Journeyscape, specialists in tailor‑made travel across North America, has unveiled new research identifying the best provinces in Canada for an unforgettable RV adventure.

1. British Columbia — RV road‑trip score: 6.55/10

British Columbia tops the list as Canada's ultimate RV destination. Home to towering mountains, pristine lakes, abundant wildlife and vast pollution‑free skies, the province offers some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth. Travellers can tick off bucket‑list locations including the Canadian Rockies, Whistler and Pacific Rim National Park.

With 39.3 campgrounds per 100,000 people, British Columbia has the highest campground density in the country. It also boasts Canada's longest road network, with more than 11,000 miles of well‑maintained highways weaving through its wilderness—ideal for long, scenic drives.

Methodology

Journeyscape created an RV road trip report using the following data:

• RV parks: We used Campendium to find the number of RV parks per US state and Canadian province.  We then normalised this data by calculating the number of RV parks per 100,000 people.

• Campgrounds: We used Campendium once again to find the number of campgrounds per US state and Canadian province. We then normalised this data by calculating the number of campgrounds per 100,000 people.

• Fuel cost: For US fuel costs, we used gas prices to get the average cost of regular gas per gallon. For Canada, we used Gas Buddy to get the average regular gas price per litre.
• Road infrastructure: We used the FHWA to determine the road density (in miles) per US state. We used Transport Canada data to determine the total road density (in kilometres) per province. We then multiplied this by 1.6 to work out the road density in miles.

• Social media popularity: We used Instagram to find the number of posts with the hashtag '[STATE/PROVINCE]roadtrip'.
• Currencies were converted using Xe.com.
