Riddings Wood Holiday Park

Liked Playground

Disliked Thought there'd be usable woods with fire pits as advertised on the campsite. Pitch was not flat which meant limited choice for non electric.

Liked Really reasonably priced nice location, hot tub is great, they have washing liquid and a sponge which is really helpful plus towels so it’s great!

Disliked 2 things, firstly the whole lodge is slanted so that’s usual, also another thing which is nothing they can do but the spider are HUGE we actually left a day early because it was too much for us!

Liked It was a nice quiet site, clean and toilet / shower facilities were great. Showers were nice and warm with great water pressure. Well maintained and clean. Lovely play area for kids. Really family friendly site.
There is what looked like a water treatment plant right behind the none electric camping field which does let off some level of noise, we didn’t mind this as was white noise for baby, but to bare in mind if this doesn’t work for you! Only can hear it really right down bottom end of field.

Disliked The toilet block was quite far from the none electric camping. As the road through the site was quite uneven and stoned, it was hard to see at night - would recommend a very good torch. We ended up using the car to get up to the toilets as we had a dog and baby with us.

Liked Staff really friendly 🙂
Bed,pillows,quilt super comfty
Quiet,peaceful site
Hot tub spot on👌
Got free biscuits,tea,coffee,sugar milk
Great airfryer,kettle,microwave
Shower really good and hot🥵

Disliked Didnt get no robes or slippers,just like everyone else hasnt (seems to be a problem)
Floor in the bathroom near the toilet has caved in
No tea towel to dry pots so we had to use a hand towel🤦🏽‍♀️
Window above the bed broken n been taped down by masking tape,got woken up at 6am by the light,maybe a roller blind is needed across it.
Noisey neighbours screaming,shouting,loud music til 2am spoilt it for us.
Even someone from the camping went round banging on their door
Check out too early 10am,so we had to pay £20 to stay til 12.or £45 til 5pm.

Liked Nice campsite
Friendly staff

Disliked Didn't refill soap in the toilets
Ground full of rocks so make sure you have some strong pegs
You are camped on a slope in a few of the sites it's nothing super bad but something to look out for.
We got put right next to the water tap so just felt like everyone is looking in to your tents when they are filling up.

Liked Easy to check in, great location and facilities. For the price and being able to book for one night is excellent for flexibility

Disliked The shop closing at 5!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Food vans come on site
Good pitch size apart from parking quite snug due to tents literally over the small gravel road. Small shop good although waiting a while if lots people checking in.

Disliked No sign posts near the park
Stopped there 4 days no soap in ladies toliets for 3 of them days.
Toilets generally clean toilet rolls hit and miss in some toilets.
On arrival i just wanted to check my booking was correct as i hadnt received my confirmation on a mix up on rebooking found the lady quite sharp, defensive and rude. Although the communications on email was really good. The lady had sent email but it because it was through this site i didnt get it.

Liked A lovely setting and the location is great, lots of walks and pubs within walking distance.

The play park was good and well used.

The pizza van.

Disliked Only 1 toilet and shower block at the top pf the hill for the whole site. It wasn’t cleaned often enough with a bucket of filthy water to wipe the floor down.
The female owner was quite abrupt and rude to some of the guests.
All the pitches are on a slope.
No grey waste disposal and a sign telling you to pour it in the hedges.
The drainage smell was awful and woke us up.
I don’t think we would choose to stay here again as there are so many nicer options available locally.
