Not sure why you are doing a hotel for the Stampede. Stay in Cochrane (just west of Calgary) and you can drive to the end of the Light Rail (C-train) which takes you right to the Stampede. 2 campgrounds in Cochrane (both good) and I'm pretty sure you can get a spot now. Call them...don't rely on their websites which always show them full.
The only reason we'd get a hotel room is so that we can have some alcoholic beverages and then just walk back to our hotel rather than having to figure out a safe ride back to the campsite after a long day at the stampede.
Lots of great information coming in, I really appreciate it. Sounds like there really are a lot of options so I will need to make some decisions soon.
I hope by "camping in your pickup" that doesn't mean you have a camper on the back. You will be hard pressed to find parking downtown during Stampede if that's the case.
If you're tenting it or sleeping in the box of the truck then you'll be fine.
