We picked this campsite purely on location after a long day on the nearby biking trails. It suited us very well close by, and the food was very nice at the pub located on the site. The site was clean, quite well priced. We will make a return to the site on our next visit to the area.
Short notice stop, everything I needed for 1 night

Great level pitches. Very clean facility with showers, two sinks, and hand drier. Inside washing-up area. The pub looked great! Reduced menu in low season during the week, but still a great offering and all homemade. The owners were very nice and welcoming. The site had a security gate, which gave us peace of mind. There is a beer garden and children's play area. I'd highly recommend going to White Castle nearby. It's free, which is surprising, as there's a lot to see. We accessed it via the A4665 turning onto Ross Road in our 6.3m campervan.

Enjoyed our overnight stay at Rivers Edge. Small campsite with good range of pitches. Ground flat with good shelter from trees. Pub on site did great meals. Nice walks along the river and through village.

Nice, pretty little campsite. Clean and well ordered with all the basic facilities you need. Would prefer the showers to be warmer and to stay on for longer. Other campers very friendly. Staff were polite rather than welcoming. Most were friendly and helpful. Didn't have much chance to sample the food - no breakfasts on offer, and they were between chefs when we visited. We were hoping to go walking/biking direct from the site but there wasn't really anywhere to go. But generally a nice trip with lovely views.
Site's response
Thank you Emma for taking the time to review your stay with us, we are slightly disappointed that you felt that any of our team were polite rather than welcoming and we apologise for you feeling that way. As you rightly stated, we were in-between chefs but still offered food every evening, albeit a limited menu and we have since found a breakfast chef who starts with us shortly, so we will be able to offer a full range of meals throughout the day. Slightly confused about the walking and biking comment, we are less than 500 yards from the Offas Dyke path and we could easily have offered several treks for varying abilities right on our doorstep along with bike rides, a large number of our guests choose us because of these amazing trails and treks but we are sorry you didn't get to do any of them on this occasion.

Great site and facilities. The staff were lovely and happy to help. The on site pub is fantastic with the most beautiful and yummy menu! We arrived Friday evening for 1 night and found out there was live music Saturday, the staff were amazing and made sure we could get a spot for the Saturday too. Beautiful location, we will definitely be back

Very loud private party in pub ruined stay

On arrival on Friday night, nice location, nice owners, clean and tidy, albeit a bit dated with push, low power showers, grubby grout. Can see new owners are ambitious to change this and we were pretty happy. However, unfortunately the weekend we booked (with a 2 year old) this small campsite was hosting a large private 70th birthday party in the (small) onsite pub. This went on from midday to 11:30pm and was very loud - both the live music and the large party of people. The toilets as a result were a state and full of drunk people most of the time and the children's play area was behind all this, so pretty undesirable to play on - too busy/noisy and felt like we were crashing a private party, which we were essentially by simply being there. I'm sure the event was fun for those in attendance but not appropriate to try and combine a large noisy pub event with small families and not warn them in advance. Obviously wouldn't have stayed if we'd have known - not why we go camping.

Thank you again Victoria for your feedback and as previously stated, it is unfortunate that the charity event we held did have an impact on your stay and as a new business, we have learned many things which will improve the experience of all our guests for the future and your feedback has certainly shaped some of the recent decisions we have made.
Great value, plenty of great walks

2 adults and a dog. Great facilities, didn't realise we'd been there before as name has changed. Onsite pub has been modernised with good choice of beers. Friendly owners and staff. Great walks for all abilities close by. Will definitely be back. 👏👏

Staff were lovely and happy to help. Location was perfect, nice walks and easy access to road network. Better suited towards tents rather then campervans. Toilets didn't seem to be cleaned once while we stayed for three nights.

Thank you Daniel for your review and feedback, we are very disappointed that you felt the facilities were not as we would expect. We have a 7 day cleaning operation so have already picked this up with the team to ensure we deliver what we would expect for our guests. Thank you again and we hope to see you again soon.
Nice location and base!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Whilst the pitches are closer together than some sites we have visited, it doesn't feel claustrophobic at all and would definitely go back. The pub and park were really nice. One small complaint was that the water wasn't great in the showers, so not ideal if you were planning a longer stay.
Site's response
Thank you, James, for your kind review and feedback. We have already set plans to improve the showers and facilities this winter during closed season, and hope they have the desired impact we hope for. Hope to see you again soon.
A warm welcome

We had a delightful stay, the proximity to the river is a real bonus. They were exceptionally welcoming on arrival and helpful when we needed. I'm going back to this site in 2 weeks with my children, which tells you everything you need to know really :)

A great small site situated behind a nice pub in the village of Pandy. Great spot to visit the surrounding areas. The pitches are decent size and are making improvements with hard standings. There is some road noise and the trains start passing around 6am, but that didn't bother us. The owners were really helpful up and look forward to returning to see further improvements in the future.
Site's response
Thank you Sandra for you kind review and feedback. As you rightly say, we are spending most of this year making adjustments and, what we feel will be improvements, so your feedback is genuinely useful. We look forward to showing off the new developments and changes over time. Thanks again and hope to see you again soon.
