Osborne Bay RV Resort Charlotte Street, Crofton, BC V0R 1R0 (250) 246-4787 Why we chose here? We were recommended this place by a friend, we were going to house sit on Vancouver Island for the winter Location: Osborne Bay, about 30 minutes north of Duncan Sites: There were some nice sites high on the hill overlooking the bay, they are very close to each other. We had one on the lower side, right on the bay. The Ferry is a bit noisy but they stop before you go to sleep. We couldn't back into our site as the hook ups where on the other side, so after speaking to the owners, we just went in frontwards and jutted out! But this was a bonus as our main windows were looking out to sea. Facilities:  laundromat, washrooms, rec room - but didn't use any of them. Groceries: There is a small grocery store in town but probably best to shop before you come. Reservations: Yes Cell Coverage / WiFi: We had to go up to the office to download our email onto the iPad, there was no coverage a

We had stayed in Surrey on a previous occasion but it was too far out for a two week stay. Location: North West Vancouver, close to the Lions Gate Bridge and Park Royal Shopping Centre Sites: 205 - 15, 30 & 50 amp. The sites are very close to each other. It was fine when we had no-one next to us, but when there was we had to move our awning in a little. It is an older style park that was laid out before RV's had multiple slideouts. Nice, clean and well laid out. Facilities: pool which was empty when we were there and a good laundry. Groceries:  Asian supermarket across the road, Whole Foods is in another section of the shopping centre which takes a little longer to walk to. Walmart and Save-On foods are a 10 minute drive away. Nearest Costco is across the bridge in the City.  Reservations: Yes and we d
