HAZELMERE RV RESORT When Your Weekend Getaway Comes to You
by Dean Unger
When you first start a business, the initial inspiration and vision is sometimes not how things turn out. Hazelmere RV Resort is a case in point. Soon into the genesis of the Resort, it became apparent that most travelers who frequented the resort were from around the lower mainland. There were, and have been, over the years a solid contingent of RVers from south of the border and who come in from abroad. But the mainstay at Hazelmere is definitely local travelers. Co-owner, Ralph Zanderbergen,
says its always been this way, more or less, but with the economy being the way it has over the last seven or eight years, more travelers are choosing to be tourists in their own town. There are plentiful attractions in
the immediate area including trails for mountain biking and hiking, and a fish hatchery (which is a captivating and educational experience that you should take up at least once in your life). The natural terrain in and around the park serves as a natural stop-over for migratory birds. All combined, these features make Hazlemere, not
escape.

only a bird-watchers paradise, but a central hub for a respectable number of local attractions. Hazlemere provides opportunities for photographers – whether amateur, novice or expert – to break out their best gear in their quest for the perfect nature or vacation shot. The Park is equipped with fully
updated and maintained laundry facilities, outdoor pool, golf courses and numerous other in-park features – not the least of which is the fact that it is tastefully designed to provide for an exceptional RV vacation for the entire family. Nearby attractions include: the
Rainforest Reptile Refuge Society for abused and unwanted reptiles, amphibians and other exotic pets. Housing some 50 different species, and about 350 animals, including bearded dragons, caiman, chameleons, frogs, iguanas, skinks, snakes, tarantulas, toads, tortoises and turtles, you’re in for a captivating experience here. The Bear Creek Park Train, at Bear
Creek Park, is an historic miniature diesel and steam engine train ride that takes travellers through a magical
forest and display tunnel. Historic Stewart Farm is a beautifully
restored 1894 farm-stead, including house, pole barn, and heirloom gardens on the Nicomekl River. Seasonal events include tours by guides in period-style costume, woodstove cooking, heritage crafts and participatory old-fashioned parlour games. Surrey Arts Centre features
live performances, exhibitions of contemporary art featured in the Surrey Art Gallery, there is a Tech Lab and guest lobby. The Gift Shop offers unique and finely crafted original artworks by various local artists. Crescent Beach/Blackie Spit is a
tranquil and quaint beach village. Go for a swim in the warm waters of the protected swimming area or build sandcastles on the sandy beach. Wander through the charming stores and enjoy the varied restaurants along the main strip. Next to the beach area is Blackie Spit, one of the best bird watching areas in Canada with some 200 species of birds recorded over the different seasons.
