Why hire a campervan or motorhome in British Columbia

British Columbia — a region worth exploring

British Columbia's Sea-to-Sky Highway stretches 99 km from Vancouver to Whistler, climbing from sea level to over 600 metres and ranking among North America's most celebrated driving routes. The province covers nearly 945,000 square kilometres of Pacific coastline, temperate rainforest, and interior mountain ranges — making it a remarkable destination for campervan and motorhome travel. From the vibrant city of Vancouver to the wine-producing Okanagan Valley, and from the surf beaches of Tofino on Vancouver Island to the alpine trails around Revelstoke, British Columbia offers extraordinary variety. The drive from Vancouver to Kamloops is roughly 355 km through the Fraser Canyon, while the journey from Kelowna to Nelson covers about 270 km of winding lakeside roads through the Kootenay region. Coastal routes suit smaller campervans, while the broad interior highways are ideal for larger motorhomes. Provincial parks are plentiful, with well-maintained campgrounds spread across every corner of British Columbia. Whether you want to kayak in the Gulf Islands, spot bears in the Great Bear Rainforest, or soak in natural hot springs near Invermere, there is always something to discover. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across British Columbia, choosing from a wide range of campervans and motorhomes that suit your group size, budget, and travel style — a peer-to-peer approach that keeps things personal and flexible.

Best time to visit

British Columbia is wonderful to explore from late May through to October. Summer months bring long daylight hours and warm temperatures, perfect for coastal and mountain adventures alike. The Kelowna Canada Day celebrations in July and the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver each August are well worth planning around. Campervan hire through Yescapa tends to offer better value in the shoulder months of May, June, and September, when provincial park campgrounds are quieter and availability is strong. Book ahead for July and August — the most popular season across British Columbia. Autumn brings golden larches in the Kootenays and harvest festivals in the Okanagan, making it a rewarding time for a motorhome trip.

British Columbia's provincial parks offer a superb network of campgrounds, from oceanfront pitches on Vancouver Island to forested sites in the interior mountains. Most campgrounds provide flush toilets, hot showers, fire pits, and picnic tables, with many offering electrical hook-ups suitable for both campervans and motorhomes.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in British Columbia

British Columbia has no toll roads on its main highway network, so you can travel freely without worrying about toll charges. Speed limits on major highways are typically 110 km/h for cars, but motorhomes and campervans over 5,500 kg are limited to 100 km/h on most routes. Mountain passes such as the Coquihalla (Highway 5) and the Rogers Pass (Highway 1) require winter tyres or chains between October and April. Rest areas are well spaced along major corridors, and fuel stations are frequent in the south but can be 100 km or more apart in northern British Columbia — plan your stops accordingly.
