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!
Thanks for the great Snaring tip. Been looking for a spot at about that point. About the last week in May 2017 we will be going from Golden BC up over to Lake Louise then up through Jasper then over to Hinton to take the 40 through Grande Cache and on to Grande Prairie. Question: That early in the season should we expect the possibility of to much snow on the ground or bad icy road conditions on any part of the described route? --- Our first RV trip to Alaska for 3 months.
