Sweet Grass Mt to Banff

I'm about 3 hours from the boarder, wanted to get as far as I could N on RT towards Calgary.

I don't see any rest stops or RV parks.

My Reservation at Banff is tomorrow at 2

Suggestions to stop over nite?????

Worst case is there a spot on the US side to park for the nite
  • My trip is not until July, but I have reservations at a nice city park in Claresholm, Alberta. Maybe you wanted to get further along the way, but this one fits our plans just fine.

    There is an RV park at Lethbridge, and at Champion (Virginia Mitchell Memorial Park)

    We will be crossing at Sweet Grass and spending our first night in Canada at Clareshom. Claresholm park

    Send me a PM if I can help. I have good route information for late Summer and can look up campgrounds if that will help.
  • Dry camp or with hookups? Lots of places to dry camp in rest areas, FJ's, and weigh station's parking. How far up do you want to get? The closer to Calgary, the harder to find a dry camp spot.
  • We stayed at Virgina Michell Memorial park on our way south in '15' nice park they keep spaces open for overnite travelers manager said they get the same people year after year.
  • Thanks

    for one nite we found a Walmart in Lethbridge

    Early AM Banff
