Campground Owners Association of Canada (COANS) members receive a 10% discount at Mark’s Work Wearhouse locations on workwear, footwear, and safety gear. Members access these deals as a perk of their COANS membership to help manage costs for employee uniforms and gear. Contact our office to get your discount card mailed to you.
Partnering with Visit CardioChoc – AEDs & Defibrillators for Safety helps campgrounds take an important step in guest safety.

CardioChoc offers a range of reliable AED models, affordable options including recertified units and rental programs, and support to help you choose the right device for your campground. Placing an AED on-site shows a commitment to guest safety and peace of mind for visitors and staff alike.
Cardio Choc offers a discount and a no interest 48 month rent to own option.
Members get access to RONA’s VIPpro discount program — that means 5 % off regular-priced building supplies and materials and 10 % off regular-priced paint products on everyday purchases.
Whether you’re tackling cabin upgrades, repairing picnic shelters, maintaining washrooms, or refreshing campground buildings with a new coat of paint, these savings can stretch your maintenance and renovation budget further. With a wide range of construction materials, hardware, tools, and paint available at RONA stores and online, this benefit helps member parks keep facilities in great shape at a lower cost.
Camping Nova Scotia members benefit from our close working relationship with the Atlantic RV Dealers Association (ARVDA) — a key voice for RV manufacturers, dealers, and service providers across Atlantic Canada. This partnership helps strengthen the connection between campgrounds and the RV industry, creating opportunities for collaboration, advocacy, and shared resources that support campground success.
Through this relationship, members gain access to industry insights, cooperative marketing opportunities, and better alignment with RV tourism trends. It also helps amplify campground voices on regional issues that affect RV travellers and park operators alike, ensuring the needs of campgrounds are part of broader tourism and industry discussions.
COANS members gain access to Go RVing Canada’s Campground Tie-In Program, designed to help campgrounds grow their visibility and bookings through professional marketing support.
Participating campgrounds receive ready-to-use promotional assets, advertising materials, and branded tools to attract more RVers, plus an exclusive listing on gorving.ca and inclusion in Go RVing Canada social media promotions, connecting your business directly with thousands of active campers across Canada.
Working with the right insurance partner is essential for every campground owner. From seasonal operations and guest safety to property protection and liability coverage, campgrounds face unique risks that require specialized knowledge and tailored solutions — not one-size-fits-all policies.
That’s why COANS is proud to recommend Steers Insurance, a trusted provider with experience supporting outdoor hospitality businesses. Their team understands the campground industry and works closely with owners to ensure the right coverage is in place, offering expert guidance, responsive service, and peace of mind so you can focus on running your business with confidence.
