In my recent experience, Jasper/Lake Louise was quite busy in September, and I expect that right after Labor Day will still be busy. I would try to be sure you have reservations.
We could not get a Res in Jasper when we wanted, but quite enjoyed Mt Robson Provincial Park, a huge CG just outside Jasper to the west. Spacious sites and hookups available.
I agree that Hwy 5 is pretty boring, but sometimes you go where you need to. At least you are taking the Icefields back down south. We had planned to stop at Wilcox Creek, halfway down Icefields Parkway, but there was a couple of feet of snow on everything there, in September! (Wilcox Creek is not suitable for a 45 footer!)
