Spoiler alert: Yes—and your campground probably is, too.
Cue the dramatic news music: “BREAKING—Canadians may not come south this winter!”
Hold up. Put down the maple syrup and back away from the panic button.
If you’re a campground owner hearing whispers about Canadian snowbirds abandoning their winter migration like it’s some RV apocalypse, let’s set the record straight. At Campground Accounting, we’re not just tax pros—we’re campground enthusiasts and truth-tellers who love cutting through noise with a little logic, a little data, and a whole lot of calm.
So before you cancel your winter marketing plan and start offering free firewood in a frenzy, let’s breathe—and look at what’s really going on.
Let’s start with the obvious: Canada still gets freezing cold in the winter.
And just last weekend, we chatted with snowbirds from Quebec who confirmed—without hesitation—that they’ll be back when the frost returns.
Their travel patterns haven’t changed.
They're just…home right now. Why? Because it’s summer. That’s what Canadians do. They escape in winter, they return in summer. Always have. Still do.
Yes, Canadian campgrounds are busy—but that's not some new national rebellion against Arizona and Florida. That’s just seasonality. The news loves drama. “Canadians stay home!” makes a better headline than “Things are normal and people still love sunshine.”
So let’s not spiral. Let’s plan.
If you're running a campground, here’s what you should actually be doing:
At Campground Accounting, we help owners like you find clarity when chaos hits. We’re not here for clickbait—we’re here to help you make smart, measured decisions that support long-term growth and peace of mind.
This whole "Canadians aren’t coming back" panic?
We’re calling it: media noise.
Your business model is still solid.
The weather will change, snow will fall, and RVs will roll back into your sites just like they have for decades.
So don’t get rattled. Get ready.
Because when the frost hits the maple leaves, your northern neighbors will once again be heading for sunshine, Wi-Fi, and warm hospitality—hopefully yours.
