  Great access to beach and playground. Good size sites. Bathroom upkeep could be better.

  We made a reservation and when we arrived someone was in our spot so they put us in an upgraded spot. Great but I said I don't want to have to move again so I want assurance that we had the new spot for the entire time. I was assured we would have the spot and my offer to pay the difference for the new spot was refused. The new spot was great, but during dinner security showed up and said we had to move right now as people with a reservation for our new spot were waiting to check in. We were gracious and moved but learned that a reservation means nothing and their word means nothing. Nice location but too flaky and the cheaper sites are too close to the highway and noisy. Great first night but lousy second night.

  Great location! Totally central to amenities and attractions. Right at the beach and next door to the huge community park with a kids playground. There's food trucks and special events in the summer right next door. Make sure you reserve for July and August as its super busy. Sites are serviced and they have showers for a loonie and laundry facilities.

  I've stayed here for the last 3 years, and always paid the extra for an amazing beach front site - however I won't be returning. The park is under new management this year and in their wisdom they decided to grant licence to an ice cream truck which they parked right infront of my spot, it blocked the view I paid for, the truck staff were always swearing (loudly, often and in front of my kids), and the public were always coming in to buy ice creams, standing in front of our view spot, and letting their dogs off leash who would relieve themselves ON our spot. NOT WORTH THE EXTRA $$$. The management refused to move the ruck on and tried to make it better by putting up a barrier to keep people off our site, but it came down that night and did not go back up again the next day. Also despite their brochure saying it has night security in July and August - they do not anymore! They also did not lock the gate at night as they say they do - not once while we were there - when your spot is by the gate, then this is a problem, you have to hide all your belongings at night (barbecue/cooler etc...). Don't waste your money, there are other more private sites in Parksville I will be checking out now instead.

  Concrete pad rv sites are great. Paved so there's little dust.. location is the best you can imagine.. but there have been cars coming and going at all times of night.. a guy idled his diesel for over an hour one day.. there is no gate... also limited parking as not all spots fit tow vehicles.. they need to limit cars to one per site.
