Banff/Jasper RV parks/Campgrounds
We're heading for the Banff & Jasper Parks in Alberta and would appreciate info on RV camp grounds. We don't dry camp anymore and prefer at least partial hookups. Any input on your experiences would be a big help.

- Some advice this time of year: Get your campsites EARLY. Don't wait until the afternoon because, by then, it'll be too late. This happened on our first time up there and we ended up in a hard-packed "overflow" campground. And if you think you'll get away with a free night of camping there, guess again. Parks Canada will be there knocking on your door at 7:00 am to collect their due.
- Whistlers (full), and Wapiti (partial) in Jasper National Park have the type of hookups you're looking for. They also tend to be somewhat (I stress this) less busy than the Banff area Campgrounds.
- Tunnel Mountain if you can get in. Fount this on travel site: Tunnel Mountain rises above the stylish town of Banff. On it are three campgrounds, one for tents, one with partial hookups and the Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court Campground with full hookups including sewer for RV's. Big pulloffs from central roads in the forest with room for big rigs and towed vehicles that don't need to be unhitched. Rate is $38.20 per night and should be reserved ahead at Parks Canada Campground Reservation System during the busy summer season. There is a $10.80 non refundable reservation fee. Bus system available at entrance that will take you all over town of Banff. Beautiful area.
- If for this summer or later ?
