International hotel chains are represented in major cities, but advance booking is essential. Guest houses, bed & breakfast establishments and self-catering lodges are available throughout the country.

Grading: There is no national system of accommodation grading. Some provinces operate their own voluntary grading programmes.
Camping/Caravanning
Camping facilities in the national parks are only open from mid May until the end of September. Mobile trailers and caravans are a popular way of travelling the huge Canadian landscape.
There are different models according to the size of the accommodation and facilities required, but most have a fridge, cooker, sink, heater, fitted WC and showers. All vehicles are fitted with power steering. Petrol consumption is around 24km (15 miles) per imperial gallon (but petrol costs half as much as it does in Europe). Hiring is available to those who hold full licenses and are above the age of 25. The cost of hire can vary according to the season. High season runs from June to the end of September, and low season runs for the rest of the year.
Youth Hostels
There are youth hostels in major cities and national parks across the country.
Lodges
Remote hunting lodges are available for rent and are the ideal for fishing, hunting and hiking enthusiasts. They are fully furnished and equipped with spacious living areas and some even have spa facilities. They are a popular way to sample life in the wilderness.
Campus Accommodation
Most universities offer budget-price accommodation during the summer vacation.
