Regular gas differs by up to 50¢/L between provinces (Alberta vs. BC, Sep 2026 — see our provincial table). Compare stations before you fill.
Crowdsourced prices from real drivers — prices refresh as drivers submit updates, but a given station's price can be several hours old. Treat it as a strong indicator, not a live feed. All prices shown in CAD. Set your fuel type (regular, premium, diesel) and see every nearby station ranked by price, with drive-time shown.
Fill up in Alberta: typically 25–50¢/L cheaper than BC and Atlantic Canada.
Natural Resources Canada publishes official weekly provincial and city-level fuel price averages in CAD. Not real-time like GasBuddy, but authoritative for planning purposes — use this to compare provinces when building your route budget.
Also powers the Northern Stay Canada Road Trip Gas Calculator.
Built for truckers but extremely useful for diesel RVers. Shows truck stops, weigh stations, diesel prices, parking, dump stations, and tire repair locations along Canadian highways. Particularly useful on remote corridors where not every station sells diesel.
The most comprehensive community-driven database of dispersed camping spots, Crown land sites, trailheads, wild camps, water sources, and service locations in Canada. Offline downloads need the Pro plan (about US$60/year); the free tier works online. Each listing has user photos, reviews, and GPS coordinates.
A directory of free and cheap camping spots across Canada and the US. Filter free vs. low-cost and by RV access. Works best in well-populated areas; coverage can be thin in remote northern regions where iOverlander is stronger.
Campground reviews with real photos and critical details that booking sites miss: cellular signal strength, noise levels, site size, road access, and whether your specific rig type can fit. Reviewers often mention their rig size which helps you gauge fit.
Stay overnight for free at wineries, breweries, farms, distilleries, golf courses, and unique Canadian properties. Your membership covers the stay — the expectation is that you support the host's business. Strong Canadian coverage in BC wine country, Ontario farm regions, and the Maritimes.
Large campground and services database — private, provincial and national parks, truck stops, rest areas and dump stations — with offline maps. Rest areas are for short stops, not overnight camping, in most provinces.
The official Environment Canada app. Free, accurate, and tuned specifically for Canadian geography and conditions. Push alerts for severe weather (thunderstorms, high winds, freezing rain) — the kind of alerts that matter when you're setting up camp or driving through mountain passes.
Windy's animated wind visualization is in a class of its own. See wind speed and direction at different altitudes, gusts, and timing — critical for towing decisions on exposed highways and mountain passes. If you're driving through southern Alberta or the BC Rockies, Windy should be on every day.
Canadian commercial weather service (Pelmorex). Good for hourly forecasts with Canadian-specific context like road weather advisories, wildfire smoke indexes, and aurora forecasts in northern areas.
Your regional CAA club's app (BCAA, AMA, CAA SCO, CAA Quebec, CAA Atlantic) requests roadside help and tracks the truck. RV coverage is sold as CAA Plus RV or Premier RV by your regional club.
Membership required; RV coverage is a higher tier.
Two-way satellite texting and SOS with no cell signal.
Track your RV's service history, set up reminders for oil changes, tire rotations, generator service, and roof reseals. The app can alert you when maintenance is due based on mileage or time. Keeping records in-app also helps with warranty claims and resale value.
reservation.pc.gc.ca books national park campgrounds — Banff, Jasper, Cape Breton, Gros Morne and more; launch dates are staggered by park each January–March. The Parks Canada app is for visitor information only.
Ontario's provincial park booking system. Opens reservations 5 months in advance — Ontario Parks summer sites are competitive, so bookmark this and set your alarm for opening day if you're targeting popular parks like Algonquin, Sandbanks, or Killarney.
Each province has its own booking system — BC uses Discover Camping, Quebec uses Sépaq.
For private campgrounds, the booking scramble doesn't apply if you're a Northern Stay member. Book your sites 60–90 days in advance at 80+ privately owned campgrounds coast to coast — before the general public even has access. No nightly fees, no availability lottery.
