Overall we enjoyed our stay but very steep in places.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Showers clean, nice walks to go with the dogs. Great that takeaway deliver. Nice pitch with close amenities. Very welcoming.
Disliked Hand dryers not working in the toilet from the Sunday till Friday when we left.
Desperately need to fill large holes in as you come to the barrier. More 5mph signs needed as there were many cars going above that speed causing a lot of dust on the route through the park. Some people not adhering to dogs on leads.

Ok site sadly with disrespectful campers.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Facilities were ok, reception did have item to purchase, toilets and shower block were ok however we were camping non electric which meant walking all the way up the hill to make use of these, as a disabled person I found this difficult.
The site offers a play park and woodlands along with lots of outdoor games that we could use and my daughter had fun.
We stayed her previously years ago and loved it then but it was a quieter season.
Disliked Sadly this will be our last visit as large groups were allowed to camp together and were partying until 3am being overly loud with music playing and were wandering around all over the place all night. Waking up this morning they've made quite the mess and it's disappointing to see people be like that and have no respect for other campers so we left pretty early along with others who weren't happy.
We've never experienced such a bad evening when camping so sadly won't return but if kids playing until midnight and people partying until 3am is your thing then this might be the place for you.

From the manager: Thank you for you prompt review of your stay with us, we do welcome all feedback.
We are so sorry that your stay was not relaxing, the managers were aware that a group were excessively noisy and were out on site till 2am trying to manage the group, we were unable to tell them to leave as they were over the limit for driving. They have this morning been told to leave and have a copy of your review to read. We are so sorry this has made you feel you cannot return in the future. We do take action when guests impact on other guests and the majority of our guests are respectful of each other but sadly there are a minority that are not respectful to others at all.
We have in the past and will continue in the future to tell guests to leave if they are disruptive and we do block them from returning in the future. Our park is family orientated and we will continue to promote the family ethos.
if you made us aware that you were disabled and would struggle to get to facilities we would have sited you nearer to the toilet block.
Many thanks for your feedback and we wish you well in your future travels, from all at Riddings Wood.
