Good morning. We need help. We are travelling to BC via the trans Canada highway are are not having any luck finding a place to stay for June 24th. We’ve tried The Banff parks and they are all booked...
If you don't need hookups, the National Park campgrounds (at least some of them) generally have overflow camping available; you self-register and plonk yourself down in a big field or gravel lot somewhere. There may or may not be porta-loos scattered about. I think there is overflow camping at Lake Louise--but I'm not sure--and there definitely should be at Jasper and at Banff.
