We love Pacific Playgrounds! It has a pool, access to a clean flowing river that you can tube down and its a 5 minute walk to the seashore. There are docks for the kids to fish off and a little general store that sells many flavours of yummy ice cream and other necessities. It is a wonderful place for kids.... More

I am in the process of booking our twelfth trip to Pacific Playgrounds. We return to the Island every fall from Montana for a six week fishing vacation in an RV site and again in the winter when I book a cabin for a week of steelhead fishing. For us as 50 plus year RV veterans who have camped throughout... More

We have been going there for years but enough is enough. Pool gets cloudy, poor maintanance overall. 2 summers ago huge wasp nest was allowed to grow in tree next to playground. Pool is shut down more often than open. My parents have had a pool for years, you have be on top of a chemical balancing act to maintain... More

Filthy place! Spiders in the bed. Broken tile held together with masking tape in buggy shower. Kitchen unimaginably dirty. Furniture smelled horrible; couldn't sit on anything but wooden kitchen chairs. TV didn’t work. FILTHY PLACE! Our two tiny dogs left scratching and smelling so bad we had to give them flea baths at our next stop.

On behalf of the hard working staff at Pacific Playgrounds I must object to this review as it is both unjust and unfair. If a member of the travelling public enters an accommodation that they feel is not clean or well maintained perhaps a more appropriate action is to bring it to the attention of the staff immediately in order...

Family of 5 spent 3 days here in March 2012. There was one glitch that we dealt with. The office was closed when we arrived later in the evening and we found that we were locked out of the cabin. The key was not left with the camp hosts so a handyman opened the door for us and we picked... More

Booked a cabin a month in advance, called the day before to see if we could check in early only to find out that we had no reservation. When asked about this they said they would look into it and call me back. The following morning recieved a call stating that they never recieved a deposit, I guess my credit... More

We regret that anybody should experience the disappointment of last minute changes to their holiday plans. It is advisable to be certain that the correct contact information is provided when booking online. If an email confirmation is promised and not received within the specified time it is avisable to contact the property right away to find out why. In most... More

We've been going for years. But this will be our last. The sites are very small and even though you give a $50 deposit one year in advance you will not get the site you put a deposit on. Many trailers are asked to move at some point during their stay, which is quite an inconvenience. The security isn't good... More

Campsite location is nice but they have thieves. If you are planning to stay here make sure you lock up the bikes and bring all coolers inside at night and lock your RV and vehicles. Thieves will be going through your stuff at night. We were told by staff that they have had some problems when we checked in. After... More

Pity the $$$ spent on their website and brochures weren't directed to the actual goods. Fortunately just spent 2 nights at this highly overcrowded and over-rated RV Park & Marina in Black Creek on Vancouver Island. RV sites are not graded, difficult to open your awnings without running into your neighbour's RV. The only decent sites are across from the... More
