I have stayed at the beautiful Riverside Resort several times over the years. Its located in a very convenient area close to the Qualicum river with many nature trails. Also the ocean is just a few minute walk away and a short drive to the many local cuisines and pubs. My stay here has always been an excellent experience. The reception staff are friendly and knowledgable and will help guide you to the many amenities that the Resort has to offer for short or perhaps an extended stay. I would most definitely stay at the Riverside Resort again. Thankyou to All the Wonderful Staff! Malia :)

The team at Riverside is wonderful! We had our workers stay there a few times for their shifts. The resort was very accommodating for us. The kitchenettes rooms are a HUGE bonus for having staff stay there from out of town. The location is nice and quiet. The rooms are very clean. We would recommend staying their for business or pleasure.

Riverside Resort was by far the best travel nursing accommodations I stayed at in over two years of travel nursing, the front desk and management are terrific and super friendly, the store and laundry at site is so convenient for people like me who work away from home and in the summer the pool and waterside and mini golf made it so much more fun on my days off!! Highly recommend if you’re looking to stay for work or even for a weekend getaway!! And if you love to camp they have beautiful rv sites right beside little Qualicum River ?? thank you Riverside!! You guys rock! ? ?

We have stayed here as a camper in the summer and rented a room in the winter. The staff is always amazing and very helpful. This property has everything you could want/need in regards to business or vacation stay. (We have done both) They accommadated us with our dog and 4 children. The store is stocked full of all kinds of stuff, you can get fresh made pizza, icecream or groceries for your room. The pool area in the summer is an awesome way to cool off and they even have mini golf. Hands down, this is my favorite place to stay on the island.

We stayed at Riverside Resort last summer and honestly had the best time! The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Our unit was super spacious (I think it was a 2-bedroom condo), which made our stay really comfortable. We went with our close friends and had so much fun together — the waterslide and mini golf were such a hit! One thing I really appreciated was the convenience store on-site. If you forget anything, no worries at all — they’ve got you covered! ? And can we talk about the ice cream? So good! Tons of flavors and very generous scoops for a great price. Such a nice little treat after a long, fun day. What made our stay even more stress-free was the coin-operated laundromat. Since we stayed for 7 days, having laundry available made life so much easier. We were able to go home with fresh, clean clothes and didn’t have to worry about piles of laundry afterward. Another thing we absolutely loved was that the resort is only 5 minutes away from the beach, so we enjoyed lovely evening walks after dinner while watching the beautiful sunsets. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Overall, it was such a wonderful and relaxing experience. I’d happily recommend Riverside Resort to anyone, and we’re already looking forward to coming back next summer! ?

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.
