The wife and are in a tent, so walk in sites are viable option for us, and in the past we've managed to snag a site leaving the city after work on Friday. But looking at reserve.albertaparks.ca kinda has me freaked out that our provinces campgrounds are turning into Chinook Centre on a Saturday busy.
In the elbow valley (highway 66) the walk in sites at the campgrounds are available until about 3 or 4 on Friday. So leaving at noon should get you something. The other option is Banff. Their minor campgrounds always have room. If you already have a park pass the cost is simiar to the provincial parks.
