  • On the banks of the River Wye a short stroll from Hereford centre
  • A 10-minute walk from the Mappi Mundi, Hereford Museum and lots more
  • Mooring and boat launch space along with spectacular river views
A site with rowing club in its name is pretty likely to be close to water. And so it is with Hereford Rowing Club, set on the banks of the River Wye with spectacular waterside views and steps leading down to the water. Pull up here to get your head down for a night on a canoeing trip, or make the club your base for days of rowing on the Wye or getting adrenalised along the river rapids (canoes and paddleboards can be delivered to the site if you need to hire either). Less actively, this excellent setting is only five minutes' walk from the centre of Hereford and the fab Mappi Mundi, and 20 miles from the acclaimed bookish town of Hay on Wye. Walks in the lush surroundings of Herefordshire and the Wye valley are also a big draw around here, as are the handsome villages of the Black and White Trail, within 15 miles, and sampling as much as poss of fresh Herefordshire produce and cider. The closest pub/restaurant to the site is within a few minutes' walk, and loads more pubs and restaurants (as well as nightclubs) are 10 minutes away in Hereford. Pitches are in a dog-friendly green field, with first-rate views of the Wye. The site has plenty of parking, mooring space and room to launch and land canoes and kayaks, along with shared amenities of showers, toilets, chemical disposal and a washing-up area. Barbecues and campfires are allowed as long as they're raised off the ground. There is a bar here, but please note that it may be closed inside at weekends during the evening because of private functions.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: What a little treasure. Pitches - fab Toilets - plenty, and clean! Showers - powerful and warm, also clean. Hairdryer on site too. Situated on the wye, so peaceful, beautiful walks and benches all around to sit. We launched our own paddle boards for £1.50pp which was good fun! A stone throw into the centre of Hereford, so ideally placed for a few drinks and nice food and a stroll back to site! Bonus - they have a bar onsite, and offer for £9 a full buffet style breakfast So cheap for a nights stay! We will be back 1000x over!!

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Great flat pitch with plenty of room for the camper and awning. Clean toilets and showers. Ladies had separate shower cubicles. Close to walk into town or along the river. Nearby supermarket in walking distance. Very reasonable cost for the facilities on offer.

Disliked: Male showers did not have separate cubicles which teenage son didn’t like, so wouldn’t use them.

Excellent site ideal for a city break or quiet riverside walks. 10/10

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Loved the Location right on the river. Very helpful reception staff. Lovely clean facilities and showers. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Dogs were allowed on the site and in the clubhouse if well-behaved. They do a buffet breakfast saturday & sundays. Minutes to walk to the city centre. Lots of nice shops and bars. Quiet site, friendly people. Couldn't fault it.

Disliked: A bit of a walk to the toilets… but dont let that put you off.

Local attractions

This splendid setting close to the cathedral city of Hereford has it within a short stroll of many top Herefordshire attractions including Hereford Cathedral and the spectacular Mappi Mundi; Hereford Museum and Art Gallery; the Black and White Houses museum and the Hereford Cider Museum, all under 10 minutes' walk away. The Courtyard theatre and arts centre is within 15 minutes' walk. More top Herefordshire attractions a little further afield include the villages of the acclaimed Black and White Trail, a 40-mile circular trail around the county's half-timbered houses. The trail starts and finishes in the town of Leominster, well worth a potter around before or after the drive for its antiques and collectables (Weobley, Eardisland, Pembridge and Dilwyn are all top spots for pitstops). The gardens, parkland and 15th-century house of Hampton Court are 10 miles way, in the village of Hope under Dinmore, near Leominster. There's also the handsome riverside market town of Ross-on-Wye 14 miles away, above the Wye and with access to the Wye valley, the Forest of Dean and the popular village and famed viewpoint of Symonds Yat. Within 20 miles, browse the antique shops and many bookshops of Hay-on-Wye: buying a tome here is very much a must.
