Date of Visit: September 2017 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: SantaFe RMK 6 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site for 5 nights, and found it very disappointing. The staff at reception were fine, but no map of the site was given to us, just a verbal instruction as to the rough layout of the site, from the warden on a buggy that lead us to our pitch.

The pitch was very muddy and ours was not the only muddy pitch either. There is only one chemical disposal area with two points but only one grey waste point for the whole of a very large site.

The dog walk was fine as was the river taxi, a local pub and Spar shop 15 minutes walk away. But I heard people moan about the food in the club house.

So sorry this place has been scratched from our 'return to ' list.

Reviewer: Plinsky 15 reviews from this member

 This was our last stop following our tour of Scotland before returning home.

PROs:

1. One mile from Stratford Upon Avon

2. Good boat taxi service

3. Nice bar and restaurant area (we didn't eat there but welcoming)

4. Free shower adequate facilities

CONS:

1. Most unfriendly staff at reception on arrival and on the following day

2. Very regimental especially when shown to the pitch

3. Pitches all on grass and as you are not allowed to use windbreak or groundsheets mud can easily taken in the van

4. Grass cutting never collected: again these can easily taken in the van if not careful.

Would I return. Probably not.

 Lovely large site. Shown too you spot personally. Grass pitches with hook up. Breathable groundsheets only and no windbreaks.

Onsite lovely pub bar and restaurant. Views over canal.

20 30 min slow walk too stratford or river taxi. Holds 6 ppl so a wait is avoidable.

10min walk to Tiddington local pub spar indian and chinx take away. All lovely snd totally recommended the walk that way.

Onsite facilities l think 8 showers in the blocks. Not a lot for size of campsite. L had no trouble getting a shower, but other half did have too queue up.

Secure site barrier at night.

Lovely views and walks.

Great offer with 4 for 3 and 10%

Reception open throughout day.

Child friendly and dog friendly.

Reviewer: Geoffb63 3 reviews from this member

 Just done the 4night for 3night midweek offer. Great site. Nice and level grass pitch.

Facilities very good a lot better than most. Great location for mooching around the area.

Boat taxi to Stratford very nice relaxing sail and reasonable price £2 each way. 5mins walk to Tiddington village, pub, takeaway`s, general store on doorstep. Everybody friendly and helpful.

Cannot comment on children`s side as do not have any. Believe weekend lively + entertainment, but midweek better suited us. Easy access to and from M40.

Excellent value for money and would recommend.

Reviewer: Manofmersea 1 review from this member

 Good pitch size, water taxi a very handy bonus, took advantage of the 4 for 3 nights offer as Stratford has so much to offer.

One gripe is the toilet/shower blocks, they are way past their best and akin to old Army Barrack block amenities! Although mostly clean I really didn't like using them.

Most sites concentrate on updating the amenities and people actually expect better facilities these days, so investment in this area would be a good idea.

Didn't use the bar or sample the food as the evening we arrived we went for a look around and quite frankly wasn't impressed with the cleanliness.

In summary a great location, but investment in facilities and a watchful eye by management on cleanliness would be an advantage.

Date of Visit: July 2017 Unit:  Campervan
Nights stayed: 7 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Campermaid 20 reviews from this member

 Great site with friendly staff and clean toilet/showers. The river taxi is so handy, but at busy times make sure you get back to taxi stop in town well before 5. 20 (last taxi), as there could be a queue and the taxis only take 6 at a time. The friendly drivers wont leave you stranded, but its unfair to make them work late.

The restaurant is very good though a tad expensive. I had the lamb liver and mash with onion gravy, but this came with no veg! At £12 I thought I should have got veg. Very tasty all the same.

Also the campsite gives you 10% discount off your first meal there. Make sure you check they actually take it off, as they didn't with us. I brought it to the waitress's attention but she insisted she had done it. We had to go back next day and show the manager, as it could have been happening with every customer. I know its just a small amount, its just the principle of it. Why give you a 10% voucher if they aren't really going to take it off. So check your receipt.

Other than that a fantastic site, hope to return one day. 


Date of Visit: July 2017 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Mjs67 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed for 1 week in July - first time at Riverside.

Pros

Easy entrance system, sign in and then taken to pitch by chap in a gold buggy, discussed your requirements and sited as appropriate.

Clean site, good access to both pitches and water/electricity. Pitches had a good sized grass area between the 2 rows of caravans and plenty of room between each caravan in the row. Seemed to be a dedicated motorhome field opposite washrooms.

Washrooms were clean and tidy with plenty of showers and toilets.

Good size pot washing room.

Bar/club was nice enough but not really suited to families with kids who just want to sit and enjoy the music without tearing around the room causing mayhem.

Cons

No shop!

Seems to be far more geared around the holiday home/static guests.

Grass area for the awning was mudbath when we arrived.

River taxi is quaint but for a family of 4 its quite pricey to go each way.

Playground is a long long way from the caravan area - and under the bar area so couldn't allow to play alone.

Only 1 washing machine and tumble. Rules state no airing so must use tumble. 400 pitches - you do the maths.

In summary a lovely site and I would stay again but id say its child tolerated rather than child friendly.

 This is a very nice campsite with everything that you want for a good holiday! We used the water taxi (£2) each way for a nice way of getting into town. Or you could walk about a mile (all flat). We had a train ride to Warwick for the day also. Lovely clubhouse on site with great food and drink.

Reviewer: Trevor57 91 reviews from this member

 Location, Location, Location is what this site is all about being only a flat mile walk from the site into the centre of Stratford. There were people going backwards and forwards between Stratford and the site on their mobile scooters. There is also the river boat service provided by the site.

To access the site the route given by the campsite is by far the best from the M40 so don’t go by your SatNav ours would have taken us into Stratford! From the M40 after passing through Tiddington Village the site is on the right after about 300 yards opposite the NFU Mutual HQ, the site shares the access with Stratford Bowls Club. When booking in we were given a 10% off voucher for use at the very nice restaurant and bar whilst we were there.

The comments in other reviews below cover the site fairly well so I would only add from a Motorhome point of view it would be nice to have some hardstanding pitches. Although they state the land is well drained this is only true of the perimeter of the fields. The centres are a bit boggy after rain and to illustrate this they had to tow a motorhome off whilst we were there as it had got well and truly stuck in the mud. Our advice would be that when they pitch you if a pitch is available around the perimeter just off the road ask for one of them, we did and had no problem. This site has a excellent Motorhome Service Point which is easy to access which is always welcome.

Overall a very nice and well located site that we would recommend. 


Date of Visit: April 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Damaca 96 reviews from this member

 This nice large site is well located, about a mile from Stratford town centre. Although beside the river, there is regrettably no way of walking to town other than along a quite busy road, as the expensive properties between the site and the town have commandeered the river frontage. There is an infrequent bus service. The inexpensive and reliable river taxi provided by the site is excellent and good value, unfortunately it doesn't run after 5. 20pm.

The motorhomes and caravans are placed in lines on two large grassy fields. We were quite near our neighbours but weren't much troubled by this. The toilet block only had 4 showers in the mens' section which meant queueing at peak time (8 am), this was midweek in April so I would worry about this in high season. Apparently there are more showers (6) in the womens' section.

The reception staff were friendly and efficient. However we didn't like that they strimmed the grass all around us one day, including the area where our, and other, electric cables were lying. This should be done when the area is empty.

We had a look into the newish bar/ café/ restaurant, it seemed nice and people were enjoying drinks and meals inside and outside on the upper terrace and in the courtyard below. We didn't make use of it though.

 This is a very nice large site situated about a mile from the tourist town of Stratford, nice walk along to road (taking in all the posh properties) or there is a very good river taxi service run by the site. The toilet and shower facilities are modern and kept very clean, there is a new pub / restaurant on site situated elevated alongside the river (a lovely place for a beer) To be honest although it's a large busy site it has everything you could want and is very well maintained by what seamed like an army of staff !

Reviewer: Para638 4 reviews from this member

 Initial impression was a very professional and well run site, booked at a busy time but felt like sardine in rows of caravans. A bit of a walk to the toilet block and chemical waste. Great river taxi service, great children's play area and crazy golf. Nice pub on site but dogs aren't allowed in and dog's can't be left in the caravan (club rules) so never got to try it out. Beautiful surroundings. About 1 mile from town.

Reviewer: BarnacleBob 5 reviews from this member

 An excellent site we found to be very enjoyable and relaxing.

The toilets and showers were plentiful and clean with a plentiful supply of hot water.

A river taxi service to Stratford Centre is good value and most enjoyable. This made for a stress free day visit to the town.

The on-site bar and restaurant looked fairly new and pleasant but our two night stop did not allow us to visit it.

The grass only pitches are large and we were shown to ours by a friendly staff member.

We enjoyed our short visit and felt it gave good value for money. We will return sometime in the future

 To Find Site:- Leave M40 at junction 15 and take A429 in the direction of Cirencester. In about seven miles turn right at roundabout onto B4086 towards Stratford upon Avon. Pass through Tiddington village and the campsite is on the right opposite NFU Mutual. The site can also be approached from Stratford, once over Clopton Bridge take first left towards Tiddington and site in about a mile on the left.

Riverside Park is nicely situated on the banks of the River Avon. The site accepts touring units but not tents. The site slopes down from the main road towards the river and static accommodation is at the top of the site, no doubt to protect them from winter flooding. There are several touring sections near to the river on mainly level grass although it is a bit bumpy. The pitches are of a reasonably size and are marked out by the electric points which are fixed to high posts. Site staff accompany you to your pitch. The electrical connections are rated at 10 amps and use CEE17 blue connectors. Water points are dotted around the site but the only grey water waste disposal is next to the motorhome service point. The toilet block is of the older variety and whilst it is perfect clean and serviceable it could be improved by a refurbishment. Within the building is a covered dish wash facility and also a washing machine and tumble dryer. The site has a rather swish looking restaurant/bar overlooking the river which looks like a fairly recent addition to the site. It is popular with campers and prices are not too bad and the food good. They also do takeaway food as well. The building is on stilts and underneath they have a crazy golf course and adjacent to that a children’s playground. There is site wide WiFi which is not that cheap but gets better value the longer period you pay for. In fairness to the site they do give a fifteen minute free access a day which is probably enough to check e-mails. The mobile signal is good here as well so mobile data could also be used. Reception has a small area dedicated to local information. There is no on site shop but a few essentials are sold in reception. The site operate a water taxi service from a landing stage by the restaurant and the service will take you right into Stratford upon Avon. During our stay the cost was £2 each way for an adult which was actually cheaper than the bus if you don’t have a Bus Pass! I was surprised how good the pitch prices were if you take the Monday to Friday four day deal which worked out at a very reasonable nightly cost even in high season. If you show your C&CC membership card you will get an additional discount.

The major advantage of this campsite is the proximity to Stratford upon Avon which is about a mile from the site. The is also a footpath along the road all the way into town for those that prefer to walk. As well as the water taxi direct from the site there is a regular bus service from Tiddington village which is only a short walk from the site. The village has a convenience store, a pub and several restaurants. Stratford provides both cultural and retail therapy depending on your needs. If you wanted to see a Shakespeare play at the RSC it would only be a short taxi ride back to the site if you also wanted to enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants in the town. If you prefer messing about on the river there are also trip boats. Fishing is also free from the banks of the Avon from within the campsite but you do need a Rod Licence.

Reviewer: GMC1958 56 reviews from this member

 We enjoyed our stay at what is a pleasant but commercial open plan site. The reception and attitude of the staff was friendly and professional. The toilet block was good and very clean as we're all the facilities. The Riverside Bar was excellent value and quality both for food and drink. The river taxi in to Stratford is a trip to die for and excellent value. My only gripe was pitch privacy, not nice having someone walk so close to our unit, looking in that they walked into our aquaroll. Kids riding bikes around the site roads is fine but, riding in between pitches is not. Would we visit again? Yes, definitely but will visit out of peak season.
