Things To Do On A Montreal to Calgary Roadtrip

Dreaming of crossing Canada without breaking the bank? You can drive from Montreal to Calgary in an RV for as little as $1 per day with Imoova. Imoova connects travelers with relocation RVs — vehicles that rental companies need moved. For around $1/day, you get a fully-equipped RV, and some relocations include a gas reimbursement. It’s perfect if: You're flexible with your timing. You love travel, nature, and a bit of adventure. You don’t mind simple camping and planning on the go. Now let’s hit the road - here’s a scenic 2-week route that shows off some of the best of Canada between Quebec and Alberta.

RV Camping On A Budget

National & Provincial Parks: Usually ~$20–$35/night. Book ahead in summer.

Walmart or Real Canadian Superstore Parking Lots: Often free overnight (ask management first).

Boondocking: Use sites like iOverlander to find free or low-cost spots.

Download maps offline — signal gets spotty in remote areas.

Stock up on snacks, water & firewood when you see a town.

Watch for wildlife (especially in northern Ontario and Manitoba).
