Leave No Trace
Leave No Trace is a set of outdoor ethics that helps protect Canada’s natural spaces. Campers should pack out all garbage, stay on marked trails, and avoid disturbing wildlife. By following these principles, everyone can help keep parks and campgrounds clean and wild for future visitors.
Camping Reservations & Permits
Many national and provincial parks require reservations for campsites, especially in peak season. Some backcountry sites also need permits, so check the rules before you go.

My experience with Camping in Canada
I have to admit, our family was a little late to the camping game. We didn’t start camping until a few years ago, so our older kids missed out on some of the fun.
But we have since made up for it! From camping in an oTENTik in Grasslands National Park to enjoying a night in a Tipi on Manitoulin Island, tenting on Cape Breton Island, a Yurt in Nova Scotia, a Bunkie in PEI, and staying in a tear-drop-shaped Oasis in Newfoundland, we have done it all!
In fact, we have enjoyed the camping experience so much, that we are now the proud owners of a teardrop camper! But that is a story for another day…
It really doesn’t matter what type of camping you enjoy, Canada is sure to leave a lasting impression.
