Best Campground in Canada

E	Erin White on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best facility for families that i have seen in a long time. The round about set up is awesome, the paved roads for the kids to ride bikes was a huge hit. Our family loved that there was something for each of us, from tenting to cabins we had so much choice. The river beach area is phenomenal, love that it is private to the resort. I found the staff to be so friendly, housekeepers to the front office everyone was very nice and accommodating. I think this place should have more than 2 stars as its the perfect beach and river venue around
P	Paul McNeill on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We stayed here for a few days, lovely campsite, very clean, well laid out and nice clean washrooms. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Steps down to beach are a little tricky for younger kids (5 and under) but maybe they'll be upgraded in time to come. Wifi is patchy, but seems stronger on IOS devices. I was able to stream on my ipad with no buffering, but the firestick on our TV was buffering every 20 seconds. Minor issue. Definitely a site we would return to.
J	John Charters on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stayed in the yurt here when visiting grandchildren. Was very clean and spacious.
S	Shannon Schubert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The river is beautiful and the location is great. We stayed in a "luxury" yurt that was in desperate need of an update. The bed and hide-a-bed were both very old, saggy, and squeaky. The kitchen was missing key items (usable pot, broken stove). The entire place need a thorough clean - there were many cobwebs and under the bed was very dusty. This could have been much better with proper maintenance.
A	Alysha Clay on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely loved renting a cabin here they were able to take our reservation with short notice and we even came earlier then check in was and they had the cabin ready. So quiet even though the main road is close by. You get free access to the river and beach there. The price was also super great! I will 100% be coming back to stay when I visit Parksville again.
K	KJ Picketts on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We loved the bachelor cabin! It was perfect for two people, but could accommodate more with the futon. It's got a fridge, stovetop, and dishes, as well as a full bathroom and all bedding and towels, so all you need is yourself and the food you bring. Loved the smell of the real log cabin, and really appreciated the cleanliness. The little beach beside the river is nice and would be a great spot to swim or fish from. We would love to come back and stay longer when we have the opportunity as there's lots to do in this gorgeous area. Big thanks to the kind staff for being accommodating to our needs!
H	Hildar Peereboom on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Edit: we talked to Heather the owner of Riverbend. She assured us that our past interactions with other staff were unfortunate and that she was taking care of our issues. It turns out that due to the extreme hot weather BC has been experiencing, bats had snuck into the roof. Hopefully they will not come back now. The model RV park unit was clean, beach access was adequate, beach itself is very nice. Good location to amenities nearby (like mini golf, rathtrevor, downtown). Roads are quiet and one way inside the resort which is a bonus with little kids. However we did find parts of the playground unsafe (bolt and nut loose on one slide, wooden ladder rung broken on another playground, a second slide incorrectly attached -too short and too steep to safely slide down). Management knows and is working on upgrading the playground (they explained some parts had been vandalized earlier and they have fixed the swings). Our unit was missing a cutting board, and we didn't have some items such as salt, pepper, cookie sheet, baking pan, which would have made cooking easier. Other things to consider: lots of tree coverage, open area near playground for games. There is an eating area and BBQ beside playground so it is easy to cook and watch kids. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
