Cowichan River Campground — Reviews

Had a very good stay. Grounds were nicely kept

We had a nice gravel site with a view and there were hot showers. Perfect for an overnight while travelling.

Nice folks - clean - good place to crash for the night.

most of the place is pretty run down and is permanently inhabited. no problem w that just really run down. the transient spots were nice but also right on top of each other pictures are a bit misleading that said management had no issues when we came back and dropped our tanks.

The address given was to a cul-de-sac, the telephone number not recognised; I think this is a bogus campsite. I emailed them to phone me but have received no cay

The campground is 2/3 occupied by permanent campers all year round. It doesn't have the feel of a campground. $60 for a riverside spot is not justified. No wifi, the fireplaces had garbage in them, the host was not very knowledgeable regarding questions about the campground and the surrounding area. The bathroom has an outdated non functioning dryer. One of the faucets provided dripping water only. However we made the best of it and did enjoy our stay.

Nice location of our spot right on the river. Washroom clean. Corey was very friendly on arrival with the information we required and checked in on us the next day.

No garbage or recycling anywhere near the campground part of the permanent RV park. RV park’ s garbage bins absolutely overflowing. The site would have been somewhat acceptable as it had OK sies but we should have known it was a permanent RV park. How about clearly naming it: Riverside Trailer Park and RV Campground? There are some campers who prefer not to stay in a trailer park. We left after one night out of four planned.

The campground is really nice, sites are big, électricité is good and water pressure is good. Sites have trees so good for shade, but les for Starlink! Telus coverage was perfect. Unfortunately our site didn’t have sewer but I got confused as the website shows Sites FHU.. we were able to manage for the time of our stay!

Quiet, relaxing stay.

There was many problems. The first night the swimming pool was supposed to be adults only from 7pm till 8. An elderly woman came at 7 and said ok everyone out, many children stayed in, and the others came back as the woman walked away. The second day, we went to play mini golf and it was closed, the paper they gave us said t it was open till 8, said nothing about closing at 3! So we went to the clubhouse to play pool, and another elderly woman came up and said we had to leave! The staff wanted the room. When I said that there weren’t any notices about that posted, they quickly made some up and taped them to the door, then they stood at the door to the kitchen and tried to make us feel uncomfortable! If they had informed us that they were shutting down everything but the swimming pool we could have worked with that, but the way they did it was just incredibly rude! I will definitely be contacting their head office, and describing it further detail how they treated us inappropriately

We arrived late, there was no map to find our site so we had to explore the whole campground. The bathrooms and showers need a big update. Dirty and old.

Great campground ,nice place, relax in the river , tanks!!

Grounds had some garbage and dishes strewn about and Toilet in ladies bathroom not stable but otherwise place bathroom was clean. Site was large and neighbours were friendly and quiet. Easy access near highway, close to shopping and supplies but most of all the price was very reasonable

Our site had garbage it and in the fire pit. I cleaned it all up . The washrooms were very dirty Thursday and Friday and clean Sat. The site was quiet and I loved the river. There were tents and Blankets close to the campground along the river.

Clean, quiet, good location.

Park is in a relatively good location but not an easy walk to shops and restaurants across the river from the site. The site itself could use some additional maintenance and upgrades - for examples, updating the washrooms, which look faded (circa 1980). But the price is reasonable and the toilets flush.
