Since this is the RV Parks, Campgrounds and Attractions forum I assume you are asking about campgrounds. In Banff I would recommend Tunnel Mountain and in Jasper I would go with Whistlers CG. .
You might get better responses in the "RVing in Canada and Alaska" forum.
Except WA is in the US. Actually, I'm just using the "attractions" part for now. No camper.
On the Canadian routing are you looking to fly between Calgary and Vancouver because you would you rather not drive between Banff/Jasper and Vancouver ?
Would love to but the extra fee for picking up a rental in Calgary and returning in Vancouver is cost-prohibitive.
The "Bang for Buck" is going to be pretty hard to beat this summer travelling in Canada with the Cdn dollar likely around .75 cents to the U.S. dollar. So that's a 25% bonus for every dollar spent while travelling in Canada.
Except that I've discovered much of that is lost in the more expensive flights to Canada vs. the US and that much of your "stuff" is priced accordingly so it balances out. If the exchange rate stays favorable, it definitely makes visiting Canada much more attractive.
I added a monkey wrench last night. Mt. Ranier National Park looks quite interesting as well. Wondering if just a WA state trip and maybe a few days in Vancouver is in order. AAARRGGHHH! :) Keep the suggestions and thoughts coming. Knowing me, though, after all this I'll wind up somewhere else entirely!
