Well, based on responses here and from time on the Canada park site, we have made reservations for Waterton Lakes and Jasper. In Jasper, there were no electrical sites available for a 38ft MH as of a week ago. So we have a dry spot, don't think it is in overflow but how do you know?
Still need to figure out what to do in Calgary for a couple of nights, Baniff and Lake Louise for a few nights each. Baniff and Lake Louise are still showing a lot of sites open. Since we are pretty well locked into our timetable by the resrv we already have, we may go ahead and get some for the other few nights on way up to Jasper. Once, we leave Jasper and head towards Vancouver by some scenic road, we plan on just finding what is available for one or two night stays. Will this work after July 4th weekend or will these areas going across and down to Vancouver be crowded too? We will get a provincial park guide when we get there.
July 1st is Canada Day and a big holiday all across Canada.
There are a great many campgrounds along the Trans Canada Highway from Banff to Vancouver. But trains travel along the route too.
If you travel through the Okanogan you will be in beautiful country. Lots of orchards, wineries and lakes to enjoy.
We travel this route every couple years and do not bother with reservations, but generally stop at Provincial Parks (no hook-ups) and stop early in the day.
Closer to Vancouver you may need reservations, we just head for the ferry and go home.
