Yes you can , opposite the main park entrance is wood bison trail a 16 km hike , very nice, the bison loop after passing the gates on the left hand side is usually quite good for viewing banff, astotin lake is a dark sky preservatory, along with the bison loop is a good placeto view northern lights if active, astotoin lake , has a few hikes at it as well a camping area, playground for kids, a boardwalk short hike, just be careful, as motorcycles like to zoom through the parking lot as the park doesnt seem to enforce its speed limits, and on weekends amd sunny days lots of families there . But definately a very rewarding drive, keep your eyes peeled
Hi is camping area o bbq area over there and also can I fishing over there

There is a camping area that you have to make reservations for. And there is a open bbq area near a lake too. I'm 99% sure you are not allowed to fish here.
