Riverside Resort & RV Park
A landmark on Vancouver Island, Riverside Resort & RV Park beckons travelers into a world of rustic charm and adventure. Positioned was in the picturesque town of Qualicum Beach, the property is a stone's throw from Cathedral Grove, home to some of the largest and most ancient trees in North America. The arrival experience is nothing short of enchanting; guests are greeted by the warm hues of wood accents in the lobby, a cleverly arranged welcoming area accentuated by local art that pays homage to the natural beauty surrounding the resort. Signature features greet you at every turn, from the inviting common areas to the flourishing gardens that invite exploration. The relaxed elegance continues throughout the property, including open living rooms with comfortable furniture, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a selection of spacious accommodations designed for both relaxation and adventure, boasting views of the serene grounds or sparkling pools.

Just a short drive away lies Hamilton Marsh and Milner Gardens and Woodland, both essential for exploring Vancouver Island's natural beauty. For family-oriented fun, guests can enjoy Horne Lake Caves, offering self-guided tours into enchanting underground worlds, or spend an afternoon at the expansive water park and mini-golf course right on the resort grounds. Rejuvenate your spirit with traditional horseback rides at Barnyard & Trail Rides, or wander through nearby downtown Qualicum Beach, known for its charming boutiques and cozy cafes. Convenient transportation is available via the bus stop at the corner of Memorial Avenue and West Island Highway, and for those arriving by air, Comox Valley Airport is just a picturesque 45-minute drive away.
