Riverside Country Park

Everything about riverside is excellent can't fault it , it's a quiet and beautiful place to go .we have stayed in the pods a few times but have also stopped in the superb caravans it's so nice it's like it's calling you to stop again even if your on a budget it caters for all

Going home

Location cleanliness

River running through park is a nice feature shop is very well stocked and close to nearby wooler which is really nice. Clubhouse is handy as is the pool . Location is great give cragworth hall a day if national trust members huge national park could spend two days there with Statley home but 3 mile drive through beautiful grounds to play park where there is a forest with den building.

Pitches next to the river small cannot fit caravan awning and car due to light post in way however the super pitches opposite are huge and no extra cost. Ground in pitches must have concrete under and bent all pegs trying to pitch awning so get hard standing pegs or your awning may not go up few people didn't pitch for this reason .
Showers after reading reviews about push stop operation I did think it was picky but it is annoying lasts about 8 seconds before going off. No temp control . They weren't the cleanest and quite cramped .

The local area and location,.
The information received on arrival.

Lack of arrivals parking area (no markings ) and car parked blocking outside reception which was parked there all week causing obstruction to traffic!
Complete lack of security with no working barrier system in operation and toilets with unlocked access also the toilets were inadequate for the amount of people using them and unkept sufficiently clean (never went to the toilet block without the need to flush them before i could use the toilet) !, The overflowing bin area ! , My wife also felt unsafe at this site ! We cut our holiday short !

Excellent site and well located to visit both countryside and coast. Alison the receptionist was exceptionally helpful as my partner was taken ill during our stay.

Location of touring pitch to facilities was good. Swimming pool was good although the showers were broken when we went. The bar/restaurant was nice although we didn't eat in there the food did look good.

The shower block was not the cleanest or in great condition. The showers were too small if you were showering with young children and the push button on the shower only stayed on for about 10 seconds.

Only thing we liked about our stay was the fact was a good location for us to access

The lock on the pod was broken, massive gaps in the door that made it bang all night, was right behind reception building and they had a light on all night and no curtain for little window to the rear, the curtain over the door was mouldy and held in by about for hooks so as soon as the sun came up we got up. The toilet block was disgusting, sink blocked and water all over the floor, wasn't fixed till checkout morning. Showers covered in mildew and only 3 toilets for the whole of the tourers and pods.

Location
Toilets/showers were clean
Shop was okay

Club was very disappointing

The campsite was good ,clean and friendly plenty in the area to do
WiFi could be a bit better on the site mine did not work at all .
But we will come back again. Easy to pitch up plenty of space ,toilets nice and warm a bit messy with toilet paper on floor once kids had been in .

None

The facilities were reasonable and staff was friendly.

The showers were extremely small. No facilities for greywater disposal. The swimming pool is not within the site. There is a busy road to cross to reach the swimming pool and social facilities. Children cannot go on their own as it is not safe to cross.
