I agree with most of the posts. Highway 40 is good road and offers lots of xcenery and wildlife opportunities.
Als, Joe b. is correct in that the KOA just outside of Hinton is one of the best KOA's we have ever stayed at. Not a destination campground but a good one for a one or two night layover. Very well kept, nice laundry, wifi, cable TV and friendly folks. Price was not bad. At this northern lattitude, no pool if I remeber correctly.
Hinton is also a nice place to stock up at before heading further North. There is a WalMart and a Safeway and other major retailers. The motel next to McDonalds has wifi you can access from the parking lot to check email etc.

We do hwy 40 several times a year, our route to Jasper. The only road difficulty is occasional snow storms - only July and August have no risk.
For the boon dockers:
Greg Lake with its large provincial campground near the Hintopn end is a nice stop. There are several very nice small campgrounds a bit further south. There is a great little day use park with river, waterfall and canyon between Muskeg village and Grande Cache. Hard to find - no sign northbound - several km southbound from Grande Cache airport road. Mason Creek Rec Area. Lots of unofficial camping going on in the river valley just north of GC. Sheep Creek is a favorite spot of ours. Two basic provincial campgrounds there, too.
