From the manager: Dear Sean,
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear you found Riverbend clean and you were happy with our warm welcome.
Unfortunately, the torrential rain just before your arrival had caused some temporary surface water on the original pitch you were allocated. While conditions were extremely challenging due to the weather, we’re really pleased our staff were able to act quickly and offer you an alternative pitch nearby .
Our team always try to make sure guests are as comfortable as possible, and it’s lovely to hear their help made a positive difference to your stay. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back again soon for some sunnier camping weather!
with our kind regards

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words about your recent stay with us. It truly brightened our day to read your thoughtful review!
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience—from our friendly staff and spacious sites to the well-kept grounds and our five-star bathrooms. Our team works very hard to maintain a welcoming, clean, and relaxing environment for all our guests, so it’s incredibly rewarding to know that their efforts made such a positive impression on you.
Your comments about the bathrooms in particular mean a great deal to us. We’ve invested a lot of care into making sure those spaces are not only spotless but also comfortable and private—more like a home away from home—so we’re thrilled that you noticed and appreciated the extra touches.
We look forward to seeing you again next season

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (premium)
Liked Warm friendly welcoming staff. Neat, tidy site in a lovely location. Toilet block that is probably the best we have used on a site and fully justifies its 'diamond' rating.
Only a complete pedant could find anything of substance about which to complain.
We will be back sometime next year, and most likely years to come.

Liked Absolutely loved our weekend at Riverbend!
Fantastic sized pitches, super clean facilities and amazing staff. Angie, Lindsey, Becca and Max were wonderful with our young boys. They spent time showing them all the wonders of the park, helping them pick apples and blackberries to eat, hazelnuts and making potpourri with their finds from around the park.
The playground and river were an absolute treat for them too. Our cocker spaniel thoroughly enjoyed a run in the dog meadow and a refreshing swim in the river over the hot weekend.
We’ll definitely be returning ❤️
Disliked Absolutely nothing!

From the manager: Hi Layna,
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It was such a pleasure having you all at Riverbend — your boys were an absolute joy to spend time with. We had so much fun exploring the park together, picking apples and blackberries, finding hazelnuts, and getting creative with the potpourri!
I’m so glad they enjoyed the playground and river, and that your cocker spaniel had a great time too — the dog meadow and river swims are always a hit on sunny days!
It really means the world to us to hear you had such a great weekend. We’d love to welcome you all back again soon — we’ll have more adventures waiting! ❤️
