clock 5 MINUTES READ

It’s Canadian RV and Camping Week May 21-26!

Campers across the country are kicking off their favourite season with Canadian RV and Camping Week. All you have to do to join in is round up your best buds, channel your inner boy scout, and  pile everyone into the rig.

Our number one suggestion when planning a boys’ weekend: plan ahead. Here’s a few things to think about before hitting the road.

TRANSPORTATION

Looking to rent a rig? Step 1: Find a rental near you with our Find A Dealer Tool!

NAVIGATION

While it’s fun to claim the title of road trip DJ, someone has to navigate too. Especially if you choose a destination new to the whole gang. Looking for some trip inspiration? Take the work out of planning your route by using one of our Trip Guides.

Recreation

The best part about camping in Canada is the amount of variety our country offers. So what’s on the agend Surfing, fishing, hiking, golfing, beach bum living? You don’t want to be stuck in the wilderness without your frisbee or fishing rod.

No matter where your destination in Canada, you can bet there will be a beautiful golf course nearby. If that’s your type of afternoon adventure, remind your friends to pack their clubs.

Other than the main events, pack a few games or a deck of cards to play back at the campsite. There’s no better way to wind down than with a little friendly competition, right?

Campfire Eats

Chat with your friends to plan who brings how much of what. Maybe pack a couple outdoor cooking accessories to get the full camping experience. Pie irons and flame roasted burgers, anyone? Here are some easy camping recipes that the squad can enjoy.

Prepare for all the Elements

Depending on where you call home in Canada, you should pack accordingly. May is known for its unexpected mood swings. You don’t want to be caught out on the golf course without an umbrella, or walking through the woods without layers.
This tip also applies to choosing the perfect campsite. Look for high ground with a good mix of sun and shade. If possible, check out your site as soon as you arrive before committing to it for the weekend.

Don’t Forget to Relax

Kick up your feet. Get out on the water. Throw in a line. Fry up some comfort food on the open fire.

The best way to kick off our favourite season is to enjoy yourself. It doesn’t matter where you camp or what you do, as long as it’s quality time with your pals away from the city lights.
