What customers say
Awesome spot, reviewers rave about the super clean, modern facilities (best ever!). Friendly staff, lovely grounds, peaceful vibe. River and local shops are bonuses. Road noise and no Wi-Fi were minor gripes.

From the manager: Hi Wendy,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and especially that the children had such a great time playing in the river. 😊 We’re also really pleased you loved our washrooms,
Just to clarify regarding the space for children, we do have a dedicated play area, the river/stream where children can paddle and explore, as well as a large meadow for enjoying the outdoors. We do, however, prohibit ball games in the park, as this is one of our park rules. These rules are provided to guests prior to their visit, are available on our website, and we also explain them on arrival. This is to ensure everyone staying with us can enjoy a peaceful and safe environment.
We’re pleased the children enjoyed riding along the campsite road and tackling the speed bumps! 😄 And it sounds like you also made the most of the pub at the main entrance.
Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to leave your feedback.
We’re so glad you had a lovely time!

From the manager: Dear Allan,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the site, our beautiful surroundings and the convenient location for exploring Welshpool, Machynlleth and the wider area. It’s also great to hear that you’ll definitely be returning , we look forward to welcoming you back! 😊
We’re sorry that you experienced a little road noise during your stay. We just wanted to mention that this was a one-off and not typical of the site. On this occasion, we needed to get some materials out of our compound in order to complete some essential work, which unfortunately created a little additional noise. We did come and speak to you before this occured as curtiosy .
We really appreciated your understanding and are pleased that, despite this, you had such a positive experience. Thank you again for your kind comments about how beautifully the park is kept , our team work hard to maintain the grounds and make sure guests can enjoy the peaceful setting.
We look forward to seeing you again soon! 🌿

Liked Site was spotless throughout. Bathrooms were the best I've seen on a campsite. Several toilets and (hot) showers, separate for men and women.
Loads of space on the pitch itself, with both water and hook up.
Disliked Not much in the local area, but obviously this isn't an issue with the campsite itself, which I honestly couldn't fault.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted you found the park spotless and enjoyed our spacious pitches and facilities. It's especially lovely to hear that our washrooms were the best you've experienced on a campsite that means a great deal to our team.
Regarding the local area, we completely understand that finding attractions can sometimes be tricky if you're visiting somewhere new. It's always wise to have a quick Google of the area before travelling, as there is actually an abundance to see and do around Riverbend. Our washrooms also have plenty of tourist information, leaflets and local guides to help guests discover what's nearby.
Some of the many attractions include Lake Vyrnwy, Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall, Powis Castle, the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, the Sculpture Park at Llanwyddyn, beautiful walks, cycling routes, charming market towns, local pubs, cafés, and plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting and exploring the stunning Mid Wales countryside.
Thank you again for your kind words, we hope to welcome you back to Riverbend Caravan Park in the future.

Liked A great site, probably the best we have ever stayed in. Everything was spotless, the staff great, the facilities were great and the site well laid out.

From the manager: Thank you so much Paul for your lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed the clean facilities, your shaded pitch, and that your dogs made the most of the riverside field during the hot weather.
We also appreciate your feedback about the push-button showers. We understand they're not everyone's preference, but they're in place to help conserve water while still providing plenty of hot water for our guests. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
