Parksville Lake RV Campground

The creek was so beautiful and relaxing, we didn’t feel the need to venture out. We were just there for the weekend to recharge after a hard work week. Boy, did it do the trick! This campground is one of our favorites. We will be back soon!

Wonderfully quiet and just enough stream noise. Clean and inviting.

Beautiful small campground.
Very quiet and relaxing. Every single campsite is nice. We camped on the creek and really enjoyed the sound of water rushing over the rocks. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Great

Camp host Nancy and husband were excellent. Veri helpful and spotless

Very clean, very nice. The couple who host this camp site could not have been nicer to me and my family. They were very kind and helpful. The campground was clean and quiet.

We love it here! Come several times a year. We learned a valuable lesson this time. Buy several big fire extinguishers. Those little white ones do NOTHING and it takes emergency services a long time to get there. We tried everything we could to help a fellow camper put out a fire in his camper but ended up just watching it burn. Thank goodness everyone was safe!

Very nice small campground. About 15 sites, all with electric. Central water spigots were easily accessible. One small bathhouse with only one shower. Clean, but could have used a coat of paint. Lots of wildflowers, especially wild Iris, Solomon's seal, and Trilliums. Two pull through sites, all the rest were back in. Poison Ivy EVERYWHERE!

If Parksville had water hookups in each campsite, I would give it 5 stars. But, for a short stay of 3 or 4 nights, not having water hookups in each site is not much of an issue, if you have a fresh water tank and a pump in your rig! Parksville is beautiful! It's a smaller campground with maybe 20 campsites, and for us, that's a plus! We've camped there twice, and both times found the other campers to be very considerate, friendly, helpful, and quiet! Based on our two experiences, it seems that most folks are at retirement age roughly, so there have been few screaming kids or barking dogs! The kids we've encountered at Parksville have been considerate and well mannered. We have a 32' 5th wheel and its challenging but doable backing into the sites, and all but a couple are back ins. If you're experienced at backing, you can do it! The sites themselves are of a good size. I've seen a couple of larger motorhomes in them. Some sites are a bit close together for our liking, but they're laid out so that you still have some privacy. Others sites are spaced well apart with lots of trees between you. And, if you get one of the sites beside the beautiful creek that runs through Parksville, you'll love sleeping with your windows open as the creek sings you to sleep. And, if you are able to hike about a 4 mile round trip over fairly easy terrain, you MUST see Benton Falls! Oh, and you're maybe a mile from the boat ramp into Parksville Lake, and I did see one site in the campground with a boat parked in it as well as their pull behind and their pickup truck. Overall, Parksville is our favorite place to camp, but you'll have to book your reservation well ahead because it's a favorite of many other nature lovers who have discovered it too!
