There's two of us travelling together ... and we like having the space, if we can get it. We don't want to be squished in right next to someone else. This is one of the reasons why we will even pay extra to get a larger powered site.
Anyway, if you have a look through Banff National Park's list of designated campgrounds, you'll see that several of them say this:
"There are designated loops with food lockers for walk-in campers."
Those are usually "hiker/biker" sites.
And the fees aren't bad, ranging from $15.70 to $27.40.
