Walk-in tents along the Sylvia Grinnell River are where you sleep in Iqaluit, pitched on the bank where rapids come down through tundra and low rocky hills into Frobisher Bay. Summer on that river is hiking, camping, and fishing. Winter is skiing, dogsledding, and snowmobiling on the same ground.
Nunavut Parks calls Iqaluit Kuunga (Sylvia Grinnell) Territorial Park the most visited park in Nunavut. Vehicle camping is not part of the park.
No road reaches Nunavut from the rest of Canada, and none run between its communities. Transport Canada states that remote Nunavut communities rely on air service as the only year-round mode of transportation.
The nearest campervan trips are in the Northwest Territories, on the road north through Yellowknife and the Dempster, and in Yukon. Manitoba is the other neighbour, with Churchill reached by train or air, not by road. A larger RV does not change that map, because there is still no road into Nunavut.
Auyuittuq National Park
Auyuittuq National Park is Akshayuk Pass on Baffin Island, a glacier-carved fjord under rugged arctic mountains. Commercial flights run year-round to Pangnirtung and Qikiqtarjuaq. From those towns you go in by boat or snowmobile with a licensed outfitter, which Parks Canada requires, and spring and summer are the accessible window.
Parks Canada has no designated campsites in the backcountry. You camp anywhere except protected and hazard areas, and fires are not allowed.
Sirmilik National Park
Fjords and glaciers fill Sirmilik National Park on northern Baffin Island, off Pond Inlet and Arctic Bay. Parks Canada lists no facilities, services, or campgrounds in the park as of September 2026. Commercial flights run year-round to both towns, and you continue by boat or snowmobile with a licensed outfitter.
