Explore the wonders of Canada while RVing in the fall

Fall brings intense colours and fun adventures across Canada. From September to October, take advantage of cooler temperatures, fewer bugs and better health benefits as you enjoy the great outdoors while RVing in the fall. Whether you plan a scenic road trip, attend a local festival or reserve an ideal camping spot, consider several ways you can explore the Great White North in your RV.

Relax in a red chair

Since 2011, over 400 red chairs have been placed in stunning national park locations from coast to coast. So, while RVing in the fall, find a red chair and marvel at the wonder of our great country.

Marvel at plate tectonics

Park your RV in Gros Morne National Park and observe a unique example of plate tectonics. Located in Newfoundland and Labrador, the park offers boat tours, kayaking, and over 20 hiking and walking trails through diverse landscapes.

Dine in delight

Known for fabulous food, Prince Edward Island hosts the three-week Fall Flavours Food and Drink Festival. Sample local favourites and discover new delicacies as you feed your body and soul.
