RV Life Highlights Western Canada’s ‘Best RV Parks, Resorts’
EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is an excerpt of a report by Lynne Fedorick for RV Life, a network of websites, forums and digital tools for RV enthusiasts.
Canada is a big country full of wild places and beautiful destinations to explore. However, if you can’t tour the whole country, you definitely won’t want to miss Western Canada. From the wide-open skies and friendly people of the prairies to the saltwater perfume of the West Coast of Vancouver Island, there are a lot of amazing places to visit in your RV. As an added bonus, the exchange rate continues to make travel in Canada affordable for our American neighbors.
In this article, I’ll tell you about the best places to camp in Western Canada. Across Western Canada, you’ll find camping in national parks and provincial parks, as well as at RV parks. You’ll also find regional campgrounds in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
In Alberta, you’ll find free crown land camping. In BC, Recreation Sites offer free camping in some of the most beautiful spots in the province. We’ll have a look at some fantastic options for camping in Canada’s four western provinces. Let’s start in Manitoba and head west from there through Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC.
Camping in Manitoba
Manitoba originates from its capital city, Winnipeg. Winnipeg happens to be at the geographic center of North America. This multi-ethnic, friendly city is home to fantastic cuisine from all over the world.
Winnipeg also has many great attractions including the architecturally magnificent Canadian Museum For Human Rights and Assiniboine Park. For dog lovers, Winnipeg has a phenomenal 40 + acres of off-leash dog parks. The 68% of RVs who travel with a dog will appreciate having the opportunity to play with or walk their best friend in one of these spaces. With that being said, most dog parks in Winnipeg are more than 40 acres.
As a province, Manitoba has its roots in agriculture. Agricultural enthusiasts will love the vast fields of sunflowers, canola, wheat, and legumes stretched across the south of the province. There’s just something very cool about seeing where a good portion of the food for people around the world is grown.
Southern Manitoba has lots of great campgrounds for RV camping. However, expect to find hungry mosquitoes and all kinds of bitey little flies everywhere but Winnipeg. This is because Winnipeg sprays for mosquitoes every spring to keep the bugs at bay. With that being said, be sure to bring insect repellent.
