Georgia makes a Trip to the Springs RV Resort While John was away, Mary Smith (the owner) invited me to come out and see what the Springs RV Resort at Harrison Hot Springs, had to offer. With RV lots still available, Mary thought the John Lovelace Team would be a great way to get the word out. So I headed out, lickety-split! I was 10 minutes early for my appointment with the lovely Mary Smith and needing a washroom break, I was greeted by one of the Resort hosts who kindly showed me the way. Now brace yourself... I have never been in a public washroom with heated floors and finishes worthy of a high end hotel! I could have lived in there! The rest of my visit to The Springs RV Resort was one visual pleasure after another. You could see and hear the love that Mary and her team have put into the park! Absolute 5 star quality in the west coast/craftsman style buildings... beautifully landscaped using rocks from the local quarry, swimming pool, hot tub, games area, fireplaces... the list goes on and on. When we stopped at the children s play area, I spotted the original horse carousel from the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver! The day was complete! Being a bit of a romantic... It takes a special person to lovingly preserve pieces from the past and that is something money cannot buy. I would be proud to call The Springs RV Resort my home away from home and I know you would too! Take a drive; Mary and her team would love to see you!

springs rv resort harrison hot spring, b.c. About The Springs RV Resort at Harrison is a premier recreational Resort in Harrison Hot Springs. Our seven-and-a-half acre resort is home for 142 RV guests and owners. While they continue to serve daily and seasonal customers,they are unique in also providing an opportunity for RV lot ownership, so every weekend can be a vacation! History The resort s close proximity to the Metro Vancouver area is very appealing to those that want to escape the city without a long drive. The family and pet friendly, community atmosphere of the resort evokes a feeling of belonging, where relationships and connections are made. The Springs, formerly known as Bigfoot Campground, has been part of the Harrison Hot Springs community for over thirty years. It originally opened as a campground and adopted the name of the local legendary forest creature, the mighty Bigfoot. It soon became a landmark destination where families escaped their busy city lives to enjoy camping amongst the majestic cedars while having all the activities of a lakeside beach resort and marina at their doorstep. It is their long history and thriving community of seasonal RV ers that have truly shaped the spirit and vision of their new Springs RV Resort at Harrison and their current offering of permanent fractional ownership of this wonderful resort.

What People Say about us... The summer of 2013... was the most relaxing summer I have had since we had children. As far as I am concerned The Springs is the Lower Mainland s best kept secret. The amenities rock. I have one child who is half mermaid and another who never wants to be at the pool for more than 45 minutes, and at the Springs, that s OK. I can stay with one child at the pool and my other child can leave the pool, play Foosball, ping pong or ride a bicycle in a safe no-speed zone environment. Everyone, and I do mean everyone we have met at The Springs are friendly, helpful and neighbourly. I have never seen such community spirit, it s simply wonderful. Harrison is my happy place. -- Schonna & Eric We signed up as seasonal renters... but after a month, we got to know people and as the facilities were completed, we decided we just had to own. We purchased a lot and have been so happy with our decision ever since. There is always something going on if you want to participate. If you d rather relax, then that s easy too. The pool and amenities building are spa-like and kept spotless. -- Al & Laura We had so much fun at your resort... and we were so impressed with how beautiful and clean it was. All of the buildings/amenities were top quality and the spa like bathroom was amazing. Our boys made friends right away and it was the first time that they were allowed to just go off on their own, ride their bikes and play with their friends without us hovering over them. They had a blast. They already asked us when we would come back. We will definitely come again! -- Katie & Brad John Lovelace Team p.5
