I agree with the "just wing it" folks. With that much time and a tent and van you will fit almost anywhere, which makes it much easier in the National Parks and state parks. Also, reservations sure put a damper on spontaneous change of plans when you decide to stay longer or shorter based on things that you hadn't anticipated.

Something you may find useful at West Glacier. Alberta has a really good visitors center. They found and booked all our campsites in Banff and Jasper for us this year. They were able to get us in at Lake Louise and Whistler in Jasper with only 2 weeks lead time...remarkable. We chose not to go further east into Alberta (been there before) and got good tips from them on BC also.
Thanks rocky, I'll look into that.
Thanks Chloe. From what I understand I can get full refund on reservations if cancelled within 48 hours, but will have to look into that more. I do like the freedom of staying and going as I please as well. Though with all I want to see...it'll be hard to stay anywhere for too long.
