We were at Waterton in late June and early July. We stayed at the Waterton Springs Campground, a couple of miles north of the park gate. Made reservations there on the 1st of May. It can get very, very windy there(in the park also), so you probably don't want to put your awning down. Take the boat ride that brings you into Montana. You can also go up to Red Rock Canyon or to Cameron Lake, which in my opinion is better than Lake Louise. Cameron Lake wasn't open due to road construction and tree removal at the lake. Also took a ride to the icefields when we were boondocking west of Nordegg(population, at the time, 60). It's very busy there. The icefield has receded quite a bit since I was a kid. It was just off the highway then and now you get on a bus to get up to it. We don't like Banff because of the crowds but Jasper is ok. My 3 cents. Have fun.
