Like P Kennedy, we have stayed at the Bighorn dam many times. Spent 3 weeks there last summer with our family who live in Edmonton. Hwy 22 is a nice drive, good hwy and you're in the foothills. We stayed in Drumheller last summer for a couple of weeks . We understand that after we left, the big dinosaur in town blew down in a big storm but unconfirmed. We usually start off in the Waterton Park area and then make our way up to either the Big Horn dam area or in Saunders east of Nordegg. There is a small campground in Nordegg. Like P Kennedy we aren't interest in Banff(townsite) what so ever. Too many people for our liking. Waterton Park is much better IMHO. You can go up 93 right to Jasper and around to Edmonton from the Big Horn Dam via hwy 11. Oh by the way there aren't any hook ups of any kind at the Big Horn Dam. If people keep screwing the place up like some did last summer, Alberta Hydro will start charging people to stay there. Do your research on where you want to stay and you'll be fine. Just not a lot of time to do it in. When we were younger we used to drive out there in 3 long days of driving with 3 young kids. I had a month off when we did it so we could spend as much time there as we could. Good luck.
