Winter Camping

Winter camping in British Columbia can mean different things to different people. For some, it’s about bundling up, pitching a tent and embracing everything the season has to offer. For others, the perfect winter getaway combines outdoor adventure with the warmth and comfort of an RV.

British Columbia is an increasingly popular destination for winter RV camping, with a growing selection of RV parks and campgrounds open year-round. The milder climates of Vancouver Island, the Vancouver Coast & Mountains region and parts of the Thompson Okanagan offer some of the greatest choice, while winter camping opportunities can also be found in other regions of the province.

Travelling during the quieter winter months has its advantages. Many year-round RV parks offer weekly and extended-stay options, often at lower rates than during the peak summer season. Visitors can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere and plenty of opportunities to settle in and explore the surrounding community. Depending on the property, amenities may include clubhouses and social activities, while walking trails, shops, restaurants, attractions and winter recreation are often nearby.

For Canadian Snowbirds who prefer to stay closer to home, British Columbia can also be an appealing winter destination. Extended-stay RV parks provide an opportunity to spend part or all of the winter in a milder BC climate, meet fellow RVers and enjoy local communities without travelling south of the border.

Whether you travel in a motorhome, fifth wheel, camper van or travel trailer, spending the winter in British Columbia gives you the freedom to explore at a slower pace. Enjoy coastal walks, snow-covered landscapes, local communities and outdoor adventures, then return to the comfort of your RV at the end of the day.
