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.

The site is open from March to November. Grass pitches are available for Easter, then from May to September.

A note from the site themselves...

So a little about us, we're a privately owned family-run site and we do everything ourselves. Although, if our friends pop round for a cuppa or a pint, they'll sure tell you they often get their hands dirty and stuck in when they can.

We can't wait to see old customers who've become friends return and welcome new friends year after year. We're proud to be such a friendly bunch and are more than happy to help if we can, but do know if you get talking to me on-site you best get the kettle on as I can talk for Wales!

The site is clean and well managed. The owner's made you feel welcome and ensured you had everything you needed. They even offered to pick up items from the shops for us. The showers etc are excellent. There was always plenty of very hot water on demand. Usually we use the facilities in our motor home, but on this site we used the site facilities 100%. The beauty of the site is that it caters for adults separated from families if so desired. I will definitely be back.

Short but lovely stay and we will return

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Pitches (Adult Only)Sep 2024

We unfortunately only stayed two nights and headed out to Gower for our main day out. We loved Three Cliffs Bay beach and walked for miles. The site was great and a last minute pitch move made us very happy. The location is great if you drive out for the day but not very close to amenities. Tony was so helpful in advising places to visit and even offered driving us to the pub and back. Thanks Tony. Outstanding welcome and service and highly recommend.
