In Jasper, we like Whistler CG. Nice long pull-thru sites, FHU, trees, shade, and some privacy. Only a couple of mosquitos. In Banff do not stay at Tunnel Mtn. as it is only a "park on side of road" style CG. Bumper to bumper, filthy sites, beat-up tables. On the way, you might try Radium Hot Springs, as the pool is really nice. Clean, great locker-rooms, and not crowded in the a.m. Several RV parks in town, plus a provincial CG.
This needs correcting. Tunnel Mountain has several campsites. Most are not park on the side of the road sites, but treed sites with fire pits and picnic tables.
The treed sites are not those with full hook-ups, but are quite nice and would be great for someone with a truck camper.
We have stayed in both at different times and enjoyed both types of sites.
I think if you stay for 6 days in National Parks it is more reasonable to buy an annual pass. There are lots of camp sites in the various national parks in the Rockies.
