River Wye Campsite

Ik was blij met: Review: 8/10 – River Wye Campsite

I had a fantastic stay at River Wye Campsite! The staff were absolutely brilliant – friendly, approachable, and went above and beyond, especially when it came to helping me store medication that needed to be kept chilled. The coffee on site was a lovely bonus – genuinely some of the nicest I’ve had at a campsite.

The location is perfect for families, couples, and even dogs. There’s a beautiful riverside walk right from the site, and plenty of well-thought-out activities to keep children and adults entertained alike.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The only thing that stops this from being a 10/10 is the washroom facilities – they’re functional but would really benefit from a modern update to match the quality of the rest of the site.

Ik was blij met: Site had variety of spots to choose

Ik was niet zo blij met: Showers were not that warm. Also my battery pack was stolen when on charge so definitely not somewhere you want to leave valuables - only while in shower and came back and gone!

Ik was blij met: Friendly staff.
Choose your own pitch.
Not over crowded.
Cafe on site, food available.
As a solo mum with a young child I felt safe and welcome. I would definitely go back.

Ik was blij met: The pitch was lovely and quiet with plenty of space and the cafe was lovely

Ik was niet zo blij met: One of the toilet blocks was closed in the morning which meant there was a bit of a queue for the showers as the door could be locked to the whole block by the person using it. The campsite is also in a housing estate so houses overlook part of the campsite so if you want to be completely in nature be aware of this

Ik was blij met: Close by pub was good as too was the river close by.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Felt like you were camping on a piece of waste ground next to a scout hut, a busy road and the back of people’s houses.
Facilities were no where near enough for the amount of people (a single toilet block with 3 toilets and bizarrely 2 communal showers). No chemical toilet disposal point.
Loud noise from other campers with generator and drinking late into the night.
Smell of weed wafting across the site.
Back field had not been mowed for some considerable time and very uneven.
Limited amount of walks nearby.
We booked for 3 days, but packed up the first morning and went elsewhere.
Photos uploaded to pitchup by the manager are very misleading.

Van de manager: I'm sorry you didn't find the campsite to your satisfaction. Out of the 8 acre site we took pains to ask campers not to camp on the recently landscaped and grassed area as we have just had a number of trees down in the winter. The 2 main fields at the front of the property comprise more than half the space and had plenty of space and the 1st picture uploaded is an area that is not used for camping as this is not flat and people walk this way to the wall and river so is misleading.

There were 3 toilet blocks available 2 to the Left and 1 block to the Right of the cafe, and I apologise if you were not shown these.

We do not tolerate any drugs on site, this is a family run family friendly campsite and we will ensure this remains so. There is an on duty manager available in and around the cafe until 11pm most nights and noise complaints must be reported. There then is an onsite manager throughout the night and it is a shame that this was not reported so we couldn't do anything about this.

Happy for you to contact us direct so we can offer you to come and camp again and experience the site as it is meant to be.

Ik was blij met: Loved the family feel of this campsite, from the sandpit, archery targets, space to ride bikes and covered outdoor spaces.
