I will be riding the Icefields Highway (Jasper to Banff) as part of my tour this summer. Since I am starting in Alaska, I won't know the exact arrival dates in Jasper until a few days or so out but anticipate arriving in Jasper around Thursday, August 3rd +/- a day or two.

I have not been to this area since 2001 and have heard it is really hard to get a campground in an RV/Car without a reservation. But how about bikes? I called them and they of course said to get a reservation and they do not have a "no turn away policy" or hike/biker sites.

For those that have ridden the Icefields Highway in the past few years, did you have reservations every night, just showed up and all OK, or what??
