How to Get an RV to Victoria BC
Summer months and holidays are some of the best times to visit family and friends, especially on Vancouver Island! And when it comes to accommodations, many family members know that motorhomes are the way to go. Bringing an RV and reserving a space in a park keeps your amenities, belongings, and personalized space with you. It also means no hotel fees, no parking in driveways or along curbs, no sleeping on couches or guest beds, and no sharing groceries — or bathrooms.

The Grand Opening
For those of you who missed it, our Salish Seaside RV Haven Opening Ceremony was a wonderful day in the sunshine. The ceremonial opening speech was given by Mary Ann Thomas, the widow of the late Chief Andy Thomas. They were joined by local dignitaries for the ribbon cutting. It was truly touching and our hearts go out to the Thomas family and Esquimalt Nation for their loss.
Opening Ceremonies
Here at Salish Seaside RV Haven we are very excited at how quickly the final touches on the site are drawing together in the wake of our upcoming Grand Opening!

Officially Open for Business
It’s been a busy few weeks! I want to start by thanking all our wonderful guests to date, it’s been fantastic getting to know some of you and putting faces to the many names! The main amenities building is slowly coming along and we’re looking at a mid November completion date (for the downstairs). Thank you all for your patience with this beast. As you would expect, it has gone way over time and budget! The lamp-posts are in and Wi-Fi will be going up and functioning by this time next week.
Construction Update #4
As of today the concrete pads are all poured, pedestals are in, services to each pad are complete. BC Hydro have finally agreed to hook us up to mains power on Tuesday next week! Much of the sod has been laid and paving of the entrance driveway and perimeter road in the park is underway for completion today. The stone sitting wall is constructed around the perimeter and it looks fantastic! There are lots of little jobs, signs, lamp-posts, security cameras and Wi-Fi to get hooked up but this week will mark the end of the major construction activities.
Construction Update #3
The project is coming along nicely and completion is set for September 2017. The first 14 pads are poured. We tested the pads with a 45'Class A single axle motor coach and jacked it up on the pads. All went well. The second story is going on the amenity building. We should have the ground floor washrooms shower and laundry done by Sept 1 but the meeting room upstairs may not be finished.
Construction Update
The old west bay has been completely razed and the two First Nations are starting from scratch to rebuild it. We are reducing the number of pads to 36, they are now truly big rig friendly, building a brand new amenity building with upstairs meeting room with decks and fireplace, supplying 50 amp service, and best of all the wi-fi is going to work...
