What is dry camping?

Dry camping, also called camping ‘off the grid’, refers to camping in an RV with no hookups to electricity, water and toilet/sewer services. Campers rely on the RV’s built-in features such as propane tank, batteries, refrigeration, freshwater storage and waste holding tanks; portable generators are often used as are systems to harness solar energy. Dry campers may set up on public and private lands, with the permission of the land holder/owner. This includes crown land and recreation sites, some spots in national and provincial parks, and beaches and back roads. When dry camping it is especially important to be prepared, self-reliant and to clean up as you go and leave no trace.
