I see that none of the official Banff parking lots are more than 12-hours, and there is an overnight parking ban on the downtown streets, so is there anywhere that you can park overnight? Are the residential area's fair game?

Overnight parking in Banff?

Looks like some residential will work if you can find it.Restrictions are enforced, so please check the signs when you park. In residential areas, vehicles must be moved within 72 hours.

Are you not staying at a hotel/motel?

Canmore. Might have to leave the car in Banff, depending on how much I drink at dinner.Originally posted by shakalaka

Find the tightest underground hotel parking lot you can squeeze into. Odds are a tow truck cant fit down their to pull you out haha. A lot of them dont require a card to enter.

I wonder if motels and stuff with open parking lots check at night. Might be fine if you're tucked way back into some corner or something. I am trying to remember from last Canada day weekend when we stayed at one of the hotels there, don't think they even asked for our vehicle license plate or anything.

Probably a stupid question but could you just stay in Banff instead? The Banff Park Lodge has nice heated underground parking, and you don't have to buy a Park Pass (though 2017 doesn't matter) if you have underground parking.

Nowhere in Banff had accommodations big enough for the number of people going.Originally posted by Mitsu3000gt

I've been staying in Banff for the past 3 weeks. Hotels have been costing me on average between $79 and $112 a night. Decently clean rooms and free parking.
Monday night I stayed at Brewsters for $125. Ironically my Van didn't fit in their underground. I just parked in a lane parking lot overnight. Even though the spots are for the establishments...I got no tickets and no tow.
I saw one motorhome park overnight in front of Subway on Caribou st, and he got a parking ticket.

Why wouldn't you just go for dinner in Canmore then?

I spent a night in my car outside of the hotsprings in the parking lot. No issues there...

other than banff ave, one side of beaver st. bear and lynx street downtown marten st. area is all free parking up to 72 hours. Parking lots are a gamble depending on when and where bylaw starts their shift at 6 or 8am. Get a ticket yes, tow most likely no.
easiest way to get back to Canmore = Get someone else to DD.
