Riddings Wood Holiday Park

Em va agradar Good levels of security with CCTV across the site, fences around the majority of the site, but there was a gap in the fencing in the bottom of the tent (non electric pitches) and electronic barriers in and out.
The shop sells reasonably priced ice creams, fire lighters and logs etc but nothing camping related (pegs, ropes etc).
The new and only toilet block, located next to the site office, is of good size; with 4 cubicles, and 4 showers plus 3 sinks inside and 3 big sinks outside for pot washing. The site is clearly marked with a 5MPH, 1 way system and there is ample parking for visitors too. There is a children’s park with barking chippings and ample grass space around it.

No em va agradar The toilet blocks appear to get cleaned once a day, as both I and my partner experienced no toilet roll or no soap in the toilets. Yet when they had been cleaned, they were immaculate inside. In the gents there was a massive puddle in the entrance, which I squeegeed in to the shower drain, but had been well trampled in before I went to use the toilet.
Whilst there are two areas which have a total of 7 big industrial bins, there was litter across the site that wasn’t collected over a 3 day period (ice cream wrappers, empty cans, crisp packets). Even though the warden does walk the site with his dog, it was a shame that this wasn’t ever picked up. Our pitch also had rubbish left on it from the previous guests, but given the 30min change over window I suppose the wardens might not be able to check all vacated pitches, and this is more lack of respect of those leaving. The pitches, except for handstanding are on quite a slope, so be prepared to adjust your usual sleeping configuration. The park has quite a lot of graffiti and damage, that if repaired would improve the safety of children using it.
There was also a “rubbish pile” that has a large burnt tree and then a pile of broken bricks, and broken pottery. This was approximately 60m away from the children’s park and wasn’t fenced off; it had some ticker tape on 3 sides but this didn’t prevent access and could have caused an injury should children inadvertently access it.

Em va agradar Friendly staff, reception and barrier, easy to find. Good bathroom and shower facilities and little park for the kids.

No em va agradar As a family site could get a little noisy but did settle down at night. A little walk to the toilet and shower block from the lower camping field but nothing major.

Em va agradar We recently stayed at Riddings Wood Holiday Park and had the most fantastic first-time caravan experience. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome by Liz and Gary, the park managers. Our jockey wheel was broken when we got there, but Gary kindly helped us park our caravan (“Peggy”) using a block – such a lifesaver!

We stayed on Pitch One, which had a stunning view of the woodland. The whole site has a really lovely, relaxed atmosphere and is perfect for families. Our kids spent most of their time making new friends at the park, giving us some time to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The toilet and shower blocks were spotless throughout our stay, and the washing-up area was really handy. We also noticed that there are lodges with hot tubs available to rent, which looked ideal if you’re after a bit of extra comfort.

The on-site reception/shop is a great bonus too – they stock a nice variety of ice creams, cold drinks, logs, and even dog treats, which was such a thoughtful touch for pet owners.

Honestly, this was the perfect introduction to caravan camping. Friendly staff, clean facilities, great amenities, and a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be back again soon.

Em va agradar The campsite was lovely and facilities were clean, the staff were welcoming informative and helpful and it was good value for money. There is a good play area for children and plenty of space for the children to run around.

No em va agradar A couple of grumbles would be that the toilet blocks were very far away from the non electric campsite which isn’t great for anyone with mobility issues, also the waste disposal area was very smelly which could maybe benefit from being a bit more closed in.
