Riverside Valley Camping

Positiv Family run- really liked how the farmer checked in on everyone and was so friendly!
Great location and scenery
Dog and family friendly
Nice add ons for the little ones like calf cuddling, sitting on the tractor and we were able to hire wood and a fire pit which was a nice touch

Positiv I loved the peace and quiet of this site. A family and an adult section. We were in the family section and still very peaceful. The owner comes around everynight with logs and fire pits if needed. Very friendly and will definitely be returning.
Loo block if needed.

Positiv The huge selling point was the owners. The owners were so so genuine, down to earth and just lovely people. Really chatty and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble.

The fields were very large with some really lovely spots. The site did get very very busy, I think one night there was over 20 on just one of the fields, however it was big enough that everyone seemed happy enough and had more than enough space. I loved that you could pick your own pitch and it’s very flexible with what you can bring. We like to bring a gazebo and a lot of places don’t allow but here it was no problem.

Stunning area, at the edge of the peaks, lovely villages surrounding and plenty to do in the area should you wish. We stayed for 2 nights and stayed on site the entire time with no problems finding enough to do between going for a wander to see the horses/cows and for a walk to the waters edge. We also took a bit of an explore through the side of the adult field through the forest and found a lovely walkway and accidentally ended up on a private fishing lake next door which was stunning!! (This did however mean hiking through bushes/going off track so not an easy access🤣) they offer calf cuddling for £10 per person, we didn’t do it but was tempted! Really lovely unique idea.

Log burners and logs can be hired for £15 which I think is another fab option and really reasonably priced, however I’d book and pay for this via their website beforehand to reserve one, as on busy nights like when we stayed we didn’t manage to get one on the first night. Owner was fab about it and we still got some wood from them and did a fire in our BBQ instead so this wasn’t a problem for us at all.

Negativ There was only 2 portaloos to supply both of the large fields, they became full, smelly and dirty very quickly, despite the owners trying to keep on top of them. There were large puddles on the floor, waste overspilling and people waiting around them. However can imagine this isn’t a problem usually and only an issue during busier periods, I would still say more possibly need adding for the amount of plots offered out per night.

There was a drinking water tap which was fab, however I would say is it is at the entrance of the first field, so it’s quite a walk if you stay in the back field, so bring large bottles/water buckets to fill so that this isn’t an issue.

Lastly the rubbish, there was only two small black bins next to the portaloos which got absolutely stacked with rubbish. It was completely overflowing and surrounded with rubbish. It was mentioned that on the website it states for campers to take all rubbish away with them, I booked via Pitch Up and cannot see anything that states that? So maybe others wasn’t aware of that rule either, that been said there was chairs and all sorts getting left which I find totally unfair on the owners, so definitely don’t think the amount of rubbish was the owners fault and was more so campers being disrespectful.

Positiv Really lovely site with a relaxing atmosphere. Owners of this site are really friendly and inviting, they came by a few times to check everything was okay, nothing was too much trouble for them. Really liked seeing the horses and cows in the field next to us. Plenty of room around our pitch.

Positiv Very spacious and you can choose your own pitch. Friendly owners. Fairly level site. Nice and quiet at night, you can hear the nearby dual carriageway but it’s not noisy.

Negativ There were 2 portaloos which wasn’t really enough for the number of people so the got quite disgusting quickly despite the fact that they clearly were being maintained. Take your own loo roll as they weren’t well stocked. Hand sanitizer was provided. Would be fine if you have your own facilities.
