Canadian RV & Camping Month, organized by the Canadian Camping and RV Association (CCRVA), is set to return this June, presenting an opportunity for campground operators and RV park owners across Canada to engage with the public while advancing their business and community outreach efforts.
The annual initiative, now a staple in the Canadian outdoor recreation calendar, serves to highlight the breadth of the country’s natural landscapes and the growing appeal of domestic travel.
With ongoing interest in closer-to-home vacations, the 2025 campaign offers a timely platform for operators to capture early-season traffic and promote long-term customer engagement.
“This year, more than ever, Canadians are looking to travel closer to home — and what better way to explore the best of Canada than by camping in our own backyard,” said Cara Csizmadia, president of CCRVA.
June, which brings favorable weather and fewer peak-season crowds, provides optimal conditions for campers and operators alike.
Participating campgrounds are expected to benefit from increased visibility through national-level marketing coordinated by CCRVA, along with potential upticks in bookings driven by site-specific promotions and events.
Guests can take part by booking a stay at any campground across Canada throughout June. A nationwide directory of participating locations can be found at gorving.ca.
For businesses in the outdoor hospitality sector, Canadian RV & Camping Month also underscores the value of community partnerships.
Through CCRVA’s collaboration with Care Camps, operators have the chance to support children affected by cancer, with proceeds going toward specialized oncology camping experiences. Campgrounds that opt into the fundraiser will receive added exposure throughout the campaign.
As CCRVA notes, “Our campgrounds are ready to welcome everyone — whether you’re a seasoned RVer, first-time camper, or glamping enthusiast.”
In addition to promoting tourism within Canada, the initiative supports broader economic development goals by encouraging consumers to spend within their local regions.
For business owners, this presents a prime opportunity to build relationships with returning guests, boost mid-season revenue, and align their operations with a national cause marketing effort that reinforces the social and recreational value of camping.
