TORONTO, May 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Canada's camping season gets underway, enthusiasts will enjoy some of the world's most breathtaking nature reserves and vast natural areas. With the camping industry projected to generate $331 million in revenue this year, InsureMyTrip.ca shares top tips for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Important safety recommendations for campers:
Article content
Fire Observance – In dry conditions, observe fire bans and keep surroundings clean to prevent wildfires. Protection from Poisonous Plants – If hiking in areas with potential plant hazards, wear protective clothing and carry treatments such as calamine lotion. High Altitude Health Precautions – Stay hydrated. Watch for symptoms of altitude sickness such as headaches and nausea. Emergency Medical Travel Insurance – If you travel to another province, territory or country for camping, your Canadian government health insurance plan may only partially protect you. An all-inclusive policy is a great way to protect you from costly medical emergencies and unexpected travel-related issues such as trip cancellations/interruptions and lost/delayed baggage.
Understand travel insurance for campers:
Travel insurance helps cover various unexpected problems that may occur while camping.
Campsite Reservation Fees – Prepaid, non-refundable campsite reservations are covered by insurance. Campervan/RV Rental Fees – Similar coverage applies to his pre-booked, non-refundable RV rental fees.

Travel trouble – Trip cancellations or interruptions due to accidents, breakdowns or road closures may also be covered. Natural Disasters – Depending on your policy and travel advisories, you may also be covered if your campsite becomes uninhabitable due to a natural disaster.
It is very important that you read and understand carefully what the policy covers and what it does not cover, and if you have any questions, InsureMyTrip's licensed customer care representatives will guide you through the plan so that you can better understand what you are buying.
Our travel insurance experts are available for interviews about how insurance can protect you from the unexpected while camping.
