Toronto Spring Camping and RV Show 2024

The Big Recreational Vehicle Show has setup in the International Centre over the February 29 to March 3, 2024 weekend with electrical connections plugged in, patio awnings up and beverages at the ready. Weather is inconsequential because the show is inside and the thousands of visitors are either campers or potential campers checking out what is available in the market, feeling good knowing that this show is produced by the Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association and some of the largest RV Dealers are here to tempt them with deals on some great models.

Luckily you don't have to order your tickets six months in advance by waking up at dawn with three computers hoping to get passes into the show. Now you can just buy tickets to the Toronto Spring Camping and RV Show online, or at the door, and enjoy the free parking at the International Centre and wander the five enormous halls of the centre which also includes a 15,000 square foot RV Parts and Camping Marketplace.

It was interesting to see the back ramp decks on a lot of units. Another trend is the second floor units with a lot of windows and more room for car, kayak and biking spaces.

Stairs to the second floor

There are also a lot of chances to enter contests like the Cash Cube above, in thus case you have to buy a trailer to get in the cube.

Campers are like boaters, their current model is just until they get the next bigger one, unless they are going for the tiny little campers because they are so cute, or get that next boat because there is a houseboat dealer at the show. And to find camp sites you can visit several that are at the show like Camp Hillbilly, Family Paradise Seasonal Resort Community and Great Blue Resorts. This show is great partly because of the large amount of camping trailers, recreational vehicles, tent trailers, van campers, pickup truck camper inserts, fifth wheels and more - from $16k to $100k plus, in one place and allowing walk throughs of the units.

Don't just get an RV, try out the luxury bus camping lifestyle.

Find booth 505 where you can enter contests, check out the RV Lifestyle, live entertainment and kids zone. You can also attend a number of seminars throughout the weekend, like the GO Power Solar - What you need to tap the sun for power in the Aviation Ballroom A/B near Hall 5.

I was checking the vendor list and some of the more interesting ones include 3 Angry Cats, Roasty Toasty Campfire Company (if you buy park wood you might want to check out this company started by a 13 year old!), Terego for camping at some unusual places like wineries and farms, Urban eBikes because I love ebikes and Cinderella Incinerating Toilets. The rest I will discover at the show.
