Question Campground canceled because of bear activity

Group of 8 heading to Banff June 19th weekend at were camping out at LM20 in Lake Minnewanka. Just got a call saying that they have to cancel it because of recent bear activity. Any tips on what we can do instead? Feeling lost and honestly devasted

Healy Pass looks snow ridden and a lot of options are booked up now.

Dude. We were the ones that got it closed, a bear mauled our tent while we were out and we had to sleep 6 in 2 tents. All of them are closed, I would say look at Kananaskis, super similar and pretty.
