if it was me, I would stay in Banff for a night or two instead of Lake Louise. there is a bus that you can catch from banff to take you out to lake Louise, and you can spend the day there then take the bus back. This way you can see both banff and lake Louise. if you have the time there are several cheap campgrounds that do not take reservations along the Icefields parkway between banff and jasper that you can do several hikes from.
Have reservations at Lake Louise hard side. We will do a day trip into the "big city" of Banff. City sites do not turn us on. We like boon-docking.
Where did you get the idea it's a city site. Tunnel mountain is 10 min out of the town, just stay in Tunnel Mountain village 1 and it is like being in the forest. Village 2 isn't bad either depending which side you're on.
If you mean boon docking as in pulling over anywhere and not paying that's not going to happen in the park. that's a good way to get a fine and moved along as it is illegal to camp anywhere except in a approved campground, now if you mean now power, ya vilage 1 has no power areas which I usually stay in as it doesn't matter much to me weather, I have power or not unless it's in the winter
