Summer Camping Tips With O'Connor RV
Prepare for spring & summer RV camping in Chilliwack.
Your How-To Guide for Summer RV Camping in British Columbia
Spring has arrived and it’s time to dust off the ol’ trailer for another year of exciting adventures! Whether you’re parking the family RV at a campground for the season or taking the road less travelled in your trusty motorhome, the O’Connor RV team has put together a few seasonal tips that will help you get the most out of BC’s favourite camping season.
1. Check for campground closures and fire bans ahead of time
Excited about that summer campfire? Not so fast. Wildfires have been a major issue on the West Coast in the past decade, so be sure to check for fire bans and potential highway closures due to wildfires before setting out for your next trip.
2. Book your campground in advance
BC camping season can be busy. Don’t pull up to a campground only to be turned away - book your site in advance! BC Parks offers helpful resources for finding and booking campsites that suit a variety of needs, and companies like Overnight RV Parking can help you find places to park your recreational vehicle on the fly.
Hot Tip: you can book your campground up to 2 months in advance through BC Parks.
3. Prepare your rig for summer camping
It’s time to clean off the cobwebs and get your unit in tip-top shape. You’ll need to complete a full de-winterization, deep spring-clean, and re-stock your RV with your favourite summer gear. Don’t have time to do it all yourself? We can help!
