Riverhaven RV Park & Motel
Overview
Riverhaven RV Park & Motel offers a peaceful and scenic retreat nestled along the banks of the Similkameen River in the historic community of Hedley, BC. This park provides a classic, natural camping experience where the soothing sound of flowing water and the sight of rugged mountain peaks create a relaxing atmosphere for every guest. It serves as an excellent gateway for travelers exploring the southern interior, offering a blend of traditional RV sites and motel accommodations to suit various travel styles and needs.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the heart of the Similkameen Valley, the park is surrounded by the dramatic cliffs and unique arid landscapes that define this region of British Columbia. Its prime position right on the riverbank provides guests with direct access to the water, perfect for cooling off or enjoying a quiet morning of birdwatching. The park is conveniently located along Highway 3, also known as the Crowsnest Highway, making it a perfect stopping point for those journeying between the Okanagan and the coast.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility provides essential comforts to ensure a stress-free stay, including full hookup sites equipped with 30-amp power, water, and sewer connections. For guests who prefer a more rustic experience without sacrificing cleanliness, the park features well-maintained washrooms, hot showers, and on-site laundry facilities. Most sites are outfitted with individual picnic tables and fire pits, allowing for traditional campfire evenings under the stars. The abundance of mature trees throughout the property provides significant shade during the warm summer months.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
History buffs will appreciate the proximity to the Mascot Mine, where guided tours offer a fascinating look into the gold mining heritage of the area. The surrounding landscape is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for fly fishing, gold panning, and hiking through local trails. A short drive leads to the organic orchards of Keremeos and the various boutique wineries of the valley, providing travelers with a chance to sample the world-class produce and wines the region is famous for.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal match for nature lovers and anglers seeking a quiet, authentic base directly on the water. It appeals specifically to RVers who prefer the charm of a smaller, family-operated park over the bustle of a large commercial resort. Because the property also features comfortable motel rooms, it is a fantastic choice for groups traveling together where some members may not have their own rig, ensuring everyone can enjoy the riverfront experience together.

This place is a little gem. It's clean, real green lawns, great wifi, hot showers, laundry (which is not a lot - the owner says we like to keep it honest). We stayed for 5 days as we are travelling throughout BC and needed a place with good wifi for a 4 day webinar. The owners are kind, helpful and conscious of your time here. There's so much to do for kids! A playground, badmonton, horseshoes, a ping pong table, games and the beach down by the river. With easy access. And this rv campground is not huge! A whole lot of impact in a cosy space. We'll be back.

Hidden gem! We stopped at this conveniently located site to break up our long drive and fell so in love we decided to stay an extra day. Although it’s just off a main route it feels tucked away and serene. The resort grounds are tidy and well cared for with beautiful landscaping and little bits of character like painted rocks and bird houses tucked throughout. The river offers a sandy beach a refreshing body of water to float in, soak in or admire. The hosts are exceptionally accommodating and kind. Their campsite store offers all of the essentials and more, and if there’s something you need that isn’t there they’re quick to help you obtain it conveniently. The resort is family friendly with a small playground for kids, ping pong, yard games and a dog designated area as well.

It is truly a haven! The perfect place to unplug and get away from the everyday hustle and bustle of Vancouver. It’s in a great location, well-organized, and offers plenty of amenities. The hosts are absolutely wonderful, kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. You don’t come across people like them very often anymore! Highly recommended.

Planning on just stopping for one night but ended up staying 2. This is such a wonderful little resort, I stayed in my trailer. The owner was so amazing. I would give this place a try if you are ever passing through Hedley BC. The river has a soft, sandy little beach. There’s also a very clean laundry room and showers.

A Hidden Gem with the Kindest People! We had a truly wonderful experience at Riverhaven RV Park and Motel. The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and supportive. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so genuinely cared for—they went out of their way to support us with everything we needed . The park is clean, peaceful, and beautifully situated by the river. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, whether you're camping or staying in the motel. The sense of community and warmth here made our stay extra special. You can tell that the people who run Riverhaven truly love what they do—and it shows in every detail. Thank you so much for the hospitality! We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, friendly, and heartwarming stay.
