THE CAMPERVAN CRAZE is sweeping the globe. Go through your social media accounts, and you’re bound to land on someone’s trip through United States or Canada in one of these converted vehicles. Their popularity makes sense. In these vans, travellers can enjoy both the comfort of modern luxuries and the freedom of the wild outdoors. If you have not thought of the reasons why you should go on a campervan holiday, we have thought of 3 reasons for you!
1. Roam around freely
No other method of travel offers such freedom, with a campervan affording almost the same reach as a motorcar with the convenience of your own ‘home’ on board.

2. Enjoy stars in comfort
Imagine yourself lying on the cosy bed, wrapped with thick blanket while you enjoy stargazing at Banff, Jasper and Wells Gray Provincial Park. Each stop comes the opportunity to explore new places. What you can see through the campervan window are amazing!
3. Convenience
- No other form of travel offer the convenience that campervan holiday provides.
- Wanted to shoot time lapse video, fly a drone or take beautiful nice photos during the trip, but worry about the bulkiness of these equipment? This should be the last thing on your mind as we can always park our 'hotel room' nearby with all your equipment in it.
- Wanted to take photo of yourself in different outfits at the scenic lookout point, but there is no changing room around? No worries, the campervan parked right in front of you is your changing room.
- Feeling unwell when the rest are heading out for a hike? No worries, you can rest on your cosy bed with attached toilet in the campervan.
- Save the time and hassle of unpacking and packing your luggage at different hotels (Canada is huge, you will be changing hotel almost every day if you are travelling via car). Travelling via campervan allow you to unpack and pack your luggage in the campervan once and for all.
