We come here every year! It's just the perfect getaway for everyone in the family... their's a nice wide boardwalk it runs along the spectacular soft sandy beach! Tide goes way out in the Summer. Right next door is the best kids park and water park I've ever seen! Summer time their is an ice-cream stand that serves all sorts of flavors right on the property. Spots in Parksands resort are a great size. It's very clean and staff are friendly. Their's something for every to do here 🏖🛶.

We stayed at Park Sands in cabin 2 during a visit to the island. The cabin was extremely clean and well appointed with kitchen appliances and two bedrooms with comfortable beds and nice linens. Park Sands is close to the beach as well as a large park. Staff was very nice and accommodating with great communication during the rental process. We look forward to our next stay

My wife and I stayed at the resort with our RV. We were in site C02. Closest to ocean! Great boardwalk along the ocean. The site was paved and flat with full hook-ups. Very clean. Rest of site was grass. Good to set up gazebo tent if wanted. Automatic check-in. No office visit checking in or out! Due to weather we departed one day early on a 3 night stay. To our great surprise and pleasure when we got home we saw we had been e-mailed a gift certificate to visit for one night in the next year. VERY good customer service without even asking! A couple of photos below. The ocean looks much closer and panoramic than the photos. In the other direction, towards Parksville, there are about 3-4 blocks of stores, services, restaurants, fast food etc. about a 150 metre walk from our site. Great!

Loved ParkSands! We spent the month of August here and it was fantastic. The best part is the location of this resort. Not only is it mere steps to the beach, it is also very centrally located in downtown Parksville. The Tuesday night market is right across the street. We encountered a couple of minor issues and they were addressed promptly and courteously. We love it and can’t wait to come back next year. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay in one of the cabins. Very clean and spacious with everything you need. The park is quiet and of course the best thing is the beach is steps away. We lived walking when the tide was out or walking the beautiful boardwalk that follows the bay in front of Park Sands. Lots great day trips and we saw humpback whales and sea lions right in front of the park! 😎 Deb and Garry/DeWinton, AB
