Tunnel mountain (Banff) and Wapiti (Jasper) have powered sites open year round. In fact we just camped at Tunnel mountain last weekend. Tunnel mountain isn't a great campsite (more like a parking lot) but it's very close to Banff and you can take the bus into town and see the sights.

Weather can be very unpredictable so I think I'd like to have powered sties so that you can depend on heat at least.
