Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Delmar 1 review from this member

 Stayed here for just one night before taking the ferry to France.  Only wished we had booked for longer.  Fantastic facilities, toilets were immaculate as were the showers.  Site is very well laid out, all the pitches were generous in size.  kids had a great time in the heated pool although they were having problems with it, it didn't stop the kids from going in.  Excellent base for touring this part of England.  Would reccommend anyone travelling this way to France to stay here to break up the long journey.  Thank you to the owners for such a lovely site.

 This site was a wonderful place to stay, the toilets/showers were spotless all the time. The site is very close to the main A38 and is also next to a large industrial estate but you would never know as the site is surrounded but tall trees and greenery. There is a park and ride less that 5 mins walk from the site that takes you right into plymouth town center.
The site has a number of fully serviced hard standing pitches. These were mainly used by larger RV units when we were there.
There is a club house with a small takeaway and there are two out door pools, but I believe these are only open in the summer.
All in all, a very nice site that we be visiting again.

Reviewer: Scats.miller 41 reviews from this member

 Stayed for four excellent days. Previous reviews really say it all. Very pretty site. Great for dog walking, National Trust Land adjacent to lovely river walk. Large pitches not too crowded when we went.
Visited Saltram House, Plymouth Hoe, Overbecks, Kingsbridge
Bar was reasonable price with nightly entertainment. Spotlessly clean .planning to go again next year.

 A fantastic and friendly site! Very nice location and setting! The site shop was very poor, they had a very small selection of items, however a supermarket is situated 5 minutes walk away so any items can be bought from there. The swimming pool was very good, with very clean water! The park layout was excellent, with plenty of space between pitches so no body is crammed together! All in all a fantastic site! Going back soon!

Reviewer: Sweetpeaheidi 9 reviews from this member

 We are staying here on and off for a month, due to proximity to Derriford Hospital. Given our circumstances, the owners and fellow campers could not be nicer, kinder or friendlier. The site is immaculate, beautifully maintained and clean. The showers are difficult to drag yourself out of - hot and powerful. We chose this site out of necessity and I have to say it's the best site we've ever stayed on.The pool looks gorgeous - can't wait for it to open at the end of May. We highly recommend this site.

Reviewer: Jennywren1970 6 reviews from this member

 Lovely quiet site, dogs welcome, mine loved swimming in the nearby river.
Showers and loos spotless and indoor dish washing area was large and clean. Kids loved the outdoor pool and park, on site pub was ok, the meals and takeaways were lovely. Limited shop, sold basics, but Sainsburys just across the road. I think they should have barriers to gain entry though because when we stayed, several cars and motorbikes came in late at night and decided to play racing games, not nice, frightening for the little ones who were woke up.
Obviously not the owners fault though and we would definitely stay again.
 


Date of Visit: February 2006 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Wez flack 1 review from this member

 This site was very nice. Plenty of space for the motorhome and a big awning. The staff were friendly, and facilities were to a high standard. Great park and ride service in to Plymouth town centre about 5 - 10 minutes from this site. Will definitely visit this site again

Visited this site as an overnight stopover before catching the Plymouth to Roscoff ferry for a fortnight in France. Great site, Car can be left attached to the caravan within the stopover area for a quick early morning getaway.15mins and your at the port. On our return we stayed here for 3 nights. Outdoor pool, A cheap and cheerful takeaway service and a bar serving a pint or 2 of beer which is fantastic after 2 weeks of wine and breton cidre. The little gems were kept quiet with the play areas and games room. Pitches were spacious and the showers, toilets ect spotless. The site even had fellow holidaymakers that spoke to you as though they were your neighbours. (and no extra charge)Read the other reviews and when you visit the site please read the thought for the day. Ours on leaving related to ALL Caravanners 'It's not what you have but how often you use it'

What a lovely site, yes it is just off a main dual carriageway and it is behind a retail park, but once you are on site it is wonderfully quiet. Good pool, bar and takeaway, grass pitches are available. For more privacy choose pitches around the edges and towards the back of the site. Plymouth City centre is only a 5 minute drive away, take the Torpoint ferry across into Cornwall for some of the best family beaches around.

A large site convenient for access to main A38, a large Sainsburys, Park And Ride into Plymouth (all <1 mile!)

As soon as you enter the site you are not aware just how close you are to a busy dual carriageway etc.

Aunt Mabel's chips are excellent.

This was one of the first sites we ever stayed at and were impressed.

Be aware that it's a real funny site to find - perched in a little secluded area at the back of an industrial/retail park and off the main dual carriageways - but you don't realise this once you're on site.

Also a circular bus service runs from outside the main driveway to take you straight into Plymouth and back.

Lots of facilities though they could do with upgrading a little. Shop was okay, tidy bar and cafe with nice chips and plenty of water/drain points scattered around the site.

Most pitches are hard standing and the sub surface of the grass was a touch sturdy - make sure you have steel pegs and a good hammer!

Only bad point - the site was very very dark of a evening with very few lights which can be a little off putting and you have to get the kids back from the playpark before they are stranded in darkness.

Enjoy your stay - and the chips!!!

I agree with all that has been said. It was a good site and being able to use a dedicated cycle route was a bonus. Cheap Park n Ride to plymouth just around the corner and well worth it.
Only downside was perhaps too many little dogs a wandering. As new tenters we didn't appreciate pitching on a pile before we realised what the smell was. Perhaps a dedicated area, dog free could be provided.
We'll go again and recommend.

An excellent choice. Plymouth city centre is only a few minutes away, yet you feel in the heart of the countryside when on site. The pitches and general facilities are immaculately kept, excellent shower and washing up areas. Plenty of space for the children to play and ride their bikes, with a recently completed cycle path on the doorstep. We hope to return soon.

This was our second visit to Riverside in our tent.A clean and well maintained site in a pretty location not far from Plymouth park and ride.Toilet block spotless,plenty of room,marked pitches.Will certainly return!

I visited the site with a friend for August Bank Holiday 2001. Site was very clean, showers & toilets of very high cleanliness. Reception gave a very warm and friendly welcome, however, the shop was quite limited. I have recommended this site to friends and I am hoping to return to this site for August Bank Holiday this year (2002).
