In a Pickle in Canada

We are currently in Banff heading next to Jasper on Saturday, on our way to Alaska. We were unaware that this weekend is Canada Day, and have been told it would be a miracle for us to find a place to stay in Jasper Saturday and Sunday nights. There are five rigs traveling together. Any suggestions where one might stay? Walmarts are ok as well. Thanks.

I feel for you. I will be entering the US around the 2nd or 3rd next week and no reservations anywhere. This will probably be a boondocking 4th of july.

Try the Hinton KOA just east of Jasper? Stay in the Columbia Icefields parking lot? Last time we were there one could park overnite. Try the first come first served campgrounds along the Icefields parkway? Wilcox near the ice fields (tight for big rigs I think)? There used to be (still?) gravel overflow parking areas where campers could overnite near Banff. Check with national park staff.

Go into Calgary or Red Deer for the weekend? Often, the cities head west to the mountains leaving a ghost town behind.
