Our 2014-built Riverview B & B combines modern comforts with rustic charm, featuring high-speed internet, satellite TV, and scenic riverfront views. We specialize in creating memorable outdoor adventures through curated activity recommendations and local knowledge of hunting grounds, climbing routes, and cultural events like the Chetwynd International Chainsaw Carving Championship.With decades of hospitality experience, we ensure guests receive personalized service while maintaining strict safety standards for wilderness excursions. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our well-maintained facilities, including RV washhouses, playgrounds, and fire pits that cater to multi-generational travelers.

Great service. Noisy spot. Nestled in between hwy 97 and the railroad. Wifi being used up by the seasonals whom btw start their trucks up at 4:50 am to go to work in nearby Chetwynd.

Quiet and well maintained and I would give this campsite a much higher rating except it offers "Free WiFi" which seems like a good way to keep from having people complain since it's pretty much impossible to do anything on internet there. Cell service is equally as bad. Not recommended if you rely on having a connection. Or if you enjoy streaming or making phone calls

Great place to park your RV. The owners absolutely amazing! No problems of any kind. Very well maintained! I ask the owner if I could plant some flowers because we will be her for a long while and the next day he came by with a bunch of flowers from his wife's garden and planted them for me...now that's service! The laundry and showers are great, cleaned twice a day! They are easy to contact if needed and always with a smile. Only 10 to 15 minutes to town. If your in area looking for a place to park, this is it but call ahead because they are always booked.

Wifi is basically unusable during peak hours and the train can be a bit loud but the loop trail to the river is nice and maintained. Showers and laundry are a bonus.

Very friendly and easy to deal with. Showers and bathrooms are very clean and updated if not new. There is 2 washers and 2 dryers for laundry. Most of the campground has decent WiFi and service but where I am located at the edge of the campground has very little to no service. The owners are always available when needed and very polite. I give 4 stars only because of the service issue where I am.

Great service, friendly, and good value. You can tell the operator (owner?) takes both pride and care in their property. The sites are spacious enough and easily accessible. They have the cleanest bathrooms and showers I have ever seen! Free wifi as well. I only give 4 starts vs 5 because I prefer a little treed privacy between sites. Had a 24' trailer.
