Best time to come up here is September. All the tourists and bus tours are gone. Plus it easy to find a campground. The Whistlers campground in Jasper is the best. Followed by Banff's Tunnel Mountain and Lake Louise. Tunnel is nice, not as private as Whistlers or Lake Louise. Lake Louise is more shaded than Tunnel but the trains rolling through at night are loud, unless you like trains. But do check with Parks Canada because some of the best places to camp (ie: Mosquito Creek) could be closed after Labour Day weekend which is a shame. Enjoy your trip and we will see you out there. Cheers!
