A new year brings opportunities for new adventures. While summer campfire evenings may seem distant, now is an ideal time to plan this year’s RV journeys. Whether seeking off-the-beaten-path locations or classic experiences, consider these tips for crafting your 2023 RV bucket list.
Begin with a brainstorming session
Gather travel companions and brainstorm possibilities without judgment. No matter how far-fetched, there are no bad ideas at this stage. Write down every idea on paper to get creative juices flowing.
Dream and compare
Each person independently creates their own destination and activity list. Then compare lists to identify overlapping interests and prioritize those shared experiences.
Think big
Consider ambitious multi-week adventures: traversing the Maritimes, driving the Dempster Highway in Yukon, crossing Canada, or exploring the Oregon coast.
Think small
Weekend getaways and local exploration offer rewards too. Playing tourist in your own region reduces fuel costs and can be equally fulfilling.
Take in a festival or event
Combine RV travel with music festivals, fairs, or stampedes. Many special events even offer on-site camping, so you’re fully immersed in the experience.
Think outside traditional bucket list items
While national and provincial parks are popular, securing reservations proves challenging. Explore unique, lesser-known destinations instead — see our hidden gems.
