The Parks are very busy this year given the exchange rate.
That's one of the reasons why we are going there at the end of August and why we went to BC last year. We camped in both Banff & Jasper a loooong time ago in a tent. This year we are staying at Patricia Lake Bungalows in Jasper and in a condo in Canmore (just outside Banff). My hunch is I just might miss the tent as we shared the campground with a small herd of female elk and their babies (was the first week of September) during our previous visit. Of course, we woke up to snow-yup snow, just after Labor Day-so NOT being in a tent might be a good thing.
Don't want to derail the thread, but if you want to camp, Parks Canada has some equipped camping options available.
