Riverbend was top-notch in almost all areas. The service was great throughout--from the booking to the time we left. The cabin was also fine: clean, and everything you could reasonably expect was provided in terms of cooking/eating utensils. Beds were fine, although the pull-out couch is only appropriate for younger children. Lots of places to run around/play/ride bikes during the... More

We had a family reunion at Riverbend Resort in July, 2012. It was a fairly large event with 68 of us (from babies to seniors) there for 3 days. From the initial contact through to the completion of the event, Heather and all the staff were pleasant, helpful and professional. Heather asked numerous times what she could do to ensure... More

We had such a great experience at the Riverbend Resort. We came into Parksville late in the evening pulling our travel trailer. There were no available campsites in town, and after driving around for a while, pulled into the driveway of Riverbend. The woman who assisted us was extremely helpful and offered us a bachelor cabin at a discounted rate,... More

We rented a Yurt for the first time and it was a great choice for accommodation. Warm and comfortable and had all the perks a hotel would offer from internet to coffee. Just a different way to enjoy your trip. Give Yurts or Tenting a try!

We found Riverbend to be well kept, a great river beach, all RV sites were full service at a reasonable price, good WIFI, super close to Parksville, Rathtravor Provincial Park and it’s ocean beach.

I reserved our campsite at Riverbend in May 2011 for our family wedding gathering in July 2011. I talked with E on the phone about a few different sites that were available at that time. We decided on one site that was larger and on the end of a row so it would be more private . It was also... More

We found the cabin to be very clean and had all the amentities that we needed - a fully equipped kitchen was great. The staff were extremely friendly and allowed us early check in due to one of our party not feeling well. Great stay!
