From West Glacier to Banff is only about seven hours driving time if you go through Whitefish and cross into Canada at Roosville, then continue north on 93/95 towards Radium. Depending on your needs, (hookups?) there is a nice private campsite across the highway from Ft. Steele. You can walk to Ft. Steele in 10 minutes from there. There is a restaurant in Ft. Steele, others are a 20 minute drive into Cranbrook. There is also a private campsite at Fairmont Hotsprings which gives you the option of a swim and restaurants nearbye. Either stop divides the drive nearly in half. Premier Lake Provincial Park is about 20 minutes off the main highway on a paved road except for the last few miles. Reservations can be made there. Whiteswan Provincial Park is also 20 to 30 minutes off the highway,(no reservations) but the road is gravel, and will have large logging trucks from Mon. to Fri. for sure and maybe also on weekends. There is also a National Park campsite at Radium. However, this being free entry into all National Parks this year, this may be very busy.
