River View Touring Park

Pontarddulais, Carmarthenshire, Wales

Touring caravan pitches
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Would return but not to hear dogs barking.

Sep 2026

Liked We had a good pitch near to very clean toilet/shower block. Laundry room, nice. And a bar on site. Adults only area. But.....

Disliked Arrived next to us, a commune of camper and tents with barking/yapping dogs. No one in reception, after midday, to sort this out. Dogs barking again at 7.30am. Separate charge for electric hook up which means you have to monitor usage, it can easily run away from you. Hard standing pitch but not level.

We would definitely return to this site at this time of year (Sept)

Sep 2026

Liked Showers available all day. Close, large pitch that was close to the exit. Flat ptch. Meet n Great from Mandy was great

Disliked Uncontrollable temperature for showers. Entrance gate very tight. Cardiff airport take off is right above the site. The facilities while useable, are a bit on the old side. Nothing to do in the local area so, a drive is needed.

One of our favourites and a good price.

Aug 2026

Liked This site has it all electric water flat pitches but not over done with the levelling and the making it to twee. The field is big enough and adequate for the amount of Caravans that go on to it and it also has a pub in front of the field so that you don't have to walk too far to get a drink. The pub has entertainment and this week it was a pair of singers who did a lot of folk and Irish and other types of music. This has to be one of our favourite sites to visit in Essex. Close by is the best River Crouch and Bradwell Marina which are both worth seeing. Plenty of walking can be done across open spaces that lead to the river.

Disliked What's not to like about this site apart from one thing that was not very good inside the shower. It needs extra clothes hanging hooks and a space or shelf for putting your shower gels and shampoos so that you don't have to bend down to the floor to pick them up. Apart from that, everything else is really really clean and tidy. The toilet block itself is well appointed and clean and has nothing to complain about in itself. This site is so well presented. I can't find anything else to complain about

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are so happy to hear we are one of your favourite sites to visit in Essex. With special mention to the site itself, the Pub, its entertainment and our close proximity to the River and Bradwell Marina. Thank you for your suggestions regarding the facilities and we are already looking into some of them so it is good to know we are on the right track. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Holme Pierrepont Country Park

Well located and reasonably priced.

Sep 2025

Liked Close enough to Nottingham city centre and a bus stop right outside the site. Grass pitches are well spaced and relatively level. 16 amp electric is supplied. The toilet/shower block is clean but well used. Four fields with about 25 spaces on each.

Disliked I can't think of anything I disliked about this site.

Braids Caravan Park

A nice place to stay in Gretna.

Sep 2025

Liked Close proximity to the Famous Blacksmiths Shop. A laundry facility is available on site. Flat and level gravel pitch with 16 amp electric. Friendly people who run the site.

Disliked Having to pay 20p for shower. Leaving time is 11am with no lea way. (I asked). WiFi is there but too slow to be useful. Noisy road with juggernauts day and night.

Ord House Country Park

Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England

Touring caravan pitches
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

A great place to stay

Sep 2025

Liked Clean and tidy, well kept gardens and grass. A pleasant walk into Berwick upon Tweed. Award winning toilet/shower block is very nice. Ord House is very well preserved, has a nice bar and grill with very nice food.

Disliked Internet "Tourer WiFi" does not work. Pitches are not level so, be prepared to use levelling blocks both sideways and back to front. Many many static caravans. The best pitches are already taken by permanently pitched tourers.

Long Meadow Farm

A very clean well kept site, all the facilities are in very good order

Sep 2025

Liked We liked the view and the close proximity to both Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Bus stop within a three minute walk and it takes the Freedom Pass so travel for pensioners is free. Whitby Abbey is on the same road (as is Whitby brewery) approx 2.5 miles along. Whitby Abbey is English Heritage so free access for members but you need to pay for the carpark. Pitch is allocated before arrival with email and text communication and there is no-one to meet and greet. Elsan point and fresh water are nice and clean and convenient. Rubbish bin is provided. 240 volt electric socket behind each pitch with 16 amp power. No WiFi but my phone has a good signal.

Disliked Entry to the site has bushes either side, I lost a door mirror to one of them (no damage). Pitches are very close together, if all campers use an awning then there is no where to park the car. If my nextdoor neighbour had an awning up, I would have been able to reach out from my window to touch it. The site is at the top of a hill and, although shielded by trees and bushes, it is very windy up there. The main road is only 3 minutes walk away and is very busy with noisy vehicles throughout the day from very early hours.

A wonderful site to stay at for a weekend.

Aug 2025

Liked The whole site is very nice. Each pitch has electric and water nearby. And to top it all, there's the pub right next to the field. Run by a lovely couple who put on entertainment and also supply good food.

Disliked Dogs barking. Gnats Pigeons

Will visit again. Pub on site is great.

Jul 2025

Liked Everything about the place was good. Each pitch is now a super pitch with own water and electricity. Free wifi Pitches are flat and well drained. No fuss when booking in. And.......it's adults only!

Disliked Having to drive there. 😂 Can someone do it for me?

Excellent site, clean facilities, friendly staff & level pitches

May 2024

Liked What a lovely site. Mainly grass pitches and with all the rain we've had lately, it was a bit spongey underfoot. The pub at the front of the site was very welcome and live music on the Saturday afternoon was nice. Each pitch has its own electric supply and water taps are nearby. Toilet/shower blocks are clean. We will return.

Disliked Not much to dislike really.
