This is our 6th visit to the site due to location in Stratford. Would say clean site but its all Rules rules rules, you cannot even use a wind break nearing the end of Sept to cook outdoors. The children were told off for rolling a ball within the touring field yes I mean roll to a toddler (even when lots of empty pitches) Strict leave on the dot rules or you will have the little golf cart waiting at your caravan (this was 20mins late)and get the nightly fee charge. Also if you are with the camping and Caravan club ask for the 10% discount that you should have.
We had a week mid august. We had warm welcome shown our plot and advised of all amenities which was very close except for club which was a 10 mins walk which we didn't mind. Toilet area was constantly being cleaned during the day. I found the showers on the poor side constantly having to press the plunger. I must say I only tried one as others was occupied so I opted for disabled as I am partially disabled the disabled shower was great. My wife said her showers was ok.
The site was lovely and flat and appeared well drained. We were 30mts from cafe toilets and river boat how handy is that a pleasant well maintained site. And well used. Over the river is statics and lodges well worth a walk round. The club only had a turn on sat evening. There is a childs park outside the club the beer prices was good. There was a pub + bus stop in village 20 mins walk. Or stratford 30 mins walk (slow). Or a river ride for £1-50.
Many things to do in Stratford, Warwick castle is great, Leamington spa, heritage car museum. Absolutely loads to do and to be entertained by. That is at a price as it is everywhere is. Yes I did do the ultimate and have the 99p breakfast I also had the apple pie and custard at £1-50 no not for my breakfast. The cafe was handy if you didn't want to cook.
Just spent a long weekend here and were delighted! Pitches were flat and well maintained and although we were not next to the river we were quite glad as there were a lot of Canada geese which made quite a mess! Used the river taxi several times and found it superb, the drivers were lovely, but agree that they finish too early, last one back 5 o'clock.
Breakfast was excellent, we had a takeaway three times, my husband doubled up and without extras it still only cost three quid!
Five minute walk into Tiddington village,pub old and friendly, food good. Spar shop next door and Indian and Chinese restaurants across the road which both did takeaways.
Will certainly return, found the campsite and the whole area had lovely ambience.
Received a warm welcome from the staff and were quickly guided to a nice level grassed pitch, with hook up. Sadly we were not near the river, but the site does have a fair few pitches that virtually front the river if you are lucky enough to get one! The toilets were well kept and very clean, with ample hot water and plenty of showers so no queues in the morning! Lots of children on site, and there is a good play ground for them as well as plenty of room to cycle etc. We walked into Stratford along the busy main road, it is level and about a twenty minute walk past some fantastic houses. Also used the river taxi, and like other reviewers only wish it ran later! For visiting this area, I think this site is really well placed and very well kept. We didn't sample the famous 99p breakfast this time. Maybe next time!
Stayed for one night then moved onto the rally field for a further 2 nights at this site. There is one large toilet block for the entire site, it is kept very clean but I did feel it was quite old fashioned in it's decor and could do with sprucing up. The showers are free and plentiful, numerous toilets and privacy cubicles but considering the size of the site, 2 large rally fields and 2 large touring fields maybe an additional toilet block would be a nice addition.
The 99p breakfast is excellent value and extremely popular as you can eat in or take out. There is a club on site with a happy hour, a children's play area and a large dog exercise field but I did feel that a few more doggy poo bins would have been nice as it might encourage people to do their bit and clear up after their dogs.
Stratford on Avon is a 20 min. Walk away, the local village has a Spar shop. 2 takeaways, an off licence and a pub. There is a riverboat taxi which costs £1.50 per person each way and we were told a charge of £1 per dog each way which we thought was a bit excessive so we walked.
We found the site too busy and noisy, it was summer holiday time so lots of children but they did seem to 'pack in' the caravans and motorhomes.
A good location, very clean facilities but not for us as we found it too noisy and too many rules and regulations to adhere to and too many add on costs.
Just returned from this site, and I must say it is the best site we have been to.
Met at reception and taken to our pitch, right next to the river.
The site is very well run and the toilets are cleaned regularly and are very clean, only downfall was the taps in the sinks did not work very well, however the showers and toilet areas were very large, giving ample room.
The cafe was nice, breakfast 99p 1 sausage 1 bacon, 1 egg on toast, however if you had a coffee or tea the price doubled, each additional item cost about 50p, also you could eat in or take away.
Town centre 20 minute walk away, wide range of bars,shops and restaurants, lots of American and Japanese tourists, some places quite pricey.
On the river you can take the small boat from millennium bridge 1-50p to the town, look at the houses and see how the other half live.
Nice club on the next site down, (Same owners)well priced beer.
Overall a very nice place, and I would recommend this place to anyone, we will be back next year.
Second visit, came this time last year not as good second time around, due to only shower blocks and waste disposal been spoilt by caravan club site 5 star camps). Showers poor pressure. Location mint, cafe mint, wardens mint. Shower block needs updating would be a 6 star camp if updated! 1 mile walk to Stratford. Indian restaurant just out side camp a must plus a spar across from Indian plus a good pub. Also a Chinese which I did not visit but looked fab next to Indian. All in all great location but not 5 star facilities.
We arrived at the site having visited last year, so we knew what to expect here, the 99p breakfast being the main draw!
A lovely welcome by the owners, quick check-in and then shown to our pitch, where we quickly set up.
The toilet and shower block are clean and basic. The only thing I would point out is that, when showering, do not hang your towel on the hooks on the back of the door, as these are on the same side of the shower curtain as the shower head and will get soaked. Use the window sill instead for putting your towel / clothes on!
The 99p breakfast comprises 1 egg, 1 bacon, 1 sausage and 1 toast, with the option of a 'Double 99' (2 of each). Any variation to the above costs slightly more (I understand this to be the reason their prices have not varied in 10 years). The cafe also sells basics (bread, milk, etc.) and you can order your newspaper by 4pm the previous day. You can eat in or there is a covered area outside with tables. We chose to use 'take-out' and take the food back to our 'van.
A short ride to the village of Tiddington and you have a pub, which we believe does very nice meals; together with a general store (Spar); Chinese Restaurant with attached Chippy; we believe there to be an Indian Restaurant a bit further along the road too.
Stratford itself is an amazing place and a 10 minute bike ride from the site - a must if you are historically minded, but equally so if you are not! Weatherspoons ('Golden Bee') in Sheep Street is very good value for those on a budget (fish, chips, peas and cup of tea for £2.99!), with nice food and we usually followed this with a stroll along the river - very pleasant in the evening.
All in all, we enjoyed ourselves that much that, after planning four nights here, we stayed another two!
Very pleasant and will return again if in the area.
We were here about 7 years ago but the tourers are now on the other side of the river! So after some confusion we eventually arrived.
Excellent site and very good value. The showers are very roomy which I liked. Last time we were here we walked along the river to get into Stratford but we couldn't this time so just walked along the road a 30 minute walk - and looked in envy at all the posh -and very varied houses. One had a garden full of lavender and you could smell it from across the road.
Even if you like walking, take the river taxi some time from the campsite as it was very enjoyable. But we were a bit disappointed that it stopped running so early -5'o clock I think was the last one.
Stratford was so lovely in the sunshine - so good to see everyone enjoying themselves by the water (is it all canal or part river? -I'm not sure - I know some of its canal).
We walked to Anne Hathaways Cottage which was probably a 4 mile round trip which was to be recommended.
My partner recommends the 99p breakfast he had from the cafe! But any variation on the breakfast cost a bit more than that so if you are from Yorkshire and like value for money like us then ask the price first! Good on them though for making a success of their little cafe and providing a popular service.
In June we had a few days here and it is a lovely site, well organised and the 99 p breakfast is worth a try, we had a takeaway and sat in the comfort of our own caravan to eat. The river boat takes you into the town centre and is a nice journey, very friendly lot, the town market is worth a visit. The showers are good but we had to queue and wondered what it might be like in the peak season. We also found we couldn't get a TV signal, not even with our 80 CM dish that we use in the south of France so I think its best to ask for a pitch where they know you might have a chance of getting a signal if you really want TV. A lovely site and area to visit.
Stopped off at Riverview for 3nights, to break the long journey from Cornwall back to Scotland. Was given an extra night free as well as discount for being Caravan Club/Camping & Caravan Club members. Reception staff were helpful and we were shown to our pitch by an an employee driving a buggy.
The site is level, large, and when we were there quite busy. Handy for the town if using the Water taxis, but on the morning we tried to there were too many people in front of us in the queue, so we walked to town instead. (about 25 minutes) Managed to use the taxi on the return journey to the site and the sail on the river was very pleasant.
Stratford a very interesting town, would perhaps go back some day as we did not really have time to see all that we wanted to. My Husband tried the famous 99pence breakfast and thought it was OK and good value for money.
We thought the toilets were very dark and gloomy,even in the daytime. Some lightbulbs not working. There was a male cleaner employed, but I only saw him a couple of times and he did not appear to do any cleaning, just came in to the block, had a walk round, and then went out again. Thought the toilets were a bit smelly and not properly cleaned. Could be improved.
That said, probably would return as it is a convenient stopover if on a long journey.
We stayed at Riverside Caravan Park on our way down to Devon. It is a convenient staging post breaking up the journey from The North of England to The West Country. I'm not exactly sure of the year we stayed. I think it was 2010, certainly within the last couple of years.
Previously, we had stayed over the other side of the river Avon at the Avon Caravan Park. The two are separated by a bridge. Now Avon CP is just for static caravans.
We didn't look for a play area, so potential visitors will have to make this enquiry themselves. Also, I think tents were allowed, but again; check with Riverside. Dogs, as I recall are welcome.
The Toilet and shower block were of a reasonable standard and clean. There is a small shop over the bridge at The Avon Caravan Park. Also a small shop/Cafe where they serve a super breakfast on a bun. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beautiful River Avon was just metres away.
One of the best things about Riverside CP is the water bus, operated from the site by members of staff. There is a charge for this service but its not excessive. This is a regular service running between the site and the town of Stratford Upon Avon and back. Stratford and the surrounding towns offer lots for visitors to see, especially with the Shakespeare connection. The town itself is attractive with lots of history to its name. There is a Tour bus, which is well worth using as they take you to Shakespearse's house, burial place. Ann Hathaway's cottage etc. Giving you lots of information as you travel.
Riverside is well placed as a destination in its own right or, as we use it as a stage along our journey to The West Country.
We would certainly use Riverside again and recommend it to other Caravanners.
Arrived on Thursday for a three day break, we were shown to our pitch by a member of staff who showed us where all the facilities could be found, the site was not full, but we were told that they expected to get busy at the week-end, which it did and was full by Friday night.
The pitch was a good size and we had plenty of room between the other caravans. One fault was there was only one waste water point on the site so you had to carry your waste water a long way to dispose of it.
The showers get very busy at times and the water was not up to temperature at times, also there was no children's play area which would be a bonus to some caravanners.
The club house is on an adjoining static site and is a couple of minutes walk to get there but nice facilities and a small play area adjoining the club.
The toilets/showers were kept spotless and the site is kept to a very high standard.
All in all the site was very good and we will be revisiting.
We arrived at riverside Friday afternoon for the bank holiday weekend. This site is very easy to find and we had very warm welcome from reception on arrival
We booked in and were taken down the drive where we were told all about the site facilities inc. the 99p breakfast, bargain, and then we taken to our pitch by a member of staff. Once we got our caravan established we decided to explore around this site.
We found the toilets were clean and maintained well could do with extra showers in the gents toilets as there was only 3 showers, and we had to get in early to avoid queueing, but it was busy due to a bank holiday weekend
There is a park for the children, very handy, a large field to play football. The on site food was a bargain with a small shop inside very handy. There is entertainment most nights with a happy hour for the drinks
The river taxi to town was useful and a nice relaxing ride into Stratford and back, wasn't running the one day due to windy conditions but still only a mile into town and the walk was nice
The site is very flat with plenty of water points at hand and plenty of room between the pitches.
The only problem we encountered was a power cut on the evening of one of the nights, but this only lasted for 10mins.
Local shop was not too far away in the local village, with a chinese and indian takeaway and a local pub, very handy
We visited the well know Welsbourne market only 10 mins away well worth a visit.
All in all a very nice site with a lot of amenities at hand and very pleasant staff who run it and we will go back there again during the summer months.
A fairly flat touring area alongside rental and owned statics. Useful if you have a tourer and want to stay with family or friends who want to hire a static. Bank Holiday booking allows a stay from 10am Friday to 4pm Monday.
Very friendly and helpful welcome, everyone is accompanied to their pitch and shown exactly where to stop. Awnings are allowed but no tents or windbreaks. As two couples travelling for a weekend together our two motorhomes were not allowed to have their doors facing each other. We were told they do not like to have awnings facing each other, something we have not encountered before.
The toilets were clean and kept that way (there are notices saying there is a male cleaner in the ladies in case that worried anyone). There were long queues for showers in the mornings, but then the site was full for the bank holiday weekend.
The water taxis were very popular but did not run if it was windy - which was 2 out of the 3 days. They are small boats which take 7 people at most and run every half hour so there can be a wait. It is a pleasant trip right to the centre of Stratford.
The cafe was open in the mornings, afternoons and evenings but closed at 4 on Sundays. The breakfast was ok, fried egg on toast with bacon and sausage for 99p, other options available including vegetarian and food can be ordered to take away. The adjoining static area has a clubhouse with happy hour and entertainment some evenings.
There are plenty of open spaces for games but, despite the numbers of people on site it was still a quiet and a relaxing place to be.
