Camping Select is a two-tiered system that rates both Facilities (F) and Recreation (R) for campgrounds giving visitors confidence that properties meet minimum national standards of quality. The ratings range from one to five stars and increase in half-star increments as the range and quality of facilities and services improve.

About the Program

The Camping Select rating program was introduced in 1995 in the Atlantic Provinces with the cooperation of government agencies and the campground industry. The program was developed from extensive consumer research and is designed to meet consumer expectations at various star levels. The program has been adopted by Campgrounds-Camping Canada, the national campground organization comprised of the provincial campground associations, as its national rating program.

Two-tier Rating System

In Newfoundland and Labrador, a Camping Select rating is required in order to receive a Tourist Establishment License from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation.

  • Water activities (pool, beach, wading pool, and slides)
  • Recreation activities (tennis, horseback riding, golf, horseshoes, fishing, play areas, games, and motorized activities)
