Three Bucket List Camping Spots to Take the RV in Canada

 

Canada is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. With more lakes than the rest of the world combined, some of the world’s most iconic scenery such as Niagara Falls, the Rockies, the Arctic, the Great Lakes, and around 7% of the world’s renewable fresh water, it is no wonder that RVers and outdoor-fanatics travel the country by the millions every year. 

If you’re planning your next getaway, consider one of the following places to take your friends and family!     

Banff National Park, Alberta

Established in 1885, Banff National Park, is Canada’s very first national park! Known for its breathtaking views in every direction, there is unlimited adventure to be found. Just 80 miles west of Calgary in the province of Alberta, you can find numerous glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forests, alpine landscapes, and plentiful wildlife to take enough picturesque photos to create 5 different gift calendars for the family. Banff has it all from white water rafting, to canoeing along the emerald waters of Lake Louise, to relaxing in the Banff upper hot springs. Check out this blog to get a more detailed review of some of the most spectacular hikes and rafting trips to do while you’re there! As far as camping and RVing goes, take a look at these 10 campgrounds to pick the best accommodation for your trip! 

Mount Robson Provincial Park, B.C.

Okay, travelers. This park has been described as “one of the world’s crown jewels”. Mount Robson Provincial Park is named after the gigantic peak that guards the park’s western entrance. At 3,954 meters, Mount Robson is the big friendly giant and largest peak in the Canadian Rockies, that will tap into the inner Van Gogh in all of us. The main event for this park is the Berg Lake Trail. This trail has become a demand as a world class destination, so this trail is now 100% reservable. Therefore, you should adjust and plan your trip accordingly! Click here to book your reservation on the the trail on or after January 2. Now, grab your hiking sticks, and get moving because you’re about to traverse 23 kilometers and pass through three biogeoclimatic zones. There are seven campgrounds along the trail, so no worries, if your jello legs need a break! And if hiking isn’t your thing, don’t let that stop you from coming to enjoy fishing, canoeing, or wildlife spotting. There are heaps of activities not to be missed. Check out the Mount Robson Meadows Campground, located right inside in the park, for all of your RV and camping needs!

Nopiming Provincial Park, Manitoba 

Nearing the end of our short list, we have the quiet and tranquil Nopiming Provincial Park. Where the northern lights, woodland caribou, wolves, and moose can be spotted as you canoe through the park’s lakes and rivers through the Canadian Shield on the Manitoba-Ontario border. Stay at the Tulabi Falls Campground, the closest campground in the park to Winnipeg and also the most private, with its own beach right on the Bird River canoe route. Put in your canoe and make believe your Sacagawea as you spend the day paddling up the Bird River to Elbow Lake. Bring your fishing pole to catch some walleye, pike and bass in Bird Lake’s many bays. If fishing or canoeing doesn’t suit your fancy, have a blast discovering the secrets of the park’s past and the abandoned shafts of the 1930s Manitoba gold rush.
