I was here with my family over Halloween. We very much enjoyed the exiting fire work show, and the staff and community were great. Not to mention the lovely murals and fabulous mini putt. We would absolutely love to return :)

Overall our experience was pleasant, however, im not sure how the math added up at the end. I was told on Sunday our hydro bill would be 54 dollars, when we left on tuesday, it had jumped to 87 dollars...🤔 We had paid 485 to have the spot held for us when we moved in and expected 485 when we left but somehow recieved only 450...🤔 Our girls made alot of friends and had a good time, most of the front desk people were very pleasant and kind, same with the people that took care of the yards and their kids, although it would've been nice if the men's shower had been fixed in the month we had stayed. All in all, besides bad math, we made a few friends

I stayed at Riverside Resort on October 31st for our Halloween vacation, and it was wonderful! The cabin was perfect, clean, and very comfortable. Everyone at the front desk was friendly and welcoming, and the housekeeping team was incredibly helpful with everything we needed. On Halloween night, they even held a fireworks display for about 15 minutes — it was absolutely fantastic! I had such a great experience and will definitely be coming back again. :)

I recently stayed here for two nights with my family and our trailer. The Positives: Mini Golf – The course was fun and complimentary (included with the stay), which allowed us to enjoy multiple rounds. Convenience Store – Well stocked with a wide variety of food, snacks, and essentials for anything you may have forgotten at home. Staff – Every staff member we encountered was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Water Slides – A great feature that our kids thoroughly enjoyed. Family Atmosphere – The campground has a strong family-friendly environment. Children were constantly biking throughout the park, although at times it felt concerning due to vehicles backing up with kids riding behind them. Location – Situated along the ocean in Qualicum, making it easy to access nearby communities. The Negatives: Pool – Unfortunately, the pool was in very poor condition. It was extremely dirty, with visible debris floating throughout, and also uncomfortably cold despite being advertised as heated. Even after checking the following morning, it had not been cleaned and remained in the same unsanitary state. Because of this, we avoided using the pool as much as we had originally planned. Campsite Privacy – The site we were assigned offered no privacy. There were no fences, trees, or bushes separating sites, and with private cabins located in the middle of the campground, it created more of a “parking lot” atmosphere. Mini Golf Maintenance – While enjoyable, the course is in need of upkeep (for example, many lights were not functioning, leaving some holes in complete darkness). Overall Impression: Our family still made the best of our stay, but given the price point, we felt the experience did not reflect good value. Unfortunately, we would not plan to return.

We had a fun stay here! We brought our camper and stayed in the site closest to the pool. We had a surprising amount of privacy for how open the site seemed. The sweet neighbour (a resident??) brought us fresh baked cookies each day! Even though it was overcast and chilly our kids spent 6-8 hours in the pool each day of our stay. The lifeguards were fun! They did a great job at enforcing rules without shaming the kids. As a parent, I really appreciated that balance. We went to the store multiple times per day, it’s well stocked and not over priced as some campground convenience stores can be. We drove to the beach for sunset each night and it was STUNNING. QB has great ocean beach combing. Showers were good and hot. Would just suggest more hooks in all the shower areas or shelving? We will return 🙂 would love to check out the cabins next time.

We love this resort and it's great for families with younger kids. However, it's become way to pricey in the last 2 years with covid. I guess because people were not traveling out of country demand went up. It's become too expensive for what you get.

Managers kept my cash deposit when I did not move in even though I clearly had a receit stating it was fully refundable. Would not supply owners information and swore at us repeatedly.

A well established resort for camping, RVs, and accommodation units to suit everyone. Lots to do for children! Best of all is the awesome trails to take your furrids, with a large river which offers swimming. Abs fantastic. The walks are spectacular!

The pool was so much fun I just kept going on the water slide over and over again! The pool is also heated which is nice later in the evening. Having a playground, a pool and a convenience store with ice cream and kid snacks is great for a family with younger kids. And an outdoor public barbecue! Great customer service and a babysitter

Very wishing Quaint family experience. Close to the beach and River. They have waterslides too.
