In short. The directory combines official open data and community-mapped data. We reword and organise it, but we do not inspect every campground, so use it to shortlist and then confirm with the operator.
Where the listings come from
- Quebec (838 listings). Adapted from the Ministère du Tourisme du Québec’s Campings dataset (SIT Québec), published under CC BY 4.0. We changed names, wording and grouping.
- Rest of Canada (1827 listings). Adapted from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). We kept named campgrounds that show RV evidence or have contact details, merged near-duplicates and dropped signs, single sites and backcountry points.
- National parks (57 listings). Campsite counts and coordinates from the Government of Canada’s Parks Canada Accommodation open dataset.
- Everything else. A small number of listings were added by hand from operators’ own websites.
What the data cannot tell you
- We have not verified individual campgrounds by phone or visit. Quebec listings are the ministry’s published data (kept only where a phone or website is given), with season dates labelled as 2026 dates. Other provinces rely on community-mapped data and operator websites.
- Hookups and season dates are a snapshot and change from year to year.
- Places marked RV access not confirmed may not take RVs at all.
- We do not list site length, pull-through sites, rates or pet rules, because the sources do not carry them reliably.
- Town names for community-mapped listings are worked out from coordinates and are approximate.
