HiTenOC,
It would not be unusual to have snow on the ground towards the end of the trip.
There is not much in the way of boondocking in the National Parks in Canada. There is an overflow camping site for Lake Louise.
If you are approaching bamff from the East there is a Casino on the south side of the road before the Park that allows overnight parking for free.
Large vehicles are no longer permitted to go up the mountain to access Lake Louise but there is a bus that comes to the campground.
They sometimes have "high tea" at the Lodge (hotel).
There are some walking trails at Lake Louise.
Overnight parking is permitted at the Columbia Ice Fields parking lot. They do have tourist bus/tracked vehicles for travelling out to the fast receding ice fields.
Take along a bathing suit and visit one of the hot springs. My favourite is https://hotsprings.ca/miette/
It is east of Jasper on the way to Edmonton and there is a campground nearby.
What is your routing?
There is boondocking and free dump site at Cranbrook but that may not be on your path.
I love the pool at Radium Hot springs.

if it was me, I would stay in Banff for a night or two instead of Lake Louise. there is a bus that you can catch from banff to take you out to lake Louise, and you can spend the day there then take the bus back. This way you can see both banff and lake Louise. if you have the time there are several cheap campgrounds that do not take reservations along the Icefields parkway between banff and jasper that you can do several hikes from.
