One of the things I’ve always liked most about RVing is that it’s so deeply personal. Your RV experience can be whatever you want it to be. If you want to take extended trips across the continent yet still enjoy all the comforts of home, you can find plush fifth wheels and motorhomes with enough space and luxurious amenities to suit every taste. If your idea of RVing is to enjoy long-weekend trips and summer vacations with the whole family, you can find wonderful trailers that sleep six, eight or even more people in perfect comfort and with enough room to accommodate everyone’s toys. If you prefer to get away from it all to enjoy exploring remote wilderness areas or canoeing on quiet mountain lakes, you can find truck campers that can take you anywhere, on-road or off.

This wonderful diversity in RVs and RVing is nowhere better reflected than in the thousands of incredible campgrounds found right across Canada. Our annual Canadian Campground Directory – included free with this issue – provides detailed information on great RV destinations in every province and territory – more than 4,000 campgrounds in all. You’ll find everything from luxurious sites in town with telephone service and wireless high-speed internet, to quiet, remote spots where it’s just you and the loons. Whatever your preference, you’ll find all sorts of great places to discover right here at your fingertips.

Each campground listing is freshly updated for 2005. Most of the campgrounds have a handy map reference provided right up front, so you can quickly locate them on a road map. To keep things simple, the letter-number designation we use in our listings matches the grid reference for each province’s official road map, so you can pinpoint any campground in the country with ease. What could be more convenient?

Our feature listings are also freshly expanded this year. Looking for a spot that offers specific features like pull-through sites, WiFi, or an on-site laundry? Each listing contains all that information, and more. Need to confirm that pets are welcome? You’ll find that too. Many listings even include detailed driving directions, so you can find your way in the dark.

No matter what kind of RV experience you enjoy, I hope you’ll find our Canadian Campground Directory to be a handy and useful guide. Each year we receive letters from readers with comments or suggestions, and we appreciate your input. If you know a spot we missed or have an idea that could make future directories easier to use, please drop us a line. We would love to hear from you. (Top)
