park. There are choices outside the park but they are not the best unless you wish to spend time at the Calgary stampede or in the Kananaskis area East of the park.
