We liked this resort very much. The location is perfect, the views are outstanding, and the amenities are there. This is a great place to stop and enjoy Whistler. Bring every outdoor toy you have and get to it! If it was not for the price we would give it a ten! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is all about the location -- very easy access to Whistler Village. The hookups were modern, sites were paved, and had great views of the mountains and easy access roads. The downsides were that they charge for internet service. They offer one day, two day and your next option is for a week. Since we were staying here for 4 nights, we paid for a week's worth of service at $27!! They also charge $3/day for cable TV. Our 4 year old son enjoyed the playground but it is really geared towards even younger kids. Overall we had a nice time here and this campground served our needs well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We've stayed at this RV park many times in the past, both in winter and summer. The good news is that it is open in the winter and if you have a winterized vehicle, you can stay there while skiing. The bad news is that it's expensive (RV parks usually charge $30-35 in BC) and that the facilities, such as the washrooms, are increasingly dirty. On our most recent stay, I advised the front desk that the washrooms were "disgusting." There were clumps of hair on the shower floor and in the sinks. She told me she would have the cleaners see to it right away. Several hours later, and the following morning, nothing had changed. On a visit last winter, another RV'er we know complained and there was no response. Although there are no other RV choices in Whistler, there are two good provincial campgrounds nearby and we would stay there instead, if we didn't need to be in the town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nothing special. RV park was very clean and close to town of Whistler. We were there in late June -- the trees shed this white "cotton-like" stuff that looks like snow but is very irritating. Nice walking, biking and hiking available. Many foreign tourists in rented RV's that stay only one night so the turnover is very high - not able to make conversation with other campers at all. Main road in has lots of construction, would not want to make the drive in in the dark. Workers are very good about directing you, some tight driving but overall a beautiful drive into Whistler. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It's sad that this is the only place to stay in the whole area that has hook-ups, but it's a nice place. Roads are paved, there is a playground and there is a mini-golf course. There is a little trail around the RV park to ride your bikes, too. Sites are small and not very private, but the scenery is nice. There's even a little creek nearby. It was very cold when we went (just when ski season ended, but before the warmer weather kicked in), but we still had fun. It's very close to Whistler Village. Wish there were more places to stay in the area - it's so pricey here - $50. plus...ouch! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There aren't too many choices in this area, so you are kind of stuck with this place. It's really nice, but it's quite pricey. We had a back-in site and wished we would've got a pull-through, since it was quite difficult getting in and out. We ended up driving over some large decorative rocks to get out and scraping the undercarriage of our trailer. So my advice is get a pull-through. This is a very clean place with a nice walking/bike trail, a little pond/river nearby and a golf putting green. There's a decent store and a little lounge/games room. It's open in the winter, which is a nice option for skiiers. We stayed here in the spring, in-between seasons, but we were still charged full-price (I think the off-season at this place is a one week period!). If I could find hook-ups somewhere else in the area, I'd probably go elsewhere, but it's a nice place for anyone touring the town site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you like camping and want to travel to Whistler this is your spot. Great campground with shuttle service to and from town, even for skiers! We have stayed here during both the winter and summer and have enjoyed every stay. The tents sites are considered waterfront, on a river. And there is a small "pool" created from the river that can be used for swimming, its muddy but what would you expect in a river? the sites are fairly small, as are most RV parks. The kids enjoyed the game room and store for treats. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoyed our stay at Riverside. It was quiet and very nice. The real grass 18 hole putting golf course was very well kept and fun. It is only about a 2 minute drive from Whistler. We will come back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
