Make your next road trip destination an RV park

From booming cities to vast prairie landscapes, breathtaking mountains to old growth forests, spectacular waterfalls to long sandy beaches — Canada has no shortage of places to explore in your RV this summer.

A growing number of Canadians choose to make their road trip the whole vacation. So they hit the road in a recreational vehicle (RV). RVs are popular mainly because they’re fun and provide a greater sense of freedom. Hotel availability, restaurant reservations, or even the closest town will no longer restrict you. With an RV, you can load everyone up, still have room to relax, all while travelling to your next destination. RVs can be a great low-cost alternative to the traditional holidays.

One of the best things about taking an RV on a road trip is that you get access to RV parks. RV parks offer something for every member of the family. They often include swimming pools, playgrounds, game rooms, nature trails, planned activities, boats, lakes to go fishing, and more. When you check into an RV park, you can look forward to scenic drives, comfortable amenities, roasting marshmallows by a campfire, and outdoor adventures.

RV parks range from back-to-nature basics, full facility campgrounds, serene camping sites, or even a full resort. Here are the basic terms you might encounter when you book an RV park:

A premier RV park with all the hook-ups as well as amenities such as swimming pools, hot tubs, a market, laundry facilities, and even tennis courts.

An RV park that has all the essentials (sewer, electricity and water).

These RV parks offer electrical and water hook-up on site.

These RV parks typically don’t have any hook-ups, but might supply a common water source for you to cook and shower.

An RV park with no hook-ups or access to utilities.

If you are ready to make your next family vacation an RV adventure, make sure you stay at an RV park. There are many online resources to help you get started. Check out travel booking sites to see availability, locations and prices. As your home away from home, RVs are an excellent way to spend time with family, visit great destinations and connect with a growing legion of other RV enthusiasts.
