Whether you’re an experienced camper or heading out on your very first camping trip, you’re welcome around our campfire.
The Vancouver Camping Club exists to make camping more accessible, less intimidating, and a lot more social. Our goal is simple: remove the barriers that keep people from getting outdoors.
Solo campers are especially encouraged to join. We’re building a welcoming community where it’s easy to meet new people, learn new skills, and enjoy the outdoors together.

🎒 Club Gear Inventory
One of the biggest barriers to camping is simply not having the equipment.
Our growing Club Gear Inventory helps remove that barrier by giving members the opportunity to try quality gear before investing in their own.
Available equipment currently includes:
• Ground Tents
• Sleeping Bags
• Air Mattresses & Sleeping Pads
• Camping Chairs & Furniture
• Battery Power Stations
• Hammock Tent Systems
• Tentsile Tree Tents
• Other camping essentials
Whether you’re trying camping for the very first time or want to experience premium equipment before buying your own, we’ve got you covered.
All proceeds from the Club Gear Inventory are reinvested into maintaining, replacing and expanding our shared equipment so more people can enjoy the outdoors.
If you’d like to reserve equipment, just send me a message before the trip. Quantities are limited.
