Thanks for all the great responses. Just Feb and we are already antsy about leaving. I think we will take our chances. Yes, I know this is not the advised path, but we really don't want to be tied to dates. If we have to stay outside the park until a reservation opens up, so be it. Have some people to see before we get out of the states, so dates are really hard to pin down. Thanks again!
HAHA sounds like what I went through last year before my grand adventure. Start packing your RV now... I started a month before I left and was still adding and removing things up until the day I left, as I'm terrible at organization.
I'm not schooled on what is/isn't allowed in Canadian National Parks, but I will say, driving around the dirt roads / trails that lead off 93, I saw plenty of sites that are obviously being used as boon docking campsites. Actually right off the main highway maybe 20-30 miles North of Lake Louise there's a huge dirt parking lot that once served a now abandoned campground. You can't get into the campground itself, that's thoroughly barricaded, but the parking lot had people camping in it when I drove past mid June.
