Seal Bay RV Park - Separated from the main area by trees, two lovely tenting spots are side by side in this photo.

I stayed at Seal Bay on a busy, long weekend Friday night and I LOVED IT. Even though the place was…read morepacked to the rafters, (with more RV's than I have ever seen in my life) it was quiet, peaceful and restful. The campground is very well laid out - there was a lot of space for tenting, and one of my favorite things ever - each tenting spot had a raised square that was leveled off so that the tenter was not sleeping on an incline, or rocks or the like. Also, each tenting site had its own running water! There were also showers and really, the loveliest bathrooms I have ever seen at a campsite. Clean, not smelly, and attached to a gorgeous wooden hall that had *two* built in fireplaces, and ample space for a party, if one were in the mood for that. This campground also has laundry facilities, wood for purchase for burning in the fire pits, (I suppose most campgrounds have that, but anyway, it gets *delivered* to your site!) and wonderfully friendly staff. It is situated on about 60 acres of privately owned land, 20 acres of which are dedicated to camping, in a relatively quiet area near a winery ;) I think we were exceptionally lucky to get a couple of tenting spots there on a long weekend, as it was very full, but mostly of rv's. I suspect it is booked much in advance, so I would recommend making reservations. I would not hesitate to go back to this place.

The hosts kindly supplied us with firewood for our group happy hour. We will certainly return for the terrific service and ambiance of this magic place.

My husband and I stayed two nights with our son and his family and at $1400 you would hope to at least have a good night's sleep but those who were on the pull-out slept terribly. Definitely over-priced! We stayed Sept. 27th and 28th and on the 27th the pool was very cool and the hot tub was barely tepid, at best, to the point where we thought they were hoping no one would want to use them near the end of their season. They heated them both for the second day after it was pointed out that they were cold, especially the lack of heat in the "hot" tub. The cottage toilet is in the same area as the whirlpool tub, so if you want to use the washroom while someone is having a nice bath, or are giving kids a bath, you have to go to the public washrooms. Perhaps there could be a bit of a renovation so the toilet is separate?

If your looking for a place to party this is NOT the place for you, quiet time is 10:00 pm and it is very quiet mostly all day and night. They are very strict on who comes or goes and all visitors must leave by 10:00. Overall good stay and reasonably priced.

A typical, family friendly campground with some very lovely cabins…read more Boyfriend had been camping here for about a week when I showed up. We had a cabin booked for the following night, but car camped for one evening. When we arrived he gave me a little tour - the washrooms are very nice for campsite bathrooms, and there are even laundry machines, a book borrowing shelf, and indoor showers. The campsite is very well equipped! Quiet hours are at 10, which put a bit of a damper on things as this was a birthday celebration weekend. It was nice to have a firepit at each campsite, although the stream running through the campsite harboured swarms of mosquitoes which didn't encourage me to stay outside... The cabins were lovely. Ours had two separate wings with a shower room in between (not adjoining), a hot tub, and a barbecue. Our friends had the next cabin over, which I believe was just finishing being built, and they had a gorgeous fireplace with recliners in front of it, as well as an indoor and outdoor area to do dishes. The nicest part was that it was a 3 minute walk to 'town' so it was easy to pop over to the corner store and pick up some bits and pieces for dinner. The location alone would probably bring me back but the quiet hours etc. were a bit of a deterrent.

My husband and I camped here originally in July 2019 and had a fabulous time. The park was busy,…read morebut the maintenance was meticulous. There was even fluffy white towels in the spotless bathrooms. We did get moved from the campsite we originally booked, but moved to a better, oceafront site, without added cost to us. Fast forward to April 2024, we decide to book 2 nights, one going up Island, and another one week later going down Island. Knowing there was a chance that we may be moved sites by management, we paid $10 extra for a site guarantee. When we arrived, the park was a ghost town. It looked unkempt, with just a few over-winter trailers, and 1 other camper... Set-up in the site we reserved. We went to the office, which was closed, and called the number indicated. The owner was currently in Alberta, and told us to pick another spot. I asked for my $10 site guarantee to be refunded, and was ridiculed. Really? She asked. It's only $10, she said. But the whole point of the $10 was to guarantee our spot, I replied. No response. Later, we realized that no one had given us the code for the bathroom door, and when we texted her and asked, she ignored that as well. My husband is a chatty guy and talked to a local to ask what happened to the park between 2019 and 2024 and he said that the owner's son was originally running the place, but she fired him because he wasn't making enough profit. So there you go. The park is profit above comfort and customer service. We cancelled the second night and will never return.

Both the price and…read moreamenities are better than the two RV campgrounds on beach in Parksville and it is right beside the main community beach park where all events happen. In fact, you can get a gate key to short-cut the access the park and its sandy beaches. It has a fabulous gravelled beach walk that goes around the outside of the resort on the ocean and the estuary. We didn't use the pool or the hot tub but they seemed to be well used. The main club house had a pool table and there was an ice cream social while we were there. Also Name That Tune and karaoke. Horseshoe pits, lawn bowling, and plenty of chairs and picnic tables in the common area in front of the beach. In front is a large gravel protrusion into the ocean with lots of driftwood to build forts. Tennis and pickleball courts also appear well maintained. There are several clubhouses with bathrooms, showers, laundry and games rooms. All were extremely clean and up to date. $2 a wash and $2 to dry. One time we were camped amongst RV's with no view. Once right next to the estuary and the third time next to the estuary and with a view of the sunset over the Parksville Community Beach. This will continue to be our retreat during renovations or where we will recommend for our friends who visit.

Friendly staff and residents! I highly recommend staying here. Spotless laundry rooms, rec centers…read moreand beautiful beaches. What more can you ask for!
