About River View Touring Park
The site is a peaceful 7 acre family-friendly space and is south facing with an abundance of native trees, wildflowers and wildlife. It offers a rural location in South West Wales, dog friendly and easily reached form Junction 49 of the M4. The river Gywilli flows along part of its boundary which is charming and a great place to spot wildlife. The layout of the site lends itself to three defined areas, all with very different characters. The wide range of pitches leaves you spoilt for choice, as you can choose the terrain you prefer. River Meadow has a few pitches particularly for the disabled and is mainly adults only, whereas Oakwood Meadow has an area in the centre with a small play frame for recreation, making it ideal for families. For glampers, the site offers luxury log pods with underfloor heating and a handy kitchenette. The family pod sleeps two adults and two children and is a lovely home-from-home in the countryside. A table inside fold into bench type sleeping and there are two fold down beds for kids, all with mattresses supplied. In the adult pod, a seating area converts into a bed too.
River View Touring Park is open all year round.
Facilities include a modern shower and toilet block, an on site shop with everday essentials, and a book exchange and DVD library. There is a launderette provided, a family room, underfloor heating and a dishwashing area. For kids, there is a play area in Oakwoods meadow. Fresh eggs, bacon and sausages can sometimes be bought on site.

This was our first camping trip as a family of 2 adults and 3 children and it was the perfect place to start our camping journey. The check in was easy and the owners/staff were really helpful. The pitch was easy to locate and plenty big enough for our big tent. The toilets and showers were clean and tidy and were frequently cleaned through the day. We never had to wait for a shower and the fact that this site had a family shower room made it so much easier for us. The shop was stocked with essentials and the kids enjoyed going there to get what they wanted. The little park was great and was in distance of the family pitches where they could play freely and we could see them and not have to worry about them. The entertainment was great too. We went to the pub on Friday night and after going for 1 drink started 3 hours. The atmosphere and friendliness of all was great. And the food van when you've had a few drinks, was great too. I couldn't say a bad word about this place and if we return to Wales again, will definitely be booking to stay again.
A perfect stay, a lovely site with great hosts!

What a lovely little site! On arrival I was given a map and overview of the site and then got myself set up. The facilities were very clean and all the staff from the owner, lady in the shop and the food van were amazingly friendly and I could not fault their hospitality skills (genuine nice people). The shop had the essentials, the bar was well stocked for the size and the food truck was very nice to have on rainy days when you just want to relax and not cook. The chef/cook was very friendly and had a totally welcoming nature about himself. The little walk around the site was nice and the ford was fun for the dog to splash about in. We had a great stay and would 100% go back.

Things to do on site and in the Pontarddulais area
In the top field ball games can be played, and children can visit the farm animals nearby to meet and feed them. During peak times archery classes are also available for a small fee, which kids love.
Close to the site's river, there are woodland and hay meadow walks for both you and your dogs to enjoy.
The site has easy access to the beaches, mountains and countryside and many of the best attractions in South Wales.
Don't miss these great attractions:
- The National Botanical Gardens, featuring the world's largest single-span glasshouse
- Averglasney Gardens, and the beautiful Aberglasney stately home
- Llyn Brianne Reservoir, around 30 miles from the park close to Rhandirmwyn, perfect for walking dogs
- Cefn Sidan or Pembrey Country Park, a woodland area with 5 miles of sandy beaches
After a spell on the beach you can visit the ski slope and toboggan run or go for a walk or cycle in the woods. The country park really is chock full of activities, tempting visitors with crazy golf, pitch and putt, train rides, an equestrian centre and a variety of nature trails.
