Canada's campground membership network. 68+ private campgrounds. $0 per night.
Northern Stay is a campground membership network. Members pay a seasonal or lifetime fee and then camp at $0 per night at any Northern Stay location. There are no nightly charges, no booking fees, and no per-visit costs within a member's plan allowance.
The network includes 68+ private campgrounds across Canada and the United States. Campgrounds include power hookups, water, dump stations, washrooms, and amenities not available at public campgrounds or Crown Land.
Northern Stay operates two membership products: the Getaway Pass and the Lifestyle Membership. The Getaway Pass is a seasonal membership priced at $999 per season, covering 30 nights. The Lifestyle Membership is $4,999 upfront plus $79/month and includes up to six months of camping per season with no annual renewal requirement.
Getaway Pass members book campsites up to 60 days in advance. Lifetime members book up to 90 days in advance. Some campgrounds in the network are member-only and not available to the general public. Northern Stay campgrounds are privately owned and operated — they are not affiliated with provincial parks, national parks, or Crown Land.
