 We love it here. Our third visit. Such a lovely site for families, run by a lovely family. Great value for money.
The children spend their time in the indoor pool and making friends at the play area and zipline. We enjoy a game of pool with them in the games room in the evenings.
By day we love the cycle track which takes us to the village and huge beach at Pentewan.
Chip van visits once a week and there is a chicken takeaway opposite the entrance.
We don't have a dog but they are allowed on site (must be kept on a lead) and a dog walk area is available.
Highly recommend for a relaxing family break.

Great site, with great hosts, second year using the site.
Well kept site.
Cycle path right behind the campsite and a farm shop nearby, handy for both St Austell and Mevagissey

I spent an enjoyable week at River Valley, my fourth stay here over the years.
Quality of the site and welcome from the staff as always impeccable.
I took my mum to Cornwall in my new caravan with my dog, the site is perfect for travelling all over the county.
Facilities lovely and clean, showers hot and plentiful.
Plenty of dog walking from site. Didn’t venture into the pool this trip but there were families with small children enjoying it.
I will be back I’m sure.

The site it's self is OK if your driving a car, where as my wife and I were on a motorcycle.
Would be good to have some warning of the entrance maybe 100 yards or so before it.
The entrance is a little steep. Lots of leaves on the ground and horrible when wet especially when leaving the site. Nearly dropped the bike on the way out on more than one occasion.
Site pitches are all gravel and again great for cars or vans but not for bikes.

Total 100% peaceful camping. Bliss.
The welcome was warm. The pitch was generous. The pool looked great.
Toilets/showers immaculate. Play area for kiddies looked clean, safe and inviting.
I really wanted to try the zip wire (kids only).
It is so easy to get to places with the bus stop just down the road from the site entrance.
We took the bus to the station and day tripped by train to St Ives.
Weather was glorious. We came home feeling relaxed.
So thanks for a wonderful week.

Stayed at this lovely quiet campsite for a couple of nights in order to visit The Eden Project.
Easy access off main road.
The first part of the site has static caravans then behind these is the touring area.
Everything is very well laid out with water points and concealed rubbish bins.
The toilet block is immaculate and showers excellent. Reception has a small shop with essentials.
A short walk away around the outside of the park away from the road is a farm shop and cafe serving delicious lunches.
There is a bus stop (to Pentewan or St. Austell) three minutes walk away.
Round the corner is a very good restaurant called Kingswood.
Highly recommended.

One of the best sites we have stayed on. Very quiet. Very well set out. Clean and tidy around the site.
Showers and toilets immaculate. Very friendly site. Mobile fish and chips call Saturday. Be warned portions huge. Very tasty.
Good base for exploring.

Had a lovely 2 night stay. Really clean facilities, all within easy walking distance of our pitch. Lots of water taps close to all pitches.
Enjoyed a walk along the Pentewan Valley Trail. This is also a cycle way. Ate at Kingswood bar and restaurant, delicious food. Easy 15 min drive to Eden Project, and Mevagissy.
Would score River Valley 9/10 - great location, friendly staff, clean facilities, well kept grounds. Would definitely stay again.

Just had a long w/e, only booked early in in the week and they had to juggle pitches around to fit us in,
First time visiting but will definitely be back
Very clean and have the social distancing sorted out
Only downside for me is you have to pay for WI - FI never done that before.

My third stay at River Valley, just me and my dog Tess. The pitch was lovely, the site clean and tidy, with them having all weather pitches there's never a problem with battered pitches, they are always pristine.
Facilities spotless, plenty of water points, bins and recycling. Entry to site is via a card operated barrier, very secure. Staff and owners all very nice. Lovely walks in the woods and into towe along the cycle path.
I wouldn't hesitate to return again when I need a Cornwall fix.

We had great time in this camping site. The reception was friendly and helpful 😄. The location is perfect to get around Cornwall.
The pitch is very spacious and clean. The toilets are clean. We definitely recommend it to others and if we visit Cornwall again, this is definitely our first choice. 😄

Love River Valley, value for money hardstanding pitches, a fabulous indoor swimming pool, no club house just small and family friendly.
In close proximity to a pub and fabulous restaurant, a small petting area with pot belly pigs and chickens.
Behind the site is a cycle path which leads to Pentewan beach with the fabulous Hubbox and in Pentewan Village a great pub.
St Austell has plenty of facilities and the most gorgeous fishing villages of mevagissey and fowey are a short drive or indeed bus ride away. The lost gardens of Heligan is an hours walk away or a short drive and the Eden Project is nearby
We really love this site and are heading back soon it really is our happy place.

We stayed at this site for the first time in July, granted only for a short break.
What a lovely site, the pitches were well maintained and of a good size.
The hedges to the pitches providing privacy and encouraging nature, we saw cheeky little robins who sat on the caravan step obviously they knew a treat awaited!
The site was immaculate and homely, if asked would we recommend it. Than yes would be our answer!
