most of them. road siade pull outs, truck stops, even walmart parking lots. althought some walmarts put up signs saying you can't but most I have seen you still can. costco parking lots are a good option also. when I go to alberta a lot I leave after supper and stop for the night in hinton in a parking lot all the time. there are also a lot of free campsites around that are not to far off the road. problem is just figuring out what is out there that matches your plans.
