There are some incredible places to camp all around Calgary. From Waterton Lakes to Banff and Jasper National parks, Alberta has tons to offer any adventurer looking for that authentic Western Canadian trek. And if you prefer to plan a road trip through BC's wine country and out to the Sunshine Coast - we can't think of a better way to do it!*Please remember - the Get-Away Van is by no means an off-road vehicle. Although very reliable, please do not take our van too far off the beaten path. It is NOT made for 4-wheeling into your favourite ATV camp, however, it is a great base camp for getting to those spots on your quads! Always make sure you have an easy way in AND out of your campsite when random camping on Crown Land. If you have reserved a campsite, even better! We've got all the hookups for power and water when using those paid sites as well.Other things to note
If you are bringing your pets, please ensure they are doing their business outside of the van. Clean up after them as you would yourselves and we have no problems with you sharing these adventures with your furry family members!
No smoking! Please help us keep our van in top condition so that everyone can enjoy their adventure to the fullest.
If you use the toilet, you MUST empty and clean it!
No Off-Roading - Our van was made in 1988. Although things were constructed a bit differently then, we want to ensure its longevity. Please go easy on our old girl so that those who follow can enjoy their adventure just as you did.
