Riverside Valley Camping

Positiv Plenty of space. And by the next day we had the field to ourselves. Great location. Certainly off grid apart from a couple of loos.
Guests included woodpeckers, buzzards, kestrels and the kingfisher.
Hosts were friendly and very helpful.
Keep up the excellent work.

Negativ Nothing with regards to the place itself, but disliked the total disrespect from other campers for basically fly tipping in the hosts field. Why would you leave chairs, rubbish bags, mattresses and tents behind for them to clear up? Gives those that show respect a bad name. Take your rubbish home with you.!

Positiv We had a lovely stay at Riverside Valley Camping in the ‘Secluded’ Glamping Bell tent. The location was perfect, looking out onto a small flowing river, which our boys loved exploring. The owners were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble and the location is perfect for exploring. Would highly recommend.

Negativ Would be great to have the opportunity to have a shower or somewhere to wash up.

Positiv I booked a pitch on the family campsite for myself, my two 6 year old and our dog. It's not too far from home as neither the kids or dog had been camping before. This site is absolutely perfect. Such friendly hosts and such a beautiful location! we have all had the most fantastic 24 hours exploring the river and enjoying the great outdoors. The calf cuddling was such a worthwhile added bonus too! I have no doubt we will be back as a family but this is also a wonderful place for an adult only break away too. Amazing, thank you!

Positiv Huge well kept site! Ability to choose your own pitch is great. Our dog loves the river so we get as close as we can to keep him happy 😁. Was our second visit within 2months and were already planning a third visit

Positiv Lovely peaceful area, flat pitches with plenty of space for the kids to run around, they really enjoyed playing in the river. They also loved seeing the animals.
We stumbled upon Barlow carnival which was really fun and we had a great day in the village which is a short walk up the road.
Portaloos only (as in description) but clean.
Owners are really friendly and helpful, even jump started my car on the last day without any hassle.

Negativ Nothing.
It’s a very basic site as described but we liked that about it.

Positiv Barlow was lovley great pub called the peakcock and the carnival was great

Negativ Toilets was a portaloo x 2 the camp was busy and the toilet were not clean, and rubbish piled up at the side of the toilet the bins were full and also had maggots.
The river is more like a stream and not really that easy to access. Some partys of it was really dirty and litter as well, i didnt want to let the dog get in it. Water access is just a top at the top of the family field

Positiv This is a really peaceful camping, with nice day activities nearby. We were welcomed by the owner, after we arrived late in the evening and set ourselves up at our self chosen spot. We were very happy with the suggestions of the owner about the things to do around and our kids happily made a fire for which the fire wood was sold by the camp site. Not many facilities on site, but that’s part of the charm!

Positiv The bell tent was cozy and the site has a really relaxed, friendly feel. The owners couldn’t have been nicer. It’s dog friendly too, which was perfect for us.

The kids spent most of their time playing in the river (they loved it!) while we got to enjoy the peaceful setting. There’s also lots to do in the area with some brilliant walks and places to explore

Positiv We booked a night in the secluded tipi type tent , upon arrival we were shown by Natalie the way to go and she opened the gates for us and made sure we knew everything and also asked us if we needed anything else . The tipi was well equipped with draws lights towels plenty of bedding and pillows . Outside was a table chairs loungers bbq a fire pit both charcoal and wood for the fire pit provided .
There was also a small stream that ran very close to the tent with some loungers in the water too we were told that it was ok to swim but we didn’t bother as it was late when we arrived . There was also a porta-loo which smelled nice and had toilet rolls etc . There’s no WiFi but you can just switch off and enjoy the surroundings I had enough signal to receive calls etc .You pretty much have a corner of a field away from everyone and it’s fenced so our kids could just run around which was great , the beds were so very comfy.
As a bit of a bonus Natalie showed the kids how to milk 2 cows they also fed the calves and walked the calves around.
Overall an excellent experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay again .
Many thanks
Andrew Carrie and the kids .
