Spend the night in Canada's parks
Spend the night in Canada's parks
While on a Canada vacation, travelers would be remiss if they didn't explore the county's beautiful national parks system. The scenery in these tremendous locales is so beautiful that many may not want to make the trip back to their hotel come nightfall.
Camping can be fun, but packing a tent is a hassle. Fortunately, Parks Canada offers travelers a number of sleeping arrangements right in the park. Not only are these lodgings a great way to see the parks at night, they're also a good way to save money.
For example, many of the parks are home to yurts. These round buildings provide protection from the elements and come outfitted with beds and a small amount of furniture. Yurts are available in Quebec's Forillon Park, Manitoba's Riding Mountain and New Brunswick's Fundy.
Similar to a yurt are cottage tents. This is essentially a large and think piece of canvas tied tightly over a wooden platform, with plenty of room for sleeping arrangements inside. The tents at Jasper come with a number of perks - electric lights, stove, heaters, cooking gear and even a coffee maker.
Travelers should get in contact with Parks Canada before they set off on their Canada vacation, as many of these have to be booked in advance.
