Thanks Paulj, those sites were very helpful! Anybody else get their 28Ft.+ trailer into Wilcox Creek?? (site recomends under 27ft).
Natl. Info. Services did verify that both Banff & Jasper charge a daily service fee of $8.30/person/day. The Natl. Discovery Pass cost $57.90/senior and is good for one year to all Natl. parks and waives those daily entry fees.

I drove through Wilcox creek last year to see if I could get my 5vr in there. It would be tight, more problem with trees close to the road.
Best bet is to unhitch at the Icefields center a couple of KM from Wilcox and drive through to see if you can make it. If not you can camp at the icefields center campground. It is a big parking lot and they charge for you to stay but at least a big rig can get in there.

As to the fees you will pay $ 19.60 per day for a family group in one vehicle. If you are staying more than 7 days the yearly pass is a better deal. $ 136.40. Both passes give you access to any national park in Canada. Camping fees range from $ 10.80 to $ 38.20 per day.

Here's the link to park fees in Jasper. I'm pretty sure they are the same in Banff. Jasper Fees

Even with the high fees the trip is worth every penny. We go at least four times a year. Some year we are going to go and take at least two weeks to do the Icefields parkway and go on as many hikes as we can.
Have a good trip.
Cheers
