First time camping and we had a brilliant time. Got to relax and unwind in the peaceful countryside, just what the doctor ordered! Would certainly come back again!
Great location, great facilities, great everything

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.
Good location

We stayed at River View Touring Park over the Easter bank holiday as a family of 4 in a touring caravan on an electric, hard-standing pitch. We couldn't fault anything with the site and had a great stay. When we arrived we had a few difficulties with the electric supply into the caravan (our fault, we had tripped it) which was quickly rectified with the help of the owners who went above and beyond to make sure we were sorted, despite it being a very busy time for them. The site itself was quiet and we had a peaceful few nights sleep. The location suited us as a base to explore the area, with beaches and walks not far away. Swansea is also not far away with plenty going on for children and lots of places to eat. Whilst we were there, the owners had organised for a local caterer for two evenings who served up burgers, hotdogs etc from their own farmed beef & pork and for breakfast one morning - delicious and a really nice touch. We especially loved the bar area too which is cosy and well laid out, with a log burner, dart board and plenty of seating. There is a shower block with two showers and several toilets. This was kept immaculately clean and lovely and warm with underfloor heating. Never had to wait for the shower either despite the site being full. There is a small shop on site and a launderette if needed. There are several water supply and waste disposal areas dotted around the site so you don't have to walk far. The site is really thoughtfully laid out and a lovely walk takes you around the top and side, through the woods to stretch your legs or walk dogs. Would highly recommend to families or couples and would love to come back to River View.
Nice site, very clean and lovely quiet location

Great place, quiet, peaceful and great scenic place. Facilities are fabulous, hot showers, clean toilets. Site is next to the river which is so serene. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into the place as everything you need is here, including a laundry room, fresh water and an Elsan point. The only gripe I had was the road leading into the site is probably used as a quiet hideaway for motorists to enjoy their takeaways and leave their rubbish. I would have to clean up this up if it were my business, although perhaps owners are unaware of this.
2 night stay!

We had a great stay. The weather was rubbish, but we still had a great time. The location was ideal for us to visit the area. The showers are hot and clean. The bar is a great addition and we enjoyed our drinks. The food van was a nice touch. A pizza oven would go down well (just a thought). The dog walks, and the field at the top was a wonderful spot to let the dogs run. Staff and fellow travellers were very helpful. We will call again.
Will be returning!

We have bought our first ever caravan and wanted to go somewhere really local to find our feet and how to run everything. River View was a 5 minute drive away but felt like we were on a proper holiday! You could only hear the bypass if there were sirens. The staff were amazing and were so helpful, all facilities were really clean. Our kids spent the whole weekend on the climbing frame, which was ideal as we could supervise them from our sunbathing spot next to our caravan!! The bar and food hut is so cute, I loved the fairy lights and it was very reasonable pricing too. The only cons we had were that the drinking water tap was located right next to where you dispose of your waste, as well as where the bins were kept so wasn't very sanitary. The toilet block was quite a trek for us being at the top of the field with little ones but that shouldn't be as much of an issue next time as we plan to tackle how the toilet works. None of the cons have put us off though, we will be returning in the near future to build our confidence even further :) thank you!

Our first time and we would certainly return, probably at a weekend when the bar/food van are there. Easy walk to a nice local cafe/bar. We liked the "quiet adults-only" riverside pitch.
Lovely site but our pitch was loud until midnight

The site itself is lovely and the staff were really friendly, but we booked this weekend to relax and had the baby with us so picked the quiet pitch for ease when we needed to get her to sleep. This pitch was so noisy. All night the bar attracts guests, which is a lovely touch to the site but the quiet pitch being next to the bar was really not quiet at all. On both nights we were not able to settle the baby until 11/12 at night. Even when the bar was shut for the evening, some of the guests who are sited there were extremely loud. It was a lovely site but the noisiest site we have ever stayed at. Toilets and showers were lovely and clean and bar guy was lovely and friendly.

Brilliant site. Very clean, friendly and had more to offer than expected. This was a perfect site for me and my family, we absolutely loved it, safe for the kids. Lovely and clean with great facilities, we loved the evening food and drink options. Will definitely book again. There were multiple fields for different groups, whether with kids or couples.
Our special request was 'a sunny, dry period' and you provided it over 5 days; well done!

Everything was fine for us. 'Peace and Quiet' but occasional barking dogs can be a bit of a nuisance. 'Who does site best suit?' - again the site attempts to cater for different groups including couples, and older children/young children, so potentially the site suits all, wisely in different sections (we are a couple). However, groups, as you must know can be challenging as members tend to call over (loudly) to friends and often, of an evening, members compete with their jokes in order to get the biggest laugh. We were happy to see children near us, and thankfully you do not advertise the site as 'Adults only, dogs welcome'. We have visited twice now, so hopefully will see you again next year. Have a good season.

The internet didn't work very well. There was also only one toilet block for all. It could be a five star camping site but could only give it three stars.
Great weekend

Mixed feelings about this campsite

We got ourselves stuck on arrival in soft mud area. Our own fault and we were helped by the Site Manager to get us out. However, there was little conversation when that was happening and after that we were we hardly spoken to. On arrival, the information provided said electricity was charged at an extra cost. There was no cost per unit on the sheet given on arrival, or any campsite details on the internet. Had we known there was a charge we would have based our choice of campsite on that, or made other provisions for generating electricity, i.e. we have solar panels we could have used on a very sunny week. The cost of electricity whilst we were there was £28.80 for 144 units, which was over 6 nights. This was for running a fridge and some lights, but not much as light nights. This was disappointing. The description of the site says there is a 'short woodland walk', which was a path through some trees. There are also only two showers in each block - we were fine as the campsite wasn't full but in summer season this would be different. There are lots of signs around reminding campers various 'do not' things. One is about it being a quiet campsite after 10pm. We unfortunately had to ask what appeared to permanent residents to turn down music they were playing whilst sitting in a van later than this. The campsite is pretty and there are nice things such as a bar at the weekend and food van. The shop looked nice on the last day I went to pay for electricity. Toilets were generally clean, although there weren't many people at the site and there was toilet paper sticking out of the hygiene/sanitary bin when we stayed. Some good points, some disappointing in both our views.
Great family site, welcoming and relaxing

Very welcoming family run site, pitches were nicely spaced out and there was plenty of space for the children to play without being in anyone's way. Showers were hot and toilets were very clean. Little bit of a walk from where we were situated up in the family area but not too far in practice. Bar and evening entertainment on the Saturday night was brilliant, lovely area which was very relaxing on the Sunday too. There is a food truck on site as well if you don't fancy cooking. The children's play area was small but the fairy trail and river playing made copious amount of hours of fun all in. Electric is charged at 20p per kWh which is cheaper than being at home! Location wise great for refilling supplies at Cross Hands and not far out of Swansea or able to explore the local attractions. Would highly recommend for families, great place for multiple family units to pitch up and enjoy the weekend.

It was lovely and clean and really quiet. We'd never been camping before and found it really enjoyable for our two kids and dog. There's a large dog walking field a park for the kids that we could see from the tent. The toilets were close.
Extremely clean facilities

A lovely little site tucked away, confused our sat nav, but obvious to us. Electric is payable on leaving as it's metered. Excellent facilities, so clean and warm.
