In Brief

Canadians are turning to RV travel this summer. Startup RVezy and major rental companies offer rates from 100 to 400 Canadian dollars per night. Experts advise booking campsites 2–3 days ahead and following the 'three-three-three' rule.

With summer underway, Canadians are again hitting the road in RVs, opting for more affordable vacations. Canadian startup RVezy, an Airbnb-style platform for RVs, connects owners with renters. Trailer rentals range from 100 to 150 Canadian dollars per night, motorhomes from 200 to 300 dollars. Major companies (CanaDream, Cruise Canada, Fraserway) offer rates from 100 to 400 dollars per night, plus extra charges for mileage (e.g., 300 dollars for 800 km) and insurance (15–35 dollars per day).

Experts recommend booking campsites 2–3 days in advance, or up to six months for popular parks, and following the 'three-three-three' rule: no more than 300 km per day, check-in before 3:00 p.m., and stay at least three nights. Enthusiasts advise considering vehicle size, campground location, and electrical hookups when planning.
