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.
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.

There's not much to do around the site such as walks. However, it's a great base to travel to wherever you want as it's just off the M4. The instructions to get to the site are spot on The toilets and shower block was always clean and the showers are hot. It's peaceful and everyone respected the keep the noise down after 10:30 rule. Great stay and the weather was ok too!
Nice and peaceful

Lovely peaceful site with easy access to river for dog to enjoy a paddle. Very friendly and helpful staff. Didn't realise electric was metered but our error for not reading details properly. We didn't mind paying the few pounds extra at the end of our stay. WiFi was not working for us. Unusual bin/rubbish situation so check with reception for details. Bin area was very full and on the floor, but manager rectified the problem straight away.

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.
