The Spotlight on Riverside Resort & RV Park

Relaxed Riverside Retreat Minutes from Live Music & the Beach

Modern convenience meets rustic charm at Riverside Resort & RV Park, nestled along the Little Qualicum River and just a short stroll (under 1,200 feet!) from the shores of Qualicum Beach. This laid-back, 7-acre resort offers a peaceful home base with cozy, ground-level units—each with a private patio or porch and a fully equipped kitchen. Whether you’re road tripping with friends or escaping for a concert-filled weekend, you’ll appreciate the quiet vibe and natural beauty surrounding this hidden gem.

Why Concert-goers love it

While Qualicum may not be a major concert hub, the resort is just a quick five-minute drive into the city center where you’ll find local music venues, community performances, and seasonal events. After the show, retreat to a calm setting with no city noise—perfect for winding down. The free WiFi and tea and coffee-making facilities in every unit make late-night unwinding easy, and there's plenty of parking for those road-tripping to a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for spacious, suite-style stays and on-site fun like mini golf and pools
  • Solo travelers seeking peace after a bucket-list show
  • Couples making a romantic beach-and-music weekend
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space surrounded by nature
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

There’s an on-site convenience store for snacks and drinks—great for those late-night cravings. While there’s no full restaurant, the in-room kitchens are a huge plus for DIY meals after a show. Plus, downtown Qualicum’s cafés and eateries are just a short drive away, many offering breakfast options perfect for a slow morning after a long night.

Nightlife Options

While the resort itself is more on the chill side, it’s only minutes from local pubs and lounges in downtown Qualicum. Grab a post-show drink or catch some local live music at a nearby bar before heading back to your peaceful riverfront suite.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious units, the family-friendly atmosphere, and the beautiful natural setting. Many highlight the mini golf and water park as fun bonuses, even for adults. The resort earns praise for being clean, quiet, and well-maintained, with especially positive reviews about the friendly staff and relaxed, rustic vibe.

Areas for Improvement

The pools and water park are seasonal, so those visiting outside of summer might miss out. Some guests mention a lack of restaurant options on-site, but the in-room kitchens and local dining spots help make up for it. Early check-out at 8:00 AM may feel a bit rushed after a late night out.

The Bottom Line

For music fans looking to unwind in nature after a show, Riverside Resort & RV Park offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and serenity—just minutes from Qualicum’s beachside venues.

Liked: The facilities are amazing and so are the staff! The waterlides keep the kids entertained for hours, and the pools are lots of fun, too! There is a lifeguard at the pool to keep the kids safe and the pool clean. They also have a park and mini golf, which the kids also loved.The staff went above and beyond, if you need anything just ask the front staff and they will help you out! The front reception area is also equipped with basically anything you need, so don't worry about forgetting anything. Oh, and they have the best ice cream and pizza too!They have a variety of different rooms, which I think is great, so maybe next time we will explore other options. We will definitely be back!
