Mark the weekend of September 9th and 10th on your calendar, as campgrounds coast-to-coast participate in the 2016 Fall Camping Appreciation Weekend. Campers will be offered a special rate of two nights (Friday and Saturday) of $50.00 + GST at participating campgrounds.

Camping is an affordable family activity that promotes a sense of community, creates life-long memories and encourages Canadians and international visitors to discover Canada’s rich landscape and engage with nature.

The Camping Appreciation Weekend is a new national initiative coordinated by the Canadian Camping and RV Council to say thank you for your patronage over the summer. So we encourage people to come out and celebrate the camping and RVing lifestyle!

To ensure you can get the campground of your choice, reservations must be made in advance directly with the individual participating campgrounds listed. Please note campsite availability is limited and on a first come first served basis.
