The average private campground in Canada charges $65–$80/night. A Northern Stay membership brings that to $33/night — on private land you can actually book.
Getaway Pass $999/season · Lifestyle Membership $4,999
Not because you camp too much — because you pay like everyone else does. That's about to change.
You set an alarm, log on at 7am sharp, and still lose provincial park sites to bots. Then you scramble for whatever's left.
Private campground rates doubled since 2020. You're paying premium pricing for a concrete pad 6 feet from your neighbour.
You drove 3 hours to get away from it all. Your neighbour's generator disagrees. This is what public camping looks like now.
The best privately owned campgrounds — real wilderness, real owners — aren't on any app you've tried. You don't know they exist.
The campers paying $33/night all season at private campgrounds coast to coast aren't lucky.
They have a Northern Stay membership.
Here's what 30 nights of camping actually costs — three ways.
| Method | Cost per night | 30 nights | Book in advance? | Private land? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Provincial parks | $38–59 | $1,140–$1,770 + 6-month sprint | 6 months out | ✗ |
| Private campground (nightly) | $65–90 | $1,950–$2,700 | Weeks ahead | ✓ |
| Northern Stay Getaway Pass | $33.30/night | $999 flat | ✓ 60 days | ✓ 80+ parks |
The Getaway Pass covers 30 nights across all 80+ partner campgrounds. That's a per-night rate your friends will be jealous of — and they'll ask how you did it.
No points. No tiers. No complicated system. Just camping.
Pick Getaway Pass or Lifestyle. One payment. Instant access. Your membership covers you from the day you join through the season.
Log into your member portal. Browse 80+ campgrounds by province, dates, or features. Reserve your site up to 60 days ahead — no competing with the public.
Drive in. The park is expecting you. Your membership covers the site — nothing owed at check-in. Set up, breathe, and actually enjoy yourself.
And that's intentional. Northern Stay is built for a specific kind of camper.
If you recognized yourself in the left column — this membership will pay for itself before mid-July.

"24 nights last season. At the $90/night average we used to pay, that's $2,160. The Getaway Pass was $999. I don't know why we didn't do this sooner."
"I booked a lakefront site in Muskoka for a long weekend — with 3 days notice. Public parks were sold out for months. I didn't even know Northern Stay had parks there until I logged in."
"Went Lifestyle right away. We're retired and camp ~65 nights a year. Paid for itself in the first season. The idea of paying per night now feels absurd."
Private land. Online booking. $0 nightly fees. 80+ campgrounds coast to coast. The math works — all that's left is joining.
