Ok I’m trying to get a hold of parks canada. Trying to find out prices for camping.
Parks Alberta says winter camping is up to $300.

Camping on crown land/national park

Where are you looking to camp? In Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, or a provincial park? If you're on crown land you can always bush camp, or dispersed camp as some call it.
Jasper winter camping:

Banff campgrounds with open dates:

Alberta Provincial Parks open year round:

Near as I can tell, it’s regular prices. Nothing near $300 unless you’re staying 10days.

$8.80 for a fire permit in WINTER?! That's asinine.
The campgrounds around here you never need a fire permit at any time of the year. Now obviously there's fire bans when the fire risk gets too high, but other than that you can have a fire whenever for free.
We're very fortunate in BC in a lot of ways, I'm seeing.
Yeah, camping on crown land is always free. I prefer bush camping whenever possible because of the adventure factor :D

Ok I found many government sites. But the most helpful is the Public Use Land Zone (PULZ)
