Park Sands Beach Resort consistently receives positive feedback, particularly from repeat guests who appreciate its central location, proximity to the beach and boardwalk, and friendly staff. While cleanliness and value are frequently cited as strengths, a single negative review highlights potential issues with customer service and responsiveness.

To whom it may concern!! Our family has been camping at this resort for the last ten years. The staff has been very helpful and accommodating to the camper’s needs. The grounds are well maintained and clean. The walkway along the beach is great to take in the sunsets and the tides. Thank you for help. Stan!!

We stayed at P14 camp ? stall for last couple years and its been nothing short of amazing. We made that camp our own created our own privacy. I like this area because its central to amenities and only a short walk to the board walk. Management always go extra mile! And p14 has enough space one 6 man tent, a 2 man tent and a gazibo that we put over our picnic table ! We put up a tarp on the one side of the gazino to create more privacy and kind of a wall. The one thing I liked about this site was that we could park our car along the side, which created more privacy, and also still had accessibility, that we could still talk to our neighbors and the people walking by. It was a really nice community. We had accessible water anytime just at back of cabin. I needed to get a hold of the office and they were available phone or text. Everybody is really friendly every time we go and we end up making friends. Park san's resort is one of the best places we've stayed as for town camping.. I mean, in all reality, who's ever heard of in town camping.. So, this is actually an amazing spot and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to travel the island and be central. Going here has become our family summer holiday hotspot! Cant wait to go back 2026!

We come here every year! It's just the perfect getaway for everyone in the family... their's a nice wide boardwalk it runs along the spectacular soft sandy beach! Tide goes way out in the Summer. Right next door is the best kids park and water park I've ever seen! Summer time their is an ice-cream stand that serves all sorts of flavors right on the property. Spots in Parksands resort are a great size. It's very clean and staff are friendly. Their's something for every to do here ??.

My wife and I stayed at the resort with our RV. We were in site C02. Closest to ocean! Great boardwalk along the ocean. The site was paved and flat with full hook-ups. Very clean. Rest of site was grass. Good to set up gazebo tent if wanted. Automatic check-in. No office visit checking in or out! Due to weather we departed one day early on a 3 night stay. To our great surprise and pleasure when we got home we saw we had been e-mailed a gift certificate to visit for one night in the next year. VERY good customer service without even asking! A couple of photos below. The ocean looks much closer and panoramic than the photos. In the other direction, towards Parksville, there are about 3-4 blocks of stores, services, restaurants, fast food etc. about a 150 metre walk from our site. Great!

Loved ParkSands! We spent the month of August here and it was fantastic. The best part is the location of this resort. Not only is it mere steps to the beach, it is also very centrally located in downtown Parksville. The Tuesday night market is right across the street. We encountered a couple of minor issues and they were addressed promptly and courteously. We love it and can’t wait to come back next year. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay in one of the cabins. Very clean and spacious with everything you need. The park is quiet and of course the best thing is the beach is steps away. We lived walking when the tide was out or walking the beautiful boardwalk that follows the bay in front of Park Sands. Lots great day trips and we saw humpback whales and sea lions right in front of the park! ? Deb and Garry/DeWinton, AB

We camped in our RV here and had full hookups. We stayed 5 days. Beautiful location and easy check in. We had such a great time, we loved that it felt secure and safe. So many places to explore right from our camp ground by bike. Layed on the beach watching the meteor shower and went to an amazing music fest right next door to the camp ground. The washroom Facilities have codes to get in so they felt very safe and they were well maintained. We are already booking for next year!

We spent a couple nights in cabin 6 for a short getaway. What a nice treat it was. Spacious and clean and very welcoming. Tabea was more than accommodating and very friendly . The grounds are also kept up nicely. We look forward to going back! Thank you, Tabea!

Don’t stay here. it’s a hell of a show. they insisted we book over the phone, was told we couldn’t and had to do it online. We inadvertently booked ourselves in a week later than planned. there was someone in our spot, when I went to rectify this at the office, it was closed. This was at 4pm, and another couple were also there trying to talk to them regarding a mix up. After trying the main line and both emergency numbers, we left a message which no replied to, ever. we stayed in an empty site. I went to the office again at 1030 the next morning and it was still closed. The owner replied to my wife’s email two weeks later accusing us of booking later to get a better rate and then staying a week early. I guess if someone answered the phone, or had, you know been in the office he could have resolved this situation. if 80 was a discounted rate you’d be better of staying in a parking lot.
