By Emily Butterfield<\/h4>\n

Been eyeing the turquoise lakes and snow-capped mountains of the Canadian Rockies? It\u2019s time to stop daydreaming and plan your visit! A campervan<\/a> road trip through Banff and Jasper National Parks offers endless beauty, a variety of outdoor adventures, and convenient camping options. You can even spot wildlife, raft the glacier-fed rivers, and relax in hot springs. And the best part? You can get to Banff in a single day’s drive from our Seattle hub location<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These parks are popular though in the summer months. As such, you\u2019ll want to be mindful of these tips to ensure you\u2019re Rocky Mountain adventure goes smoothly.<\/p>\n

Finding a camping spot in Banff and Jasper<\/h2>\n

Banff<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jasper<\/a> National Parks have a mix of reservable and first-come, first-served campgrounds. The reservable sites often fill in months in advance, but cancellations can happen a few days or weeks before your trip, so keep checking! You can also check with the campgrounds to see if they have any no-show spots available each day. There are many privately-owned RV parks, campgrounds, and hostels near the parks as well. Waterfowl Lakes Campground, along the Icefields Parkway, is a great spot to camp outside the busy Lake Louise area. There, you\u2019ll have easy access to fishing or paddling on the lakes. The Tunnel Mountain Village campgrounds in Banff are convenient and reservable but offer little privacy.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":16997,"id":16997,"title":"Moraine Lake in Banff National Park","filename":"Moraine-Lake.jpg","filesize":83031,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/fr\/moraine-lake\/","alt":"","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"moraine-lake","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2018-11-28 20:33:04","modified":"2018-11-28 20:33:04","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1000,"height":667,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":667,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":667,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":667,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1000,"post-thumbnail-height":667,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":200,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":267,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Moraine-Lake.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":400}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Visiting Moraine Lake and Lake Louise<\/h2>\n

These glacier-fed, vibrant blue lakes are gorgeous, making them VERY popular with summer visitors. There is limited parking at both lakes, so you\u2019ll want to arrive early morning or late evening for your best chance at getting a spot and avoiding peak visitor times. Access to Moraine Lake road and parking is controlled from 6 a.m.-9 p.m. in the summer months, meaning you can\u2019t access the parking lot unless there is a spot available.\u00a0Shuttle service<\/a>\u00a0is available to both lakes from the Lake Louise overflow parking lot. Looking for more adventure? Enjoy a cup of tea at the Lake Agnes or Plain of Six Glaciers tea houses above Lake Louise, via hiking trails near the lake. Canoe rentals are also available at the lakes.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":16994,"id":16994,"title":"Icefields Parkway, Jasper National Park","filename":"Icefields-Parkway.jpg","filesize":85763,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/fr\/icefields-parkway\/","alt":"","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"icefields-parkway","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2018-11-28 20:32:56","modified":"2018-11-28 20:32:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1000,"height":667,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":667,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":667,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":667,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1000,"post-thumbnail-height":667,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":200,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":267,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Icefields-Parkway.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":400}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Take a few days to drive the Icefields Parkway<\/h2>\n

This 144-mile parkway lives up to the hype of being one of the most beautiful drives in North America. Stretching south from Jasper National Park to Lake Louise, it\u2019s worth taking a few days to experience this area of Canada. Don\u2019t miss Athabasca Falls, a walk out to the toe of the Athabasca Glacier, and time to relax near one of the gorgeous glacier-fed lakes. There are numerous hiking opportunities in the area, including short walks to viewpoints. A visit to the Peyto Lake overlook is a must-see. Consider walking a short, paved path (which turns into a dirt trail) past the popular wooden balcony viewpoint to a rock outcropping with fewer crowds. Here, you\u2019ll be able to see where the Peyto Glacier feeds the lake.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":17003,"id":17003,"title":"Sunshine Meadows Gondola in Jasper National Park","filename":"Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","filesize":95709,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/fr\/sunshine-meadows-gondola\/","alt":"","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"sunshine-meadows-gondola","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2018-11-28 20:33:20","modified":"2018-11-28 20:33:20","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1000,"height":667,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":667,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":667,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":667,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1000,"post-thumbnail-height":667,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":200,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":267,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Sunshine-Meadows-GONDOLA.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":400}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Take a gondola ride for a high-alpine view<\/h2>\n

Next, if you are looking for an easy way to get a birds-eye view of the majestic Rocky Mountains, consider taking a gondola ride. The\u00a0Jasper Skytram\u00a0reaches Whistlers Mountain after a seven-minute ride and 3,300 feet of elevation gain. Enjoy the expansive 360-degree views from the upper station or take a short, steep hike to the top of Whistlers Mountain. There are also\u00a0several gondolas\u00a0in the Banff\/Lake Louise areas. Just a short drive from the town of Banff is the Banff Sightseeing Gondola. It takes you on an eight-minute ride up to 7,468 feet on Sulphur Mountain. If you\u2019re looking for a stunning day hike in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, take the\u00a0Banff Sunshine Village Gondola\u00a0and Standish quad chairlift to the Sunshine Meadows hiking trails.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":16991,"id":16991,"title":"Athabasca Falls, Jasper National Park","filename":"Athabasca-Falls.jpg","filesize":106859,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/fr\/athabasca-falls\/","alt":"","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"athabasca-falls","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2018-11-28 20:32:47","modified":"2018-11-28 20:32:47","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1000,"height":667,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":667,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":667,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":667,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1000,"post-thumbnail-height":667,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":200,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":267,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Athabasca-Falls.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":400}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Getting to Banff and Jasper<\/h2>\n

Pick up your Escape Campervan in Calgary, or make a long road trip out of it and pick up at the\u00a0Vancouver<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Seattle<\/a>\u00a0depot. There are several routes you can take, depending on which park you visit first. You can also stop to visit Kootenay and Yoho National Parks in the Rockies. But whichever route you choose, take your time to enjoy the rushing rivers, towering forests and picture-perfect vistas along the way. The jaw-dropping views will help to pass the drive time!<\/p>\n

So go ahead and book your Escape campervan rental<\/a> to visit Banff and Jasper this summer.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":17000,"id":17000,"title":"Peyto Lake and Glacier,
