IF you can dry camp, the Lake Louise overflow lot is an option for you, but it did fill up the night we used it a few nights ago. We arrived early in the day, parked and drove around in our tow car. Lake Louise is inundated with visitors these days...
Here's an overflow camping spot north of Jasper that might work for you:
Snaring Campground Overflow
Dry camping
$15.70 CAD
Vault toilet/trash bins/iron ranger
Large rock area that can hold a couple hundred rigs of all sizes-may have to wiggle to avoid a bush or two. Easy to level, shade available. Fabulous mountain views, near Snaring River. We also saw tents pitched here. Off of Hwy 16 about 11 miles north of town of Jasper on west side. Good signs-easy off and on, good side roads. Go for a drive and look for wildlife--we spotted black bear, elk, bighorn sheep, bald eagle and golden eagle all in one evening!
No reservations needed! Good luck!
