Camping Smart

When planning for your next camping trip, make sure you take safety and security into account. Here are some key safety measures to camp safely and wisely.

Cathedral Provincial Park

It takes a day of hiking to get to this campground at the centre of Cathedral Provincial Park, in the Cascade Mountains west of B.C.’s Okanagan, but the park’s interior is worth it: a subalpine plateau of fish-filled lakes, unique geology, alpine meadows and, most importantly, plenty of hikeable summits and ridges. Day hikes project like spokes on a wheel from the campground, which sits on a turquoise lake across from impressive granite walls.

Things to do: The best hike is the Cathedral Rim Trail, a highline loop along a series of ridges topping out at over 2,500 metres. The route passes some of the park’s best-known geologic formations, including Smokey the Bear, the Devil’s Woodpile and Stone City. The Lake-view Mountain Trail leads to the park’s high point and provides extensive views—on a clear day you can see Mount Rainier’s bulk, 300 kilometres away. Four of the park’s lakes were stocked with trout in the 1930s. Cast for trophy rainbows in Ladyslipper and cutthroats in Lake of the Woods.

If you don’t feel like hiking in, you can arrange to hitch a ride to the centre of the park on a shuttle operated by Cathedral Lake Lodge

Fundy National Park

Fundy National Park in New Brunswick may be best-known for its tides—at up to 16 metres, the world’s highest—but Fundy has much, much more to offer: Acadian forest, rolling hills, waterfalls and over 100 kilometres of hiking trails. Plus the area oozes Maritime charm—quaint villages, foggy mornings, lobster right off the boat, and whales just offshore. The Point Wolfe Campground sits at the end of the road close to the ocean, and you have to drive across a covered bridge to reach it.

Things to do: Several good hiking trails head out from Point Wolfe. You can walk east to Matthews Head along the sea cliffs and headlands of the Coastal Trail. The short Coppermine Trail runs along the coast in the other direction and then loops back through the forest. For something a little more strenuous, drive east of the campground and hike the trail along Foster Brook. Or drive farther north and try Laverty Falls for a hike-and-swim combo. And of course, don’t miss the tides. If you have a boat, you can paddle from the protected waters in front of the campground out into the Bay of Fundy.

Stock up on lobster and fresh fish in the town of Alma, just outside the park.

Make Rving Fun!

Here are some ways you can make rving a fun experience!

Bring Games
This might seem like an obvious point, but it can be easy to forget to bring entertainment while you are busy packing up all of the essentials. Take games that suit your destination and the kind of trip you are planning on taking. Want to relax in the RV? Board games and card games are perfect? Prefer to be outside enjoying the fresh air? Pick from the selection of camping games at your local sporting goods store.

Meet Up with Others
When possible, try to coordinate your RV vacations with friends or family members who also own an RV. Socializing is one of the great parts of RV travel, and your trip will almost certainly be enhanced by the presence of others. This is also a great way to bring together people of like interests during the trip. For example, if you are traveling with your spouse, you might be able to invite another couple who also enjoys the same activities as you (hiking, fishing, swimming, etc.).

Go Somewhere New
The easiest way to break up your routine when it comes to RV travel is to simply pick a new destination. The whole point of owning an RV is having the freedom to visit different places – so why continue to go to the same spot time after time, year after year? Do some research online to find new potential destinations and give one a try.

Document the Journey
For a new experience, try taking pictures and videos all along the way so you can document the journey when you get back home. Even if you don’t plan on sharing these pictures and videos with others, the process of taking them will make your trip more fun and engaging. As an added bonus, you will be able to look back on the images you captured and fondly remember your RV travel experiences.

Turn Off Your Phone
This is a good piece of advice whether you are on an RV vacation or simply trying to relax at home. When possible, turn off your phone for a period of time so you can free your mind to enjoy the moment. It would be a shame to travel to a beautiful location in your RV only to keep your head buried in your phone the whole day.

Peter Lougheed Provincial Park

It's no wonder this gem of a camping area in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country is popular with the locals. It has all the peak attributes you get in nearby Banff, but without the crowds. Nestled on a promontory, it sits on the west shore of Upper Kananaskis Lake, and delivers a 360-degree view. The bad news for most people is that you can only reach it by hiking (or paddling) about three kilometres. Which is good news for the rest of us.

Things to do: Besides fishing for rainbow or cutthroat trout from camp, you can shoulder your rod and trek to Maude or Three Isle lakes for backcountry angling in spectacular locations. If you don’t fish, continue on to the flower-filled meadows and nice mountain views at South Kananaskis Pass. More ambitious hikers can tackle the all-day expedition to the headwall at Fossil Falls on an informal but well-used trail. Around camp, launch canoes and kayaks to explore the shoreline of Upper Kananaskis Lake.

For a quick and easy taste of alpine, drive south to the 2,200-metre Highwood Pass on Highway 40—Canada’s highest paved road—and hike the five-kilometre Ptarmigan Cirque Trail.

RV Inner Slide Seals

A great way to keep your slide seals from sticking is to coat them with good old baby powder. Just bring in the slide and look around the inner edge for a rubber seal. With a soft cloth coat, it with a layer of baby powder and the seal will stay nice and supple and won’t stick when the slide is in for extended periods.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

A great place for any hiker’s bucket list is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There are dozens of great trails to walk through in the park, and they offer trips through incredibly unique forests within the Appalachian Mountains subrange. The thick trees and heavy fern undergrowth make for a truly memorable and lasting experience, and you’ll think you are walking through the rainforest in some sections.

Great ideas to simplify and enjoy your camping outing!

New to Camping?

Here are some things you’ll want to keep in mind before venturing forth with your dog on your next camping adventure.

Mount Robson Provincial Park

When you first see 3,954-metre Mount Robson from the highway about 25 kilometres away, it’s obvious that the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies is also one of the most spectacular, with its immense bulk rising nearly 3,000 metres above you. And there’s no better place to admire its grandeur than at the Berg Lake Campground, which sits at the northern base of the peak, about a day’s hike from the highway. As its name suggests, the campground is located beside a small lake that actually contains mini icebergs that have broken off from a glacier on the mountain above.

Things to do: The Berg Lake area has several world-class hikes. If you need a recovery day after the 20-kilometre trek in, hike the Mumm Basin route for an eye-popping overview of Robson’s glaciated flanks for relatively little effort. The Snowbird Pass hike is an ambitious 22-kilometre round trip that runs along moraines, through alpine meadows and past the stunning Robson Glacier. The pass itself peers down on the vast Reef Icefield, which looks as if it was transported from Antarctica.

Save time on the hike in and out by taking a mountain bike, which is allowed on the first seven kilometres of the Berg Lake Trail.

Pickerel Park

Pickerel Park offers peace and quiet and a getaway from the everyday. Filled with friendly, like-minded folks, the park has a couple of turnkey cottages and seven trailers for rent in addition to its 140-power and water ready RV sites. The remaining 50 or so of its 200 sites are for those that love to put a tent up, light a fire to cook by, and camp under the stars among the forest of magnificent mature trees that populate Pickerel Park.

Cathedral Provincial Park

It takes a day of hiking to get to this campground at the centre of Cathedral Provincial Park, in the Cascade Mountains west of B.C.’s Okanagan, but the park’s interior is worth it: a subalpine plateau of fish-filled lakes, unique geology, alpine meadows and, most importantly, plenty of hikeable summits and ridges.
