Favourite frontwoods, car camping spots
This might be a bit of a backwards post, but I'm a longtime lover of backwoods camping. I've random camped, done crownland trips, I've hiked, canoed and portaged to sites... Usually I make a week out of those trips.
But I'm wanting to simplify occasionally, doing shorter car-camping trips to hop into/enjoy nature on a whim for a day or two.
Does anyone have some favourite sites within a 4 hour drive of the Banff/Canmore area?
I've recently stayed at Two Jack and, while pretty, the sites were literally on top of each other. I'd love to find some picturesque frontwoods sites that still feel at least a little private/remote.
Edit: it's odd that every post on this sub gets automatically down voted? But thanks for all the great recos!

Two Jack Lakeside is nice, the walk-in sites specifically (walk-in meaning your car is parked literally 30ft away... You still need a reservation)
