Camping can be a great vacation choice for all sorts of groups that are out for a little bit of adventure. You might decide to take a weekend away from the city life in Thornhill real estate with the whole family or could plan a trip with friends to take a van across the whole country for the summer. And one of the best things about being in Canada is that you are never very far from some great camping destinations. Here are five of the best choices throughout the country.

The number five choice is a park that can boast of ten miles of beach along the Pacific Ocean and hiking trails through a rainforest. Pacific Rim National Park is located on Vancouver Island about four hours northwest of Victoria. If you're coming from an inland location like Markham real estate than you might be amazed at how many sites there are to see at this destination. You can spend the day surfing or searching for different wild animals or could even do a little bit of whale watching.

On the opposite side of the country you will find the number four best camping spot at Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland. While the name of this park might be French for "big and gloomy" the truth is a million things that make a few foggy days well worth the whole trip. While you're vacationing from as far away as London Ontario real estate or nearby Corner Brook you can view the mountains and blue fjords while you're watching moose walk by and eagles fly overhead. These mountains are even older than the Rockies.

Also in the Maritimes you will find the Cabot Trail Highway and Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The boardwalk trail is lined with rare orchids that you definitely won't find in landscaping Brantford or Calgary based and you will likely be amazed at the sight of the 100-foot Beulach Ban Falls. The steep cliffs will make you feel like you're on the coast of Ireland across the ocean and you can view at least a dozen animals that are endangered or at risk throughout the park.

When most people think about Canada they image mountains and pristine waters. This is exactly what you'll find in Alberta's Banff National Park. This is one of the top tourist destinations in the entire country for people camping and those from Toronto condos more suited to a luxury resort and has everything from hot springs inside a limestone cave to wild bears. But it still only gets the number two spot on our list.

In the heart of Ontario you will find a true camper's paradise. Algonquin National Park is the home of nearly one hundred lakes and people come here to do everything from swim to dogsled throughout the year. And if you're from the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor, like half of Canadians are, than you're only a few hours from this natural wonder.
