Weekdays from Scratch - Tales of the Homemade Life at Springs RV Resort

Great blogpost from Weekdays from Scratch .......



          It's no secret that for a while now our family has been lusting after own own little slice of paradise- a home away from home- a get away of sorts. In Vancouver and surrounding area the real estate market is fierce and even recreational properties in our budget are difficult to come by. So when we were offered a weekend out in Harrison Hot Springs at the Springs RV Resort we of course jumped at the chance. We are always game for a new adventure!



          When we pulled into the resort we were greeted by the ever friendly Natalie and her staff- they introduced us to the resort- explaining the ins and outs as well as showing us the way to our home for the weekend. Being experienced tenters we have never really considered Rving before- we are pretty happy with our nomadic and compact way of travelling- Our in-laws are RVers and we have always been curious about the appeal of RVing- more glamping than camping! When we opened the door to our RV for the weekend- in an instant- I understood- a queen bed, flush toilet and running hot and cold water-  all the amenities of home!




        Springs RV Resort takes a really unique approach to the traditional RV resort- complete with beautiful wooden decks and "shabbins" at the back of each lot. In addition to being beautifully laid out the resort really caters to families of all ages- there were many multi- generational family groupings that we encountered over the weekend. Grandparents with their children and grandchildren- everyone together having a good time. During our time at the resort we participated in a number of events designed for the younger crowd- arts and crafts on Saturday morning as well as an awesome animal encounter with the folks from Urban Safari Rescue.





          When we weren't busy hanging with giant tarantulas and snakes there was plenty for us to do- in spite of the rain we hit the pool and hot tub at the Whistler style kid's clubhouse- which of course no one wanted to leave! The feeling of family permeates everything at Springs RV Resort- from Friday night burgers to movie night and Saturday morning coffee- this is a place to be social- a real community of weekenders. More of a luxury resort than your average trailer park!



           Springs RV Resort offers so many different types of escapes- from overnight rentals, seasonal leases to sites for purchase- making the dream of affordable recreational property a reality for many folks. We enjoyed our getaway from the city- exploring a corner of B.C. we had yet to visit- we had no idea that such a place existed only a 90 minute drive from downtown Vancouver! Many thanks to the owners and staff of Springs RV Resort for our wonderful weekend- we can't wait to make a return visit!

North Shore Mama Visits Springs RV Resort

Hear what North Shore Mama has to say about Family Vacations at the Springs RV Resort in Harrison Hot Springs, B.C.

Not many things beat summertime in British Columbia.  We love being home in Vancouver for the summer months and, instead of going away someplace tropical (as many do) we prefer to vacation locally in July and August.  The weather is usually so good and we are fortunate to have all these awesome staycation spots within driving distance from Vancouver.

One such spot is Harrison Hot Springs.  About 1.5 hours by car from Vancouver, Harrison Hot Springs is such a great family holiday destination.  We kicked off our summer there this year, staying at Springs RV Resort.
Springs RV Resort is a unique idea where you actually buy a lot within the resort to host your RV.  It is a great alternative to owning a cottage, especially in Vancouver (and surrounding areas) where we all know owning isn’t always within reach.  At Springs RV, you own land at a really great price and still have the opportunity to get out of the city with your family.  To find out more about owning at Springs RV Resort, click here.

As you can see by the photos above, the resort itself is immaculately maintained and just beautiful!   Our girls had SUCH a great time playing in the playground and splashing in the family pool.

In addition to all the fun to be had on the resort grounds themselves, at Springs RV Resort, we were about a 4 minute drive to the lake and beach in the town of Harrison Hot Springs where we strolled, lounged, ate ice cream and played by/in the lake.

I totally fell in love with Harrison Hot Springs as a family holiday spot! It was hot and sunny and the days seemed to linger perfectly into the warm evenings.

If you have been dreaming of a summer cabin, but have felt discouraged by the BC real estate market, you should definitely look into the idea of becoming part of the Springs RV Resort community.

Family Travel: Springs RV Resort (Harrison Hot Springs)

Listen to what Bits of Bee is saying about Springs RV Resort......

Our family loves to explore local travel destinations, and Harrison Hot Springs has always been at the top of our list of family favourite getaways. And while we’ve always vacationed at the same resort in years past, this year we were invited to try something a little different – a weekend stay at Springs RV Resort.

I had never stayed in an RV, and had preconceived notions of what an RV park would have to offer as a travel destination, but I kept an open mind and was excited to explore my favourite BC spot from a new perspective.

When we arrived at the resort, I was in awe. As we drove into the gates, I realized that this wasn’t your average trailer park, this was a luxury retreat – complete with a plethora of kid-friendly amenities and family activities.

When we pulled up to our site, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the grounds – each site was well cared for and carefully landscaped, and each featured its own unique, custom-built deck made of rough-cut timber, and cedar shake roofed gazebos with outdoor kitchens. Each site also featured a shabin (a shed-cabin!) with built-in bunk beds for the kids. The shabin was definitely a highlight for my little ones who spent hours playing in their own little fortress.

While we had originally planned on spending most of our weekend enjoying the Sasquatch Festival in the lakeside village of Harrison Hot Springs, we found that there was just so much to do in our own little RV community, so we opted for outdoor activities that were a bit closer to home base.

Steps from our door were some lovely forested trails, perfect for a family stroll on a hot Summer’s day.

With record-high temperatures, we also loved splashing in the beautiful pools.

And after dinner, our kids loved playing on the treed playground, featuring an antique carousel (originally from The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, a true heritage piece).

We quickly learned that there was so much more to do at Springs RV Resort than just glamping in an RV – it’s no wonder they’ve received recognition as one of the top RV resorts in North America!

There were so many great things to love about this resort, including:

• Brand new three-storey clubhouse
• New adult pool and over-sized hot tub
• Large heated family pool with hot tub
• Spa-like bathrooms with heated tile floors
• 5 outdoor community fireplaces
• Two big screen TV areas
• Library with fireplace
• Games room – darts, pool, ping pong, foosball
• Stone and cedar social pavilion for BBQ’s and dances
• Laundry Room
• Large treed playground
• 1930’s Antique Carousel
• Walking trails & dog walk
• Free Wi-Fi & Shaw Hotspots

But what I loved most of all was the sense of community that I felt while living amongst the people who call this unique and special place their Summer home. People waved as we passed them by, and there were many family-friendly events and activities designed to unite the people of Springs RV Resort, including outdoor movies, community BBQs, and kids’ crafts.
