Every summer, Pathfinder Parksville comes alive with the sound of laughter and adventures. As well as the warmth of families returning to make new camping memories at Parksville. Among them is Amanda and her big family, who have turned their annual summer stay at Pathfinder Parksville into a cherished tradition.
It all started in 2023, when Amanda and her family decided to give camping a try at Pathfinder Parksville. One visit was all it took — since then, they’ve come back every year, reconnecting not only with nature but with their neighbor campers who have become friends along the way.
“They literally have everything!” Amanda’s Experience
When asked what keeps her family coming back, Amanda couldn’t say enough about the fun and the friendly atmosphere:
“They literally have everything — from a mini store, a clean bathroom WITH showers, a pool, a playground, hay rides, movie nights, a basketball court, gigantic chess, and the Englishman River! And the staff are super nice and accommodating! Such a treat! Looking forward to making this our annual spot! Wooohooo!”
From morning swims in the pool to evening movie nights under the stars, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy. The kids love the playground and hay rides, the adults appreciate the comfort and convenience, and everyone enjoys cooling off by the Englishman River just steps from the campground.
More Than a Campground, It’s A Community
At Pathfinder Parksville, it’s not just about camping, it’s about connection.
Amanda’s family, like so many others, have found a welcoming community here. Each summer, familiar faces return, waves are exchanged across campsites, and new friendships form around campfires and shared stories.
It’s this sense of belonging that makes Pathfinder Parksville feel less like a campground and more like a second home.
