Just spent May Bank Holiday weekend at Riverside.
Check is well organised with new arrival lanes clearly marked. You are shown to your pitch and have to set up in a certain way, car, caravan and then awning, which I found a bit funny as when you go to your car you feel like you are invading the privacy of the next pitch as you can see the people sat in there awnings.
The toilets are cleaned constantly. There are only 6 showers for men and another 6 for women. This wasn't a problem in the men's but my wife said there was a big queue for the ladies. This is a big site and another shower block wouldn't go a miss.
Some people have complained about to many rules and there are a lot, no windbreaks etc, but to be honest it is a peaceful site and we were left alone.
The cafe is good value for money with the 99p breakfast.
The river taxi is a great idea, it only sits 7 people so you sometimes have to wait. It is only £1. 50 pp and is a nice relaxing way to get into Stratford.
Stratford is a lovely place to visit.
There is a new 2 million pound club house being built which they hope to have open this year. I hope this won't spoil the place and make it expensive.
We will be going back and would like to spend a week here so we can explore the area more as Warwick, Royal Lemmington Spa are close by.

Arrived at this site on the May bank holiday Monday. As others have said it is a very large site and all units have to be parked the way the man tells you to, so you have no choice of which side you want to put your awning out. Also as people have said before there are a lot of signs everywhere, they even have one in the café explaining why they have signs.
Other than that its handy for Stratford and the little river taxi is a good little service. We used the the Crown pub up the road and sorry to say the meal was one of the worst I have ever had it was described as surf and turf which consisted of 4 pieces of scampi one tiny piece of steak half a tomato and a spoonful of peas all for £9. 99. We
Didn't use the pub again. We booked for four nights but left after three. Will not return

We were welcomed by friendly, helpful staff and were shown to our pitch which was close to the river taxi. The site is bigger than we expected and good sized pitches. The ducks roamed the site looking for generous campers with bread and seemed to take up the pitch next to us in anticipation of their next feed! The cafe served a 99p breakfast which was 1 sausage, bacon, egg and toast which was plenty for me, but my partner doubled-up for a bargain £1. 98! The only criticism was that the new clubhouse was still being built, so we had use of the neighbouring campsites clubhouse which was quite a walk from our pitch and as my dad has arthritis, we only went there once to initially check it out. That being said, at least they provided temporary facilities and it didn't spoil our stay. In fact, we are planning to return again in future once the new clubhouse is finished. Perfectly positioned for Stratford itself and a Spar and take-aways not far in the opposite direction. Overall, a great site.

Second visit to this site. Stayed for 4 nights Fri to Tues. Weather dry, luckily! Very helpful staff, had a choice of pitches on arrival. Toilet/showers spotlessly clean. Great little river taxi into Stratford £1. 50pp one way. But if you prefer a stroll, a lovely 15-20min walk and you are in the town centre. This walk is made all the more interesting by having a good 'nose' at the houses along the main road, nicknamed 'millionaires row'! A 2min walk the other way from the site is the village of Tiddington, with a Spar, Pub, Chinese Restaurant, and wine merchants.
The site has a small cafe, with outside covered seating area (handy if you have a dog). The food is lovely, and the staff very friendly. The 99p breakfast is legendary, and you can 'double up' for £1. 98! Why would you eat anywhere else? It is cosy, and reminded me of going to my mums for lunch! Anne, the owner makes you feel very welcome, and is great for advice on local attractions etc. Unfortunately, they are being made to close at the end of the season, as a new clubhouse & restaurant is under construction. I would love to see the cafe kept open as well as the restaurant. It is far more friendly, better value for money, and you don't feel as if you have to 'dress up' to eat there - a caravanners dream! I think the management should reconsider closing Annes cafe, as many people we have spoken to will think twice before coming to the site again, if this facility is gone.

We stayed over at Riverside as my wife and I were both running the Stratford half marathon on the Sunday. We had pre booked some weeks in advance. This was a very straightforward procedure.
On arrival we checked in, again with no issues, and were guided to our vary large pitch. The guide gave a very comprehensive review of the facilities.
There is a long list of rules to the site. This might seem over officious but actually helped to make the expectations very clear. Some examples that changed our normal routine was the no pup tent (to store cases as little room in campervan) and no windbreaks.
We signed up to the wifi for our stay. It was excellent on Friday and allowed us to stream on demand TV. The site was far busier on the Saturday. As a consequence there was insufficient bandwidth for anything other than basic surfing. A disappointment for a paid-for service.
The site was one of the cleanest we have experienced. Toilet blocks and washing up facilities were spotless with copious hot water.
We used the river taxi to get into Stratford a few times but also walked, just 20 mins.
Overall a great base for our time in Stratford and cannot recommend high enough.

We can almost fully recommend this site.
The half term weather was very mixed, but the facilities were always clean and not overstretched. The Saturday pig roast was welcome, and the breakfast really is 99p.
The boat trip to Stratford was a nice change, but it is easy to walk back (about a mile). Turn left and the village has a pub (The Crown. Recommend the liver), a Chinese and a very good Bangladeshi restaurant.
There are loads of attractions both in Stratford and the surrounding area (advise National Trust membership).
The only downside was the strange disappearance of our yellow mud mats, left to mark our pitch. Carefully marked and numbered pitches would mean it was not necessary to leave such markers.
We look forward to a drier return and see the new clubhouse overlooking the river.
