After many unforgettable trips with the family into Canada's wilderness playground, the future of the Campkin family changed forever.

"We had a great time and totally fell in love with the camping experience," says Brad Campkin, president and son of Campkin's founder, Mr. Laurie Campkin. "After plenty of discussion, my dad decided this was the business for us!"

Laurie opened CedarWoods Trailers in 1973, then changed its name to Campkin's Camping Centre in 1977. Brad became a full partner in 1988 and, upon his father's passing, assumed day-to-day operations of the business in 1991.

Today, Campkin's Camping Centre is a bustling business with a superb selection of recreation vehicles, and related parts and service products, along with one of the largest parts inventories in the entire region!

"The reason for our success is no secret," says Brad Campkin, "It's simply our dedication to customer satisfaction. Our clients are pleased with the quality of service they receive and that's why we have so much repeat business. Providing value in customer service drives everything we do!"

The camping industry is constantly changing, so Campkin's always stays on top of the latest trends. Our sales team also keep a large inventory, they ensure and offer a wide selection of camping trailers and products, at competitive prices.

Their experienced staff is another reason for Campkin's success. The sales team works with you to determine your short term and long term needs. They know you don't want to see a hundred trailers -- just the few that best suit your needs.

Campkin's moved to its present location on Highway 12 in Myrtle Station (north Whitby) in 1989. The new location provided the space for a large showroom and an ample outside display area. Campkin's also boasts a unique new service facility. Every year the store has expanded with new products and a larger inventory of parts. In fact, Campkin's has the largest parts facility in the area with a service and parts department that is open year-round. The fact is, people come to Campkin's because they're virtually assured to get what they need.
