Despite its reputation as a quiet antidote to Banff, Jasper's townsite still gets busy in the summer. Book ahead or consider visiting in the less crowded late winter/early spring shoulder season when the deserted mountainscapes (best accessed on cross-country skis) take on a whole new dimension.
Accommodations in Jasper are generally cheaper than Banff, but that's not really saying much. Jasper's 10 park campgrounds are open from mid-May to September/October. One (Wapiti) is partly open year-round. Four of them take reservations. For information, contact Parks Canada at the Jasper Information Centre.
Several places outside the town proper offer bungalows (usually wooden cabins) that are only open in summer. There are considerable winter discounts.
