Canadian Camping and RV Association

Happy Friday, campers! 🌅🌲

We are officially less than ten days away from the Summer Solstice, which means we are currently enjoying some of the longest, brightest days of the entire year.

In many parts of the country, the sun isn't setting until well past 9:00 PM! These extended twilight hours are the absolute best part of June camping. It means more time for evening paddles, longer hikes without rushing back, and plenty of daylight to perfectly toast your marshmallows before the stars come out.

How to make the most of these long summer nights:

Ditch the Screens: Put the phones on airplane mode and challenge the family to a sunset board game tournament on the picnic table.

The Twilight Walk: Grab a flashlight and take a walk around the campground loop just as the sun goes down—it's the best time to safely spot local wildlife!

Late-Night Stargazing: With the weather warming up, you can finally stay out late enough to watch the constellations appear without needing your heavy winter parka.

Are you hitching up and heading out this weekend to chase the sunset? Let us know where you are camping in the comments! 🚐💨
