With the cost of traditional housing skyrocketing, many Canadians are turning to alternative lifestyles like van life and tiny homes. As the average price of a home in Canada reached $688,000 in 2021, these options provide a more affordable and flexible way to live. Tiny homes, typically less than 400 square feet, offer an economical solution, costing between $30,000 and $100,000 depending on size and customization. Meanwhile, converting a van into a fully-functional mini home can cost between $50,000 and $130,000, but the freedom and mobility it offers are unmatched.
The growing popularity of these lifestyles is evident in places like New Brunswick, where searches for tiny homes increased by 467%. Whether parked in urban areas or nestled in rural landscapes, tiny homes and vans allow people to enjoy a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle. And for those seeking adventure on the road, Camp Kink is here to provide a welcoming stop with all the amenities you need. Don’t have your own setup yet? No problem! We offer rental options to help you experience the beauty of this lifestyle.
For those interested in joining this movement, it’s essential to understand local regulations and prepare for the challenges that come with mobile living. But for many, the benefits—financial freedom, a minimalist lifestyle, and a deeper connection to nature—make it all worthwhile.
