Your Campervan Adventure Starts Here: Insider Tips for Exploring BC This Season

Spring is in full bloom, and British Columbia is calling. Whether you're a first-time vanlifer or a seasoned road tripper, hitting the road with a fully-equipped Venture Van means less stress and more freedom to explore. All you need to do is show up — we’ll take care of the rest.

Ready to roam? Here are our best tips to make the most out of your BC Camper van adventure.

1. Let the Weather Guide You

BC’s weather can shift quickly — sunny on the coast, rainy in the mountains. One of the perks of vanlife? You can adjust your route on the go. Heading toward rain? Chase the sun instead. Always check the forecast and stay flexible with your plans.

2. Don't Overplan — Leave Room for Magic

With your bed, kitchen, and gear all in one place, you're free to go where the road takes you. Some of the most unforgettable stops are the ones you didn’t plan — a hidden lake, a quiet trail, or a viewpoint you find by accident. Say yes to spontaneous detours.

3. Hit the Road Early (Coffee Included)

Your van comes with everything you need for a hot morning coffee. Brew it up and hit the road before the crowds — especially if you’re heading to popular spots like Joffre Lakes, Tofino, or the Sea to Sky Highway. Mornings on the road are pure magic.

4. Choose Scenic Over Speedy

In BC, the slow route is usually the best one. Take Highway 4 to the Island’s west coast or explore the winding roads through the Kootenays. Your campervan is your home — enjoy the views and pull over often.

5. Support Local Along the Way

One of the best parts of road tripping through BC is discovering local markets, bakeries, and coffee shops in small towns. Not only does it support the local community — it’s also delicious.
