HELP!!!!

Good morning. We need help. We are travelling to BC via the trans Canada highway are are not having any luck finding a place to stay for June 24th.
We’ve tried The Banff parks and they are all booked. We don’t care if we have to pay, but we’d really like to stay the one night somewhere near or past Lake Louise.
HELP!!!!
  • If you don't need hookups, the National Park campgrounds (at least some of them) generally have overflow camping available; you self-register and plonk yourself down in a big field or gravel lot somewhere. There may or may not be porta-loos scattered about. I think there is overflow camping at Lake Louise--but I'm not sure--and there definitely should be at Jasper and at Banff.
  • I recall several such overflow areas along the road between those two parks. Call the park rangers for more actionable information.
  • Revestoke is not to far west. Beautiful little village
