Great campsite. Very neat and well maintained. We camped on the family field which was very handily right next to the children's play area. The weekend weather wasn't great so the site was relatively empty resulting in us being able to relax by the tents and have an unobstructed view of the kids some distance away on the slides and swings. We thought the showers and toilets were very clean and well maintained. A little disappointed with the clubhouse - earlier reviews led us to believe they provided hot meals but there was no sign of hot or cold food other than bags of crisps. The shop was also a little limited in terms of stock. We managed to find a great pub a short drive away (The Bluebell) which did two hot meals for a tenner - a bargain. All in all, a great site for a short stay (we stayed one night but hope to return for a longer spell later in the year).
We went to this site over the weekend of the 10th July to try our new Diablo 900XP.
Dead easy to find from the M5 or Worcester, its on the road to Upton on Severn.
I had a conversation on the phone regarding having to book two pitches as a Diablo is so big, pitches in the main field and half of the overflow field are 6m x 6m but on booking in the very pleasant and jovial owner told us he had booked us onto the 'overflow' field and we had only to pay for one pitch as long as went against the field perimeter, on the far side, which did look a touch on the slopey side but as we were early we had the run of the far side so pitched on a very level area at the bottom of the slope.
The 2 fields are very well drained, even after the 6 hours of constant heavy rain of the Saturday evening/night, no soggy area found anywhere around the tent or in the fields.
The site over the weekend was not at all busy, guess its the calm before the storm of the school holidays so showers and toilets were more than adequate, two showers in the gents and two in the ladies, free and with ample hot water and plenty of power. The bit I really liked was the block was spotlessly clean, even the water pipes to the sinks, toilets and showers looked like they had been polished, no spiders webs, clean floors and a pleasant clean aroma (even in the gents!)
Washing up facilities were great, a good idea they had, which could be adopted by other sites is an electric shower is plumbed in line with the taps so hot water, in theory, should never run out.
One small point is we were about as far away from the toilet block as possible (200 metres or so) which is a pain when its pouring with rain!
There is a 'shop', for want of a better word, didn't stock a great deal, just the usual, tea, coffee, sugar, beans etc. Its in the on site clubhouse. We didn't use it so not sure what time it is open from. The Clubhouse itself is open from 12 noon till 4.30pm and then again from 7.30 until midnight. We did go in to escape the rain but it seemed to be full of the resident static caravan owners playing Bingo, not my thing I am afraid so we had one drink and left, prices were not overly expensive, pint and a half of lager and two lemonades for £5.75.
Cost us £23 per night for a family of four and our mobile house! Good value for money as the facilities are good.
I needed a refill of gas while we were there and the owner had the bottle of me and said he would bring me a new one up to our tent for us, it turned out he had sold out but the offer to 'wait' on us was most welcome.
Upton on Severn is only a short drive (3 miles or so) away as is Malvern Hills and Worcester
We will definitely be using this site again, its only 15 mile from home but the views of the malverns and the river Severn from the tent field are stunning, its very quiet, no road noise to speak of and the air is clean. May be a little more noisy during school hols though, a fair few of the 'caravanners' seemed to be from the Black Country !
The one and only criticism I have is the length of the grass in the camping fields. Around the touring caravans the grass is cut to 'putting green length', the tent fields are not cut as short which does result in wet flip flops and feet on the way back from the toilet block if it has been raining ! (Should have taken my wellies I suppose!)
This is a lovely site, we stayed 5 nights, we had rang all around Malvern to try to get a site so we could go to Malvern Spring Garden show all full. When we rang this site and talked to the manager he said we have no touring pitches but if you don't mind we could put you on one of the static stands, thank you very much indeed, this was very good of them, all the staff where great, we had a great time, shower block small but very clean and plenty of hot water.
Once again the staff are great we are looking forward to go back to this site.
Had a great time at the show thanks to the help of the staff on this site.
We visited this site at Easter and had a really nice time. The setting was beautiful, at the foot of the Malvern Hills.
The children enjoyed walking through the local fields with the sheep, and the play area was well equiped.
Facilities were nice and clean, but the toilets seemed to be closed a great deal of the time, which was a little annoying at times, especially with a four year old.
The children were not allowed to ride their bikes around either which was a shame, but apart from that it was a really nice site.
We received a very warm welcome from the manager of the site, they have only been there a few months but have a good knowledge of the local area, gave us tips on cheaper parking in Worcester, site very clean and well maintained. Toilet blocks were modern and clean, plenty of hot water, other facilities were also good, washing up, waste disposal.
Good site for visiting surrounding area, Malvern Hills, Worcester, Gloucester etc.
Nice quite site, people seemed to enjoy themselves without the need for lots of noise.
Nice playground for smaller children. Would recommend without hesitation and very likely to return to this site ourselves.
This is a lovely site. We only stayed for one night as it was just a quick stop over to try our new tent. We tried another site in the area who turned us away because of the size of the tent. No problem at Riverside. We had a warm welcome and a relaxed atmosphere. We pitched near to the lovely playground which the kids loved (two slides, climbing frame and swings, also a small grassy hill with a tunnel through it).
The toilet facilities were clean but there were only two showers in the ladies so you might have to queue at busier times. They do close them though for two hours every morning to clean them between 10.30 and 12.30. There are alternative facilities down the hill but it is a bit of a trek! This is an inconvenience, but then the facilities are clean.
The site has lovely views of the Malverns and is picturesque. All in all it is a lovely site, but it was quiet and we were the only tent. The tent field is not huge so it might be a different story at busier times. Overall a very friendly and relaxed site with lovely views. We will visit again.
First time camping and it was aided by this excellent site. The touring field was clean, with ample play areas. It was great having a tennis court on site also.
The toilet blocks were always clean, and just to clarify regarding opening hours, there is another block further into the site that is open when the main one is closed for cleaning. The washing up areas were also clean.
The club house was OK, but the food they served was excellent. Very cheap and really nice, no frills food.
The office were very nice and even lent us some tent pegs when we realised we didn't have enough!
Before going camping over Easter to this site I was getting quite worried that we may be kicked off after reading the reviews. However, we had a fantastic time. We were pitched in tents at the perimeter of the sheep field by the children's play area. The only time we saw the warden or security person was when we arrived and he showed us where to pitch. We were told no rules about noise etc and both him and the people in the office were really friendly and helpful. There were 4 families camping together and we had a lot of alcohol with us which is why I was worried we would be kicked off, now whether it was because of where we were pitched I don't know but we never had one complaint and it was very peaceful there. A lot of the children were ill whilst we were camping, and one of our smallest had been really ill all weekend, until we had to find a local GP, the staff we very helpful with numbers to hand and giving us directions, and when the doctor had told us to give him yogurt we went to the shop but they had none, one of the staff gave us some of their own so he had got something to eat. I think the facilities are really good, staff are friendly and the food in the club was nice and reasonably priced. Could do with a bit more to do in the games room for the kids but that is definitely my only criticism and I would go back there again. The toilet block on the tourer pitch is cleaned and so closed at around 10.30 and opens again around 12.00, but at the end of the day they have to clean it some time otherwise they would get complaints that it was dirty. Plenty to do around the area, we were there 4 days and only went out one of the days to Symonds Yat which was a 45 minute drive. Great Malvern is 5 mins up the road with shops, chinese, chippy etc, Upton is a couple of mins up the road, they have a newsagent to go and get the paper. I would definitely recommend a break there.
Despite some dodgey reviews, we have just returned from this site and thought it was fantastic.
The facilites were spot on, ok, the the kids can't play by the caravans, but to be honest there is so much space for them to play in the kids area and sports fields, it not a problem and it makes a nice change, not having to worry about you van getting damaged. I have two boys aged 6 and 2 and they had a great time. Because of some of the site rules, I have to say it makes for a very quiet relaxing break and is just what we like.
It is not the place if you want the action packed activites of a busy site, where you have to watch the small kids beng mowed down by a bike or scooter of some description. Being kept awake until all hours with noise and drunken jobs, dont get me wrong, I am only 35 but enjoy the rest having been at work all weekend, and nothing spoils by nice box of red wine in the evenings!
Malverns and Upton are only a ten minute drive away. Would not hesitate to return, infact we are looking about going next weekend, to see if we can manage another of those Malvern Hills.
This is definitely one campsite I will be returning to. The grounds are well kept. the site is stunningly positioned on the river severn. you do have to walk down a steep hill to get to the shop/club and river but its well worth it because its in its own secluded valley. The tourers are on the field by the road but it depends where you pitch to whether it affects you or not. This did not bother us as the field is well enclosed with tall trees. It was nice to be on a site where they did not tolerate rowdy, and rude behaviour. You really could relax.
