The address, and the pin to trust

River Rock Casino Resort is at 8811 River Road, Richmond, BC V6X 3P8, on the Fraser River waterfront, across Great Canadian Way from Bridgeport station (2211 Great Canadian Way). The links below point at Google's own card for this resort, so they work the same in a rental car's sat-nav, on a phone or on a laptop.

From YVR: Canada Line or a cab

The resort advertises no airport shuttle, and it does not need one: the airport branch of the Canada Line joins the main line at Bridgeport, so a train from YVR–Airport station reaches the resort's doorstep without a change. TransLink adds a $6.50 AddFare to journeys that start at YVR–Airport, Sea Island Centre or Templeton, so the ride from the terminal costs more than the ride back.

With heavy bags, a child seat or a flight that lands after the last train, a taxi or a ride-hail car is the simpler answer. Ride-app pickups at YVR use designated zones; follow the airport's Ride App symbol from arrivals. The drive is short, but it crosses a bridge, so the route below is worth a look at rush hour.

From downtown Vancouver and the cruise terminal

Waterfront station, at the foot of Granville Street, is the northern end of the Canada Line. Board any southbound train: both the YVR–Airport and the Richmond–Brighouse services pass through Bridgeport, which is why the station gets more trains than either branch. The resort's own figure is about 20 minutes from Waterfront.

Coming off a cruise at Canada Place with luggage, a cab saves the stairs and the transfer. By road the approach is Highway 99 south over the Oak Street Bridge into Richmond; the link below picks the lanes and shows the bridge traffic for the hour you leave.

From Seattle and the Peace Arch

I-5 north ends at the Peace Arch crossing, where Highway 99 begins on the Canadian side. Highway 99 then runs through Surrey and Delta and under the South Arm of the Fraser in the George Massey Tunnel, the usual bottleneck of the trip, before it reaches Richmond, where the Bridgeport Road exit serves northbound drivers. Everyone in the car needs valid ID for the crossing; a passport, passport card or NEXUS card are the usual ones.

Two ready routes: downtown Seattle to River Rock and the Peace Arch crossing to River Rock. The second is the one to open in the customs queue, when the only unknown left is the tunnel.

From the BC Ferries terminal at Tsawwassen

Arriving from Vancouver Island on the ferry, you have two options. Without a car, bus Route 620 runs between the Tsawwassen ferry terminal and the Bridgeport exchange, which is across the road from the resort. With a car, the drive heads north to Highway 99 and through the same tunnel as the Seattle route.

The last stretch: Bridgeport station to the lobby

Google's walking route from Bridgeport station to the resort's pin on River Road came out at about 400 metres and six minutes when we checked it on 29 October 2026, either along Great Canadian Way or through Charles Street, and it rates the walk as mostly flat. Roller bags are no problem; the only crossings are at street level.

If you drive in: where the car goes

Hotel guests self-park in the West lot, reached from River Road, and that parking is part of the $19.99 nightly resort fee. Valet costs $33 a night. Tall vans, campers and anything that will not clear the West lot go to the East Parkade, where over-height self-parking is $25 a night. The parking guide has the details, and the EV page covers charging.
