I do feel the need to show the truth about how the name: Heart Haven, gives Justice to this campground. 💜 Since I’ve been living here for over 4 years now, I can say that every year, the owners have been the greatest couple that everyone would wish to come across. They have turn this place into a small corner of paradise: clean gravel roads, beautiful gardens and very respectful of environment ( no pesticides or harsh chemicals used) Always ready to accommodate everybody and also needing to extend their accommodation since there is high demand to enter this little Haven. And as they do make changes to bettering this place, they always work with all to do it in a smooth transition manner. And they have made plans to make a new basketball square😍 This campground is truly a family oriented 💜Haven!

This RV park is a Gem! What really sets this park apart is how clean and well-cared for everything is — from the restrooms to the flowerbeds. It’s clear that Tammy, Perry and the community take pride in keeping it beautiful. Highly recommend checking it out for long term RV stays— it’s pure magic!

Glad to be back. We have been coming here for more than 40 years and returned for the first time since COVID. Lots of improvements and positive changes. Tammy and Perry are great. We had our 1st family reunion here in years and they were so accommodating and bent over backwards to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. The place is clean and very well kept. A great place for group gatherings

What a difference! Very friendly & helpful new owners with many upgrades & reasonably priced. Beautiful spot by the river!

Shared 15a power and water amongst the lower sites had breakers tripping all weekend long….for over $50 a night this was one of the most expensive sites we had stayed at this year. When paying that much we expect to have my own 30A service and water if not full hookups altogether. Although our site was a decent size most of the sites along the river bank are stuffed in like sardines. The bathrooms offer 2 stalls only for the men and the women and with probably 200 registered guests for the long weekend there were lineups and lack of toilet paper and cleanliness all weekend long. They definitely appear to have been recently renovated but if you are taller than 5’6” you are easily looking over the wall into the neighbouring stall. This was the only place we could get into for the long weekend as our other options fell through but we will not be coming back.

Unfortunately, this campground is suffering from poor ratings under the old owners. I was desperate for a tent site for my family in the long weekend. All other places were either full, needed advanced reservation, or open to islanders only. One campground even had a ridiculous policy that on long weekends, you had to book the whole weekend! To my surprise, this campground had several sites available! The only one in the 50 km shoreline. Booking was smooth, quick and easy. The staff who greeted me was super friendly, unlike the other reviews made me expect. The newly renovated showers and toilets were clean. My daughter had a great time by the river and using the sand pit, and ball playing area. I thought a basic tent site was over priced at almost $50, and maybe it was expected in a long weekend, but most other places were charging 30 or 35 bucks. I’m not interested in a pool or tennis courts, but for the price, I expected a bit more rainbows and butterflies. Picnic tables were aplenty, but the cooking shelter was undersized considering the number of sites. Glad it wasn’t raining. The lack of a dish washing area showed a bit of a lack of social/environmental responsibility. Overall, I’d give it a 3 or 4 star, depending on purpose and age of use.

My tiny home, parking for my truck and Harley Davidson, right price, all good. The owners are friendly and proficient, great couple.

We had a lovely weekend at Heart Haven. The new owners are working very hard to make the campground a going concern again and are incredibly responsive to any issues. The new washrooms are beautiful and were kept very clean over the long weekend. If you have a unit over 20 feet be careful what spot you book. Some would not be easy to get in and out of especially if you are a bit later to arrive. If you are expecting to run things like your microwave make sure you are at a 30 amp site. They are still working on some of the power sharing issues they inherited. The pool is not operational at this time.

Nice to be by the river. Nice and close to everything in parksville. The sites aren't that private and the bathrooms are old but the showers are free and warm. We even took advantage of the pool on a hot day.
