Suggested RV Rental BC drives
The Sea-to-Sky Highway:
From Vancouver runs through British Columbia’s most visited region. See the Shannon Falls, visit the famous ski resort of Whistler, hike through the mountains from Pembroke and drive south through the Fraser Canyon to Hope, ending up back in Vancouver. There are plenty of places to stop on route, including the Riverside Resort and the Fraser Cove Camp ground.
Vancouver Island:
Boasts many beautiful drives throughout the island, from Victoria to Port Hardy. Motor along the West Coast Road to Port Renfrew and then take the Pacific Marine Road before resting in the Beaver Lake Resort Camp ground. Then head east to the island highway and keep driving north. Rest overnight in the Ripple Rock Camping Van Park or the Sunny Sanctuary Camp ground.
Highway 97:
Offers a long drive to the very north of the province at the border with the Yukon Territory. This is an exceptional route, passing through the Fraser Valley, by Williamston Lake and through the Northern Rocky Mountains. Stop overnight in Bee Lazee RV Park & Camp ground or the Triple G Hideaway.
