After a year and a half of being stuck indoors, we're all itching to get out and start exploring our own backyards again.
Companies like Outdoorsy make it super easy to rent an RV for a week and be in tune with nature. You can explore a whole lot more without having to drive back and forth from a hotel every night.
There's so much to do in Vancouver over Canada Day long weekend like hiking through gorgeous Cypress Provincial Park, biking around Seawall, even renting a BBQ boat on Granville Island. The adventures are endless.
What better way to get around than in a vintage Volkswagen? Outdoorsy is chock-full of them – plus other campers, RVs and trailers – all for as little as $65 a night. And you don't have to feel guilty about leaving your dog at home all week because most rentals are pet-friendly.
It's been a long time since we've been able to travel, so let's get outside and explore nature! Here are some awesome rentals you can find in and around Vancouver this long weekend.
