Coast to coast, there’s much to experience and explore across Canada. And there’s no better way to discover this vast and beautiful country of ours than hopping in an RV and driving through our postcard-worthy provincial parks, UNESCO World Heritage sites and visiting national monuments. We highlight six routes that allow you to choose your own adventure, whether it’s driving across the country or visiting a regional gem.

The Trapp Family Lodge began welcoming guests to what was originally a 27-room family home in 1950. Later the lodge expanded, establishing itself as one of the oldest Nordic centres in the United States and the largest in Stowe.
Exploring Vancouver Island with the Family
If I had three words to describe Vancouver Island, they would be green, rugged and wild.
