From the manager: Dear Allan, Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you appreciated the spacious pitch, picnic table, and clean facilities. Your positive feedback on our attention to detail is much appreciated. We understand that our tractor had to make one journey to carry ground guards to our compound , although we did notify you before this occurred, we hope it didn't detract too much from your stay and that we can welcome you back soon! Thank you once again for taking the time to review. Angie Lindsey and the Team.

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Beautiful site. We had a fully serviced, hard standing pitch, which was great. Facilities were spotless. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great communication. Close to a lot of tourist attractions in both Wales and England. We will definitely visit again.
Disliked: This isn't a problem, but something to mention, you can't park your car on your pitch. There are plenty of spaces around. Maybe numbered spaces might be an idea. As I say not a huge problem, but it was the only small negative we found during our stay at this lovely site.

From the manager: Hello Emma, Thank you for your review! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our facilities, staff, and location. Regarding the parking situation, we understand that not being able to park directly on your pitch might be a minor inconvenience. However, we've found that lush, green grass tends to look better without tire tracks. Rest assured, our car park is conveniently located right next to the pitches, so you won't have to embark on a grand expedition to reach your vehicle. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Angie Lindsey and the team

From the manager: Hello Andrew, Thank you for your review. We're delighted you enjoyed our playground, accessible river and the well-kept grounds. However, we were surprised by your comment about our facilities being dated and being allowed a fire as we do not allow fires and also our award winning washrooms are far from dated. We believe there may be a mix-up with another park, We regularly update and maintain all our amenities to ensure they meet the highest standards of modern comfort and convenience We value your opinion and would like to discuss this further to ensure there are no misunderstandings. Please contact us directly. We are committed to providing all our customers with the best possible experience Best regards, Angie, Lindsey and the Team

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We loved Riverbend. It was great for the kids, with the playground and the ability to paddle in the river. The facilities were amazing with 5 separate shower and toilet units for both male and female (think ensuite bathroom style). The tent pitches were well proportioned and each had its own running water and option for electric hook up. There are only 10 tent pitches on site (the rest are tourers) so book to avoid disappointment as it will fill quickly. Next time we go we will make sure it is a weekend when the stone baked pizza horse box is open. Thankyou Riverbend Team.

From the manager: Hi Gary, Thank you very much for your 10/10. We are really happy that you have liked everything and hope that your bike ride went well. Riverbend is a brilliant base for cyclists as we are very fortunate to be in the middle of the Glyndwr's way so we are a popular choice for walkers aswell. We look forward to your next visit.
