Good luck with your new camper. We are planning a trip to Lake Louise area late this spring. Can you give us any comments on a good campground in your neck of the woods. We are in the Adirondack Mtns in NY.

If you like mountain biking Fernie is a great place. We also love to go to Fort Steele campground (the one with the esso fuel station) I really do not like the Kimberley Campground at all. Sparwood campground is great too.
