Canada's summer months, April to May, are sunny and warm and perfect for exploring. The off peak months are slightly cooler but a lot less busy and possibly slightly cheaper. British Columbia is dotted with thousands of Campgrounds and a
4 berth camper can go from as little as $50 per day.
Begin your journey of two to three weeks in
Vancouver, picking up a
Motorhome to suit your needs. Leaving Vancouver take a short ferry ride with your Motorhome across to
Nanaimo. Explore the charming and quaint towns that surround the area like the
Town of Ladysmith. spend the day popping into lovely shops, engrossed in the history of the area or spend some time at the Maritime Museum. Stop into Transfer beach where the kids can play on the playground or you can take a stroll, picnic or kayak at the beach.

Odegaard Falls is one of British Columbia's highest waterfalls at about 900 feet tall. Drive up the bumping road leading to the falls from Bella Coola and be blown away by the captivating scenery. Prepare yourself and walk the trail to the falls.
Take the Chilcotin route to Nimpo Lake, lose all civilization and be lost in the magnificent scenery outside your Motorhome on route to the alpine waters.
Join cowboy country in Williams Lake where you are open to a plethora of outdoor activities. Take another hike or a cycle, go for a fish, kayak, raft or dive. Many a spectacular viewpoint is available for wildlife viewing if you haven't seen enough on your drive.
Go south on the Gold Rush Trail ( Caribou Highway) to Lytton for some white water rafting and then warm up in Harrison Hot Springs. From here spend some more night at the foot of soaring mountains, aside pristine lakes or head back on the highway to Vancouver.
